"Great stay! This peaceful property draws you back in medieval time, both with the look and smell (we had to use to the smell though). The rooms are big and clean. A huuge TV in the living room, a pity..."

About this apartment rental

"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.

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.

Great stay! This peaceful property draws you back in medieval time, both with the look and smell (we had to use to the smell though). The rooms are big and clean. A huuge TV in the living room, a pity that the room cannot be more spacious:) The kitchen/dining room could also have been bigger, with a bit more light, but that's how old Tuscan houses look like:) We found all necessities in the kitchen and bathrooms and plenty of towels.The pool is super nice, with a relaxing area around. Thanks to Roberta and Giovanni (with Nina;)!

We stayed at this beautiful property with our two teenagers and we agreed that it was a perfect week. The property itself is incredibly unique. It has retained wonderful medieval features while embracing modern conveniences. The kitchen was well stocked so cooking lunch and dinner was very easy but equally there were lovely restaurants literally 5 minute walk away. We all enjoyed afternoon strolls for gelato and espresso macchiato. Probably our teen's favorite feature was the fantastic pool and veranda area. We obviously loved our time very much and cannot wait to return!

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!

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!
