Anise

Anise is the ideal stay type for those who look for convenience, without renouncing to style and good taste.

 

The dry anise, very fragrant and mainly for food use, finds its main development in the Tuscan area. In particular, the green anise naturally grows among the green Tuscan hills, together with vineyards that produce Chianti wines, with the olive trees, with the sunflowers and other cultivations, thanks to the good temperatures that rarely go under zero degrees Celsius. The green anise requires sun exposition and fields with mixed composition. Even in some places of Hotel Certaldo's large garden, along the Elsa river, there are some Anise plants… could it be the reason why, a stay typology at Hotel Certaldo is called Anise?
