Apt. THE CAPTAIN - "Brunelleschi Manor" Medieval Apartments Resort

"IL CAPITANO" APARTMENT

The large apartment, on two floors, the 1st - living area - and the 2nd - sleeping area - can accommodate up to 8 people: it is located in the main building of the MANIERO and its name derives from its historic function, that is that of being, in the Middle Ages, the residence of the Captain guarding the fort.
The apartment is accessed through a beautiful door in Tuscan cypress all the doors are equipped with ancient medieval locks whose mechanics will enchant you just looking at them. We strongly wanted to restore not only the ancient structures and medieval environments that characterize the wonderful architecture of the MANIERO DEL BRUNELLESCHI but above all the medieval and typical Tuscan way of life: take your time to open the great cypress doors with ancient wrought iron keys without thinking about the "security code" if not your intelligence!

The apartment is divided into a living area on the 1st floor comprising: LIVING ROOM, KITCHEN and BATHROOM while in the sleeping area, located on the 2nd floor and connected by stairs, we find the CAPTAIN ROOM, LIEUTENANT ROOM and LARGE QUADRUPLE ROOM.

LIVING ROOM
The entrance and the living room are environments of particular brightness given the large windows that give onto the CORTE and the TUSCAN GARDEN: the comfortable leather sofa is the master in the living area with a TV corner on antique sideboard. Details of Tuscan charms are the old glass cabinet with a porcelain tea collection and the old fireplace which has now become an element of decoration that evokes the classic Tuscan “focarile”: the environment is extremely warm and welcoming and embellished with prints age of Tuscan cities.

KITCHEN
Entering the Captain's kitchen is like living a dream, the true medieval experience: the exposed stone walls illuminated by a large medieval chandelier, the built-in kitchen with a large antique extractor hood and Tuscan majolica in antique ocher, the collection antique copper of MANIERO, the old chestnut corner unit the large extendable Tuscan style table that will host you in your dinners, the enchanting view from the kitchen of the window on the Tower of the Four Doors.

*** The Tuscan rustic masonry kitchen is composed of a grit sink, a large counter top recreated in the old manger and an induction hob: the refrigerator and the dishwasher are located in the wooden recesses of the kitchen where you will also find pots , microwave, kettle, toaster and everything you need to prepare a beautiful Tuscan dinner!***

BATHROOM at the service of the LIVING AREA: The bathroom, completely covered with Tuscan majolica from Impruneta, serves the living area and offers a large shower, toilet, bidet and a typical stone sink on a local olive table resting on an old machine. to sew.

The beautiful canopy bed in antique spruce with precious curtains has as a background the supporting wall of the fort, completely restored with the old original exposed stones: at the foot of the bed an antique vintage trunk and the wardrobe finish the room illuminated with a suggestive medieval chandelier.

FAMILY ROOM
Large central room with triple window, Tuscan terracotta floors from Impruneta, with two large bunk beds for a total of 4 single beds big size 195cm x 85cm all made of antique fir, with a medieval security system. The rustic Tuscan piece of furniture, equipped with satellite and cable TV, also offers a bar fridge to serve the entire sleeping area.

LIEUTENANT CHAMBER
Independent room located on the beautiful background of the fortification walls: with a double window on the sides, the room enjoys great brightness with a view of both the internal courtyard of the manor and the private pool and surrounding walls .. for a truly unique awakening and suggestive! The large four-poster bed in antique spruce in the center of the room with curtains is finely embellished by the antique wardrobe and chest of drawers: finally, the detail of the suitcase as a decorative element gives an unmistakable charm in the environment.

BATHROOM for the NIGHT AREA: The bathroom, completely covered with Tuscan Impruneta tiles, serves the living area and offers a large shower, a toilet, a bidet and a typical stone sink on a local olive table that rests on an old machine. to sew.

Absolutely fantastic!
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!

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

Unique and absolutely amazing
The pictures on the listing can not begin to show how wonderful this place is - the mix of a historic, medieval buildings with all the old touches, blended with so many modern conveniences made it the absolute best VRBO I’ve ever seen! Camillia was thorough in greeting us and explaining everything, and so responsive to our inquiries - it was truly a “home away from home.” We would be delighted to stay there again, and can not recommend it highly enough!

very good place to stay in tuscany
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 friendy and helpful! The location is special! It was an amazing week! Thanks a lot!

Perfect voor een vakantie in Toscane
Het appartement bevindt zich midden in het middeleeuwse deel van Vicopisano. We werden zeer prettig ontvangen en opgenomen in de familie. De eigenaren zijn zeer behulpzaam en je kan altijd met vragen terecht. Het pand zelf is echt historisch maar volledig gerestaureerd en voorzien van alle gemakken van deze tijd. Perfect voor een vakantie in Toscane.

Ein Urlaub, bei dem kein Wunsch offen geblieben ist
Vielen lieben Dank für die tolle Zeit, die wir bei Euch haben durften. Die Unterkunft war wirklich herausragend - in jedem Detail haben wir die Liebe gesehen, mit der das Brunelleschi Manor hergerichtet wurde. Der Service war ebenfalls hervorragend: sauberes Pool, Wechsel von Bettwäsche und Handtüchern, Müllentsorgung und vieles mehr. Jegliche Fragen nach Ausflügen, Ideen, passenden Anbietern (z.B. Vesperverleih) von wurden mit viel Engagement beantwortet. Das Team - allen voran Camilla und Gio - hat wirklich alles gegeben, um uns einen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt zu bereiten. Und bei allen Sprachbarrieren fehlte niemals ein nettes Wort oder eine Geste der Aufmerksamkeit. Der Ort Vicopisano, das Brunelleschi Manor, das Pool und nicht zuletzt der herausragende Service haben diesen Urlaub zu einem rundum perfekten Urlaub gemacht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und toll erholt. Vielen Dank für alles.

Traumurlaub
In dieser umsichtig und sehr geschmackvoll sanierten, geschichtsträchtigen Unterkunft, konnten wir uns wunderbar entspannen. Der außergewöhnlich schöne Pool lädt nicht nur Kinder zum stundenlangen Verweilen ein. Einfach herrlich, hinter geschützten Stadtmauern dabei zuzusehen, zu lesen oder einfach nur zu träumen. Brunelleschi Manor verlässt man mit dem Gefühl, einen Luxusurlaub verbracht zu haben, ganz ohne gängige Klischees. Der Gastgeber und sein Team sind an Herzlichkeit nicht zu überbieten. Vicopisano selbst ist ein Kleinod mit wenig, aber zauberhafter Gastronomie, Infrastruktur, Kultur und einer interessanten Geschichte. Zudem ein hervorragender Ausgangspunkt für Tagesausflüge in die Region. Wir würden wieder kommen.
