equally characteristic medieval village of Certaldo Alto, the birthplace of the
poet Giovanni Boccaccio. From the photo, which was taken from our San Gimignano

Villino del Grillo, where you can find numerous shops, bars, supermarkets,
pharmacies, restaurants , swimming pool, railway station and other
.
