Neighborhood

To visit Vicopisano is like stepping back in time with hidden lanes and ancient piazzas revealing Medieval tower houses and terraced gardens. In the centre of the village perched on a hill is the Medieval fortress and watchtower designed by the Renaissance master architect Filippo Brunelleschi.

For a small fee the fortress is open to visitors at the weekends. In addition to Medieval ruins and a characteristic historic centre, Vicopisano is still an authentic working town inhabited by local families.

This is a place to sip a cappuccino with a local and watch the world go by at one of the village bars. Visitors will love to shop in a small village store or at the weekly farmer’s market. Fresh bread can be bought daily from the baker and a gelato (ice cream) shop serves artisan ice cream. Nature lovers will love the countryside walks and dedicated cycle tracks which wind around the foothills of the Monte Pisano just a short stroll from the village centre.

Vicopisano is known for it's many festivals and events throughout the year and is ideally located for visiting the cities of Pisa, Lucca, Florence, the wine regions and coastal areas.
