For those using a GPS navigator:
Sometimes the roads proposed to reach Certaldo Alto (in particular Costa degli Alberti) are not passable. We therefore recommend that you type in the GPS the address 'Via del Castello' (43.547035, 11.042588) or 'Via delle Mura' (43.549889, 11.045088) and follow the navigator only when you are inside the historic center.
In Certaldo Alto there is a Limited Traffic Zone
Guests of accommodation facilities are allowed to enter the historic center and stay 30 minutes for loading / unloading. There are two gates, the main one in Via del Castello and the second one in Via delle Mura, both with a video camera. It will be our responsibility to communicate the license plate of the vehicle after arrival.
