OVERIVEW
Located in a restored Medieval Fortress 
Appartamento Galileo is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment on two floors 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 was originally the Captain's quarters within the Medieval fortress and it's layout remains the same as in times gone by.  On the first floor you will find a  living room, kitchen and one bathroom.  One flight of ancient stone stairs  takes you to the next floor where will find 3 bedrooms and an additional bathroom. 
Appartamento Galileo, 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 and pool which is an absolute treasure to find in the heart of a Medieval centre. The apartment has its own dedicated sun loungers and sun umbrella as well as a personal cell phone charger point next to the pool. 
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 organise cooking experiences and private parties.

Appartmento Galileo - In Medieval Resort

Very spacious and unique -- an amazing blend of authentic/ancient, but with all the conveniences. Camila met us there and walked us through, explaining some of the traditional/historical features, while pointing out the free access to laundry facilities. There were phone charging ports in the nightstands, power converters in bureau drawers. All in a medieval fortress! Kitchen was well-appointed, and we enjoyed making our own espresso in the mornings. Vicopisano is a lovely place to stay. Extremely picturesque and interesting to wander, very quiet and peaceful. It's also a great location for daytrips -- less than an hour to Florence, half an hour to Pisa and Lucca. We did a truffle-hunting outing in San Miniato (about half an hour away). Had planned to do a daytrip to Cinque Terre, but ended up with rental car problems and lost that day. Easy access to many other Tuscan hill towns. The historical center of Vicopisano is small, but we very much enjoyed the restaurants, the sandwich shop, the pastry shop, the gelato shop. All of which are a short walk from the apartment. Likewise, we visited the Frantoia just outside Vicopisano, which has a shop with a lot of nice local products to buy. This is a family business, and the family is very proud of their work, and treats renters as guests. They were tremendously helpful and kind when we had car problems. All in all -- a perfect stay. Would've liked to be here for 2 weeks, instead of our 5 nights :-)

An absolute gem -- great place to stay, in a great location, with great service/support

Traditional styled apartment with modern appliances and everything necessary for a good stay. Lovely pool and courtyard. Vicopisano is an ideal mix of authentic historic village with good restaurants and amenities.

Cozy Apartment in Vicopisano with Pool and Modern Amenities

The owners couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. They were on site everyday and we had mobile contact via Whatsapp prior to our stay and throughout. The area is lovely, the pool perfect, and the property is exactly as listed and photographed on the property website. We had such a great time and will definitely return next year!

Absolutely fantastic!

We loved this place: in the heat of August you can stay at the lovely pool, you can go to visit for example Lucca, go to a beach near Livorno or make a wine tasting in this area. The other guests have been nice and we had entertaining and interesting evenings together. And the host (Camilla) was very friendly and helpful! The location is special! It was an amazing week! Thanks a lot!
