Capanna 1826

Antonella welcomed us like family, and the wines they make are fantastic and worth tasting. The views across the Tuscan hills and lovely Certaldo Alto are breathtaking. Marco recommended a visit to Certaldo Alto, and it was a wonderful surprise, a charming place full of history with few tourists for now. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped, and the whole place has a cozy charm. Breakfast was delicious, made with fresh local ingredients and shared around one table, like a big family meal. It really adds to the welcoming atmosphere. Finding the property can be a little tricky the first time, but it doesn't spoil the experience. It's only a 10 minute drive from San Gimignano's historic center. There aren't any shops nearby, so plan ahead and buy food if you want dinner in your room or snacks on hand. A true countryside retreat, and one we'd happily recommend!

Sharing breakfast with the other guests gave the stay a lovely family feel, and it was the part we’ll remember most. Being right among the Tuscan vineyards, with such beautiful surroundings, was already beyond what we expected. Antonella is wonderful, and Marco was a great host too. Try their wine if you can. We would have taken some home if we’d been able to.

After two days in Firenze, the peace and quiet here was exactly what we needed. The room was roomy, the beds really comfortable, and the views were lovely. Antonella and Eleonora greeted us with a glass of wine they make themselves, and they were fantastic hosts. Breakfast had loads of local products to choose from. San Gimignano is a pleasant 10 minute drive away. We’ll definitely be back.

I had a quiet, peaceful stay, and even got an early morning walk through the vineyards. Antonella was so nice and accommodating. The room was spotless, and the bed was really comfortable. I felt welcome as soon as I arrived. Breakfast was just right, with meats, pastries, juices, and coffee. I highly recommend staying here.
