Letter to all tourists

Dear Guest,

This letter is to inform you that as of April 1st 2012, we have introduced a tourist levy, as described in legislative decree n.23/2011 on municipal federalism, throughout the borough of Certaldo.

Certaldo is a city which has always made the protection and enhancement of its cultural and environmental heritage the central focus of the attractions offered in the area and put them at the heart of its capacity to welcome visitors.

It is for this very reason that I am now asking you to pay the levy. Thanks to your contribution, we will be better able to meet the costs and effort necessary to guarantee the quality of the services and resources that we try to offer to those who choose to spend a few days here with us.  

We will be happy to host you again whenever you choose and for now I personally thank you for coming, as well as for having contributed to the conservation of our borough and to enhancing the experience we can offer tourists.

I wish you a very pleasant stay in Certaldo.

Best regards

    THE MAYOR
