Overview
Il Fortino – Appartamento Lorenzo is a two-bedroom apartment on the ground floor looking out over the internal garden and swimming pool 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 the former stables.
To stay within Il Fortino – is like stepping back in time. Il Fortino was once a small fortress with Roman and Medieval origins however it was modified during the Renaissance period by none other than the famous architect and engineer Filippo Brunelleschi.
Appartamento Lorenzo, like every other self-contained apartment within this small Medieval fortress , 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 at the pool. There is a private terrace for al fresco dining. In addition, there is also a large communal kitchen close to the pool terrace where we can organise cooking experiences and private parties. To stay at one of the apartments of Il Fortino is like living with history – each room had a purpose in its Medieval and Renaissance heyday which history lovers will adore!
