1 Bedroom Apartment (shared pool)

Overview

Appartamento Leonardo is a studio apartment on the ground floor looking out over the hills of the Monte Pisano with its terraces of ancient olive trees and is one of five self-contained apartments recently and lovingly restored by its owners who are passionate about the historic preservation of this Medieval building in the historic centre of Vicopisano.  This apartment has been converted from this building’s former prison cells. To stay within this Medieval-styled resort is like stepping back in time to the period of the mighty Renaissance architect and engineer Filippo Brunelleschi, who fortified this little town in the time of the Renaissance.

Appartamento Leonardo like every other self-contained apartment within this Medieval manor has retained many original features such as exposed stone walls, chestnut wood-beamed ceilings, and terracotta floor tiles. 

The apartment shares a charming outdoor space close to the pool which is an absolute treasure to find in the heart of a Medieval centre. Each apartment has its own dedicated sun loungers and sun umbrella as well as a personal cell phone charger point. There is also a large communal terrace for al fresco dining with enough tables and chairs for each apartment.  In addition, there is also a large communal kitchen close to the pool terrace where we can organize cooking experiences and private parties.  To stay at one of the apartments of the Medieval manor is like living with history – each room had a purpose in its Medieval heyday which history lovers will adore!
