Appartamento Filippo at the Medieval Fortress resort

My wife and I loved the apartment and the communication from Camilla and Roberta was fantastic. They were so kind and helpful at all times. The apartment is situated within a thoughtfully and sensitively restored medieval property in a very central location and within a 30 minute drive to Pisa and Lucca. We had access to a fantastic pool and relaxing area that we used every day to sunbathe on our allocated sunbeds, table and chairs. The sunbeds even had USB charging points. The people in the other 4 apartments were all lovely and we all got to know each other and spent time together in the poolside area and in the shared kitchen (you also have your private kitchen too). The building is stunning and I noticed that many passers-by also stopped to take a look at the building. I would advise using a car so you can take day trips to vineyards, historic areas like San Gimignano or Siena. Car parking is free of charge too. There are restaurants, a bakery, a few small shops, and well kept streets to walk through in Vicopisano and access to buses that pass through the town. The air conditioning works great too! There were no negatives for us and I hope you also enjoy your stay here.

Beautiful apartment and excellent location and service from the team

The location is excellent. The host was welcoming, the apartment was pre-air conditioned, everything was great. The terrace area including the pool is a dream. We will definitely be back. Bye

The best!
