@alidalifetravel: Exploring hidden gems in Tuscany 🇮🇹 . Today we are visiting Certaldo, a true hidden gem in Tuscany. . Certaldo is a perfectly preserved, red-brick medieval village in Tuscany known as the birthplace of author Giovanni Boccaccio and for its distinct, sweet red onion (Cipolla di Certaldo). It is divided into a modern lower town and a historic, car-free hilltop village (Certaldo Alto) reachable by funicular. Certaldo Alto is built entirely in red brick, famously lacking a traditional main square, and it's one of the most unique towns in Tuscany. . Certaldo is connected by train with Florence and Siena. We came by car and parked it safely for 10 Euro per day, and we stayed at one of the beautiful The Bella Vista Toscana apartments. . #certaldo #certaldoalto #bellavistatoscana #tuscanhiddengem #creatorsearchinsights
