STEP BACK IN TIME
To visit the historic centre of Vicopisano is like stepping back in time with its Medieval Towers, cobbled pathways, and hidden lanes. Situated away from the more beaten tracks of Tuscany but close enough to visit its famous sites, Vicopisano is a place where you will witness a more authentic Tuscany.
CHARM AND HISTORIC MONUMENTS
Today’s visitors can witness many Medieval Towers and Tower Houses as well as a Medieval masterpiece designed by the Renaissance engineer Filippo Brunelleschi. Brunelleschi was responsible for fortifying the whole village back in the Middle Ages and today visitors can enjoy a guided tour of the impressive Medieval fortress and watchtower.
WALKING DISTANCE TO BARS; RESTAURANTS AND SHOPS
A stay at Casa Colomba means you may dine Al Fresco at a nearby hilltop restaurant, or relax at a local bar with an Aperol Spritz or chilled Prosecco. Your all-time favourite pizza is just a walk away! The small town offers 2 Pizzerias, 3 restaurants, 3 bars, 2 weekly markets, a mini-market, a bakery, butchers, a pharmacy, and a bank all within a walk away!
NATURE TRAILS, CYCLE TRACKS, AND WALKS
Vicopisano lies at the foothills of the Monte Pisano surrounded by a beautiful landscape of pine-covered hills and olive groves and offers the perfect environment where you can hike, bike or ramble. Horse riders will find a stable just a fifteen-minute walk away along with a dedicated cycle track that winds its way around the foot of the hills.
FESTIVALS AND EVENTS
From the spectacular Medieval festival during the first weekend in September to the regular antique and collector’s fair every second Sunday of the month. Vicopisano has become infamous for its events and festivals, including a walking festival, and flower festival in May a bike and tasting festival in June, and a Rock and roll event in July!
PISA with its famous leaning tower is just a short 25-minute drive or a local bus ride away (55 minutes).
LUCCA the medieval walled city and Puccini's birthplace is just a 30-minute drive away. Or 2 buses from the village
FLORENCE with its famous monuments and museums can be reached in a 45-minute train journey. We recommend getting the train from Pontedera – 15 15-minute drive or local bus
Many of our guests also visit Leonardo da Vinci's birthplace - Vinci, Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena, the wine region, and coastal towns.
A car is recommended to get the most out of your stay but many guests who are staying for a week or more find plenty of time to visit the sites and region by public transport.
自我介绍
Originally from the UK, I moved to Italy in 1999 and settled in the area of Tuscany with husband Lorenzo in 2001. Lorenzo is originally from Turin and graduated in hotel management and catering and has worked in prestigious hotels throughout Europe. He primarily worked as head barman, so if you are looking to learn how to make the perfect Martini or Negroni, he's your man! I recently hung up my wings after 20 years of flying the world with a leading British airline as cabin crew. Due to my training and experiences I have come to learn the needs of the traveler and how attentive customer service can enhance a guest's experience. THE BIRTH OF CASA COLOMBA It started with the purchase of a Medieval tower house in the centre of Vicopisano in 2007…. Then came the painstaking and loving restoration of each of its floors including the 12th Century tower room…. As with many historic restoration projects the budget ran out before the project was finished!….. To inject some more income into the project, the top floor of our new home became an overnight vacation rental….. We took some photos and posted our details on the web…… Within 24 hours we had received four enquiries and hence our journey began. Our little village soon had a steady stream of visitors from overseas and both our guests and the locals were loving it…. Our guests loved the idea of staying in an historic building full of character as well as enjoying the authenticity of the local area.. Before we knew it the local residents where asking if they could open their homes to visitors and share with them the traditions of their village. We liked the idea and since then we are now managing 10 properties throughout the village. WHAT WE LIKE Lorenzo and I both like socialising, good food, chilled prosecco, jazz and soul music, days at the beach, walks in the country, cooking and of course travelling. We don't tend to travel too far because we love Tuscany and Italy although we nearly always holiday in Greece. OUR GUESTS We always say we have the best guests ever!.... and we really do mean that. We've met people form all over the world and everyone has a story. Of course we always respect our guests privacy but if you want to chat over a glass of Prosecco in the bar next door - we'll be there! We love to socialise with our guests but unfortunately we don't always have the time. We enjoying sharing our local knowledge and introducing you to the local artisans, food producers and characters. See Casa Colomba Face book page for an insight of how our guests enjoy a more authentic Tuscany filled with wonderful experiences. LIFE MOTTO I think it's got to be Aristotle's - Happiness depends on ourselves!
