La Giara In Calenzano

13/03/2025: The beauty of this place is indescribable in words! We were welcomed with a delicacy and courtesy that made us immediately feel at home. Osteria del Vicario is not just a restaurant or a simple B&B, but a refuge for the soul, a corner of peace nestled between the ancient walls of the medieval village of Certaldo. Breakfast was a real experience: rich, genuine and entirely vegan. Each dish tells of the passion and care with which it was prepared, and the choice of quality ingredients is perceived with every taste. A detail that struck us deeply was the biscuit, also vegan, offered to our Super Lucky🐶, a thoughtful gesture that demonstrates the attention and respect that this place reserves for every living being. The location is simply magical: the timeless charm of the village, the tranquility that envelops every corner and the breathtaking view create a unique atmosphere. It is the perfect place to take a break, slow down and rediscover the pleasure of an authentic welcome, knowing that you are supporting an ethical and cruelty-free reality. If you pass by Certaldo, give yourself a gift: stop here. Highly recommended!

16/02/2025: It is not easy to manage a historical heritage without distorting it: Erik and Eleonora succeed admirably without losing sight of creativity and experimentation. Sleeping in a 13th century monastery in the rooms that once belonged to the monks and in the morning going down a staircase to enjoy breakfast in the internal room or on the magnificent terrace is priceless! You will not be disappointed even by choosing the restaurant's proposals: the vegetable menu varies every month following the seasonality and the inventiveness of the young chef, together with the truly remarkable cocktails. For us it has become a place of the heart: returning is always a new experience where past and future blend harmoniously.
