On the Hills Pisa-Lucca, Poetic Villa Salt Pool, Pace, Nature, poetry

POESIA BELVEDERE, exclusive swimming pool, with salt water.
Ancient watchtower, dating back to the fifteenth century, then transformed into a farmhouse by the barons Silvatici, is located on the slopes of the Monti Pisani 3 km from the center of the beautiful medieval town of Vicopisano. It is said that this house Leonardo da Vinci, an admirer of Brunelleschi, has designed the impregnable fortress of Vicopisano in a framework that is exhibited in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, a copy of which is visible in our suite.
POESIA BELVEDERE is located at a height of 180 m.s.l.m. and it surrounded by olive groves and woods (more than 170,000 square meters). The particular location where is protects it from harsh winters or very hot summers and is an ideal starting point for lovers of hiking and mountain biking. For horse lovers can participate in organized lovely horse riding in a nearby riding.

Not far from the confines of our property is only 10 'walk brings you to the beautiful church of San Jacopo, set in the valley of the same name. It was built in the Lombard period (VIII century) and was originally dedicated to St. Mamiliano, as yet the inscription inscribed on the main portal.

Also for walkers in 40 'you can rise to over 500 meters above sea level The visiting Verruca Fortress located on its namesake mountain and overlooks and dominates the Pisan plain and the river Arno. Its strategic location has always made a valuable support for the safety of Pisa, in the centuries engaged in bloody struggles against the Florentines: the rock allowed a visual triangulation between Pisa and the castle of Vicopisano, in turn connected with the castle of Buti and all Lungomonte Pisa.

POESIA BELVEDERE is located 14 'from the railway station of Pontedera, 25' from the airport and train station 23Km Pisa and the Leaning Tower, 23 km from Lucca, 65 km from Florence, 90 km from Siena, 45 km from Volterra, 30 km from Montecatini Terme, 50 km from San Gimignano, 45 'from Forte dei Marmi, 35' from the beautiful cliffs of Livorno and 25 km from the beautiful beach of Marina di Vecchiano.

POESIA BELVEDERE being located in the south east of Monti Pisani and being at a height of 180 meters above sea level is a convenient starting point to an area, it probably already inhabited in Etruscan times, through paths that wind among oaks, chestnut trees and pine trees and crossing towns rich in history, art and culture. You can choose more difficult routes and suggestive or simpler and less tiring. The pool of 3x12meters exclusive, with salt water, covered and uncovered, large terraces on which to sunbathe, the olive grove and the shadow of the forest, the calm, the silence and peace around the house surround this place, make it unique and give it poetically one unforgettable charm.

INCREDIBLE HOME AND OWNERS
We have travelled all over much of the world over the last 40 years. We can honestly state that this villa was exquisite and furnished beautifully with many antiques. The view on top of the mount was breathtaking. The owners, Antonio and Silvia are unquestionably the finest, dearest owners we have ever met. They could not do enough for us and at the end of our one month stay with them felt like family. .upon leaving, we hugged and kissed with affection knowing we would miss each other. We cannot recommend Antonio and Silvia and their beautiful villa more enthusiatically.

I had very pleasant experience
Everything was wonderful. The house is beautiful and I felt it was a dream every time I stood on the terrace and looked down at the town. We we surrounded by olive trees and beautiful flowers that released amazing smells, especially jasmine, which happens to be one of my favorite. Stepping into the house was like traveling back in time with exquisite architecture and decor. It rained while we were there and we were lucky to see the breathtaking waterfall on the side of the driveway leading up to the house. The owners, Antonio and Silvia were delightful. They provided us with local events and suggestions. We visited a little town called Monte Carlo thanks to Antonio and had a wonderful time. This experience is unforgettable. Thank you Antonio and Silvia for your beautiful home and hospitality.

Lovely retreat in the hills!
We fell in love with Vicopisano, and Antonio and his wife were very gracious during our stay. The views are amazing! The beds were comfortable, too. Our son had a great time swimming in the pool. Be sure to bring your own bottled water and all will be well. Thank you for a lovely time!

Beautiful Villa, not pet free
This is a very beautiful villa, in a beautiful setting. I would caution that this residence is not pet free, a member of our party is allergic to cats and dogs and clearly had trouble breathing while in the house.

Wonderful hosts
The warmth and hospitality of Antonio and Sylvia made our stay very special. They were always very solicitous of our needs. The pool was also a highlight, as well as the views and the billiard table. Mariant helped us with the booking; always in a timely manner. We were only there three days so didn't get to explore the area as much as we would have liked. Our only complaints were the comfort of the house which is understandable considering it's age and history. The beds are quite firm, and there are fans, but no air conditioning in most rooms. The water is not potable but Sylvia gave us bottled water. It was a unique and enjoyable stay for my family.

Authentic B&B in the beautiful Tuscan hills
Our group of four stayed here for six nights in late May/early June. The house is in a beautiful location high in the hills above Vicopisano. The property feels secluded and the views are breathtaking. The town of Vicopisano is charming, and we had excellent meals at Osteria Vecchia Posta, Aurora Taverna, and Torre Pizza. Antonio and Sylvia were lovely- they are the heart and soul of the B&B experience here. The home is very much an extension of their personalities and experiences, it is more like staying with a relative than staying in a typical rental property. They were friendly, attentive, and very helpful. Sylvia prepared breakfast for us the first day, and provided what was necessary for us to make breakfast ourselves on the remaining days - fruit, yogurt, cereal, coffee, and bread items. They came in and washed all the dishes in the morning after we had left for the day, which was very nice. The pool area was lovely and we enjoyed one sunny afternoon there, most of the other days it was a little too cold. After our first night, we let Sylvia know that two of the mattresses were very uncomfortable- they actually replaced both mattresses with new firm mattresses the next day! This is beyond what I would expect of a host in a rental property, and it was very much appreciated. .As I said earlier, the house is very authentic and personal, and it is full of art, furniture, books, and many decor items. While we enjoyed this in the general living and dining areas, it could be a challenge in the bedrooms and bathrooms, as there were not many available surfaces where we could put our own things. We did temporarily move some items, but I was always a little worried about breaking something or disturbing the order of the decorations. Overall, our stay was a great experience. If you are looking for an authentic, personal, and memorable stay in the Tuscan countryside, this may be the place for you. You certainly will not find hosts who are more kind and pleasant than Sylvia and Antonio.

Magical experience
We stayed at Antonio and Silvia’s villa for 6 nights in September, what an amazing experience. From our first contact with the property manager, Mariant, until our return home, communication was great and Mariant provided us with some timely and very useful information. Unfortunately, the coordinates provided to us for the GPS did not work on our Garmin; nor the van’s GPS and we required the services of the local librarian in Vicopisano to contact Antonio to get the exact directions to the villa. Once we found the place, up a very lengthy and steep hill, we knew it would be special. The first night was magical! We took advantage of Silvia’s cooking on our first and also on the last night and we could not have been happier. We had dinner prepared outside in the dining area overlooking the Tuscan hills, with music and light, we felt like stars! The meal cooked by Silvia and served by Antonio was typical of the Tuscan cuisine and wine region. On our first night we got addicted to Italian coffee……..with a special touch of Sambuca! Antonio and Silvia provided us with a bevy of information about the area, giving us some tips on local attractions and some great places to visit that we had never heard of before. We only spent one full day at the villa, by the pool, and we wished we could have spent more time but there were so many places to go! I believe the villa was built around the 15th century but it had all the modern amenities. We were 3 couples and we each had our own private bedrooms and bathrooms. The beds were not the most comfortable ones, but who cares, you are in Tuscany!!!! The dining room was picture perfect, a traditional Tuscan home with beautiful and unique paintings. While we didn’t use too much of the kitchen, it had all you needed. We had breakfast prepared each day for us by Silvia at the dining table on the outdoor patio, depending on weather, what a way to start your day! Antonio and Silvia are such a lovely and caring couple, they are the most honest and sincere people you could meet. They went above and beyond to ensure that our Tuscan holiday was unforgettable. Their love for each other was evident and they made us feel special. Thank you so much Antonio and Silvia for sharing your lovely home with us. The six of us will never forget your hospitality and we will make sure we spread the word to all our friends and family. Until we meet again…….
