Appartamento Dante - located in Medieval forttress

OVERVIEW

HISTORIC CENTRE - VICOPISANO

Appartamento Dante Charming is one of 5 apartments located in a 12th Century Fortress in the historic centre of Vicopisano. Ideal for small family or a small group of friends.

To stay within this Medieval-styled resort ‘Il Fortino’ is like stepping back in time to the period of the mighty Renaissance architect and engineer Filippo Brunelleschi, who fortified this little town during the 15th Century. It’s hard to believe that this comfortable characteristic apartment with modern amenities such as Wi-Fi and air conditioning was once a small barn and kitchen coop within the original fortress complex.

The apartment has its own independent entrance and shares a pool and gardens with 4 other apartments. There is also a communal kitchen on the ground floor close to the pool and sundeck where you will have the use of a second fridge and freezer so you can keep your beers and wine cool while relaxing by the pool. We are also able to organise Tuscan cooking experiences in this space.
