how to reach Il Cerretino
Il Cerretino is located in Castellina in Chianti. Close enough to the village to enjoy all the amenities and far enough away to hear only the rustling of the wind through the olive trees!
The last stretch is a short country road, typical of the Tuscan countryside. It’s easily accessible with any type of vehicle, but we recommend driving slowly.
