We stayed at Fattoria Bacio in May/June 2010. We were a party of 50 altogether, and stayed for a week, during which our daughter and fiance got married in Certaldo Alto. It was the perfect place for a group, with the villa and surrounding accommodation. It was clean, comfortable, and very relaxed. The owner made us very welcome, and was so much help for the wedding reception, which was held in the beautiful grounds outside the villa. Nothing was too much trouble. It was just the most fantastic spot.. Very picturesque. We were looked after very well and would definately recommend it. and will go back there someday.

Misleading website! Staying here was not the authentic agriturismo experience we were hoping for. We stayed for a week and were disappointed that the self-catering units are across the road and up the hill from the main villa and pool. The private back garden wasn't worth sitting in as it overlooked cars and heavy machinery, beyond that lay the Tuscan countryside. There's no view from the front of the suite, only the road. The owners who will answer your email query are nowhere to be seen so expect nothing from them. The man who manages the property pretends not to understand English, or so we were told.
This is by no means a convenient location to see Tuscany, nor is it the most scenic area. Stay east of the RA3 if you wish to see rolling hills, quaint towns and vineyards.

We unfortunately only spent one night at Fattoria Bacio, but it was one of the best nights of our entire honeymoon! We arrived in Certaldo by train from Florence and had some trouble finding a taxi, but one finally did appear. Once we got there the wonderful owners gave us our choice of rooms in the main villa and showed us around their wine & olive oil making facilities. We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon relaxing by the pool and wandering around the vineyards. If you have the opportunity to enjoy the home cooked Tuscan meal on Thursday do it! For 25 Euro's a piece you get a wonderful meal complete with desert and all the wine and grappa you want. Overall a wonderful stay, can't wait to return for a longer visit!

"I could live here". I had the opportunity to stay here for a week with my husband in Sept and then 2 weeks with 7 friends. Both experiences were equally as amazing. We were there during the grape harvest, which we both loved. The last two weeks hunting for rabbits had begun in the fields. Waking up to the harvesting machines off in the distance, the constant sweet smell of the grapes, the call of the hunters to the dogs in the distance flushing out the rabbits.....heaven. Picking fresh figs each day on our hilly runs in the morning.
Perfect location to visit all the hilltop towns and yet a fab place to chill by the pool.
We had a Tuscan cooking class at the villa by the owner and her sister.

The quality of the Fattoria Bacio was superb in every way.

Cheers,
