Perfect Location

We had such a lovely stay in Vicopisano! Marie and Lorenzo have put together tons of information about where to go and what to do in the area. We had the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. The apartment was wonderful and looks exactly like the pictures. It was the perfect location for our excursions around Tuscany. We rented a car out of Florence and found the driving in the area to be very easy. We wish we could have stayed longer and cannot wait to be back!

An authentice Tuscan experience!

Staying at Casa Columba was like stepping back in time with all the modern conveniences. Our hosts, Marie and Lorenzo were very friendly and welcoming and provided helpful information of what to do and see. The house was furnished beautifully and the welcome basket was so nice after a long day of travel. I would highly recommend staying in this intriguing and unique 12th Century Tower... you'll definitely get a true Tuscan Experience!!

Home Base to all of Tuscany

Spent 4 nights at Casa Colomba, couldn't have ask for a better host in Marie or a better location in Vicopisano for visiting the varied and beautiful Tuscan communities. Pisa, Lucca, Cinque Terre, Volterra all unique and exquisite in their own ways. Don't miss time in Vicopisano itself. The restaurants are great, wonderful bakery, and the weekend tower tour is worth the effort to look down on the town and miles into the rolling countryside. This place is everything you are building up Tuscany to be in your mind , don't miss it.

Special

I am very selective when it comes to choosing places to stay for a vacation. I chose this vacation rental based on previous reviews and photos and this place exceeded my expectations. Read all the other reviews and believe them. I would also take Marie's recommendations while you are there, they are spot on. We did alot on this vacation, Venice and Munich were highlights, but our time here was most memorable and special, more so than Paris or Florence. You will also find 2 great hosts, you will fall in love with Marie, she was so kind and gracious. Can't wait to visit again.

Over the top!

This place is over the top lovely!! Marie and Lorenzo are also so gracious and helpful. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer. I definitely recommend Casa Colomba to anyone who wants to stay in a beautiful Tuscan village in the perfect location between Pisa and Florence. I walked around the village for hours one day and never got tired of the sites. Then got to return to my perfectly well appointed traditional Tuscan apartment. The photos of this place do not do it justice, it's far lovelier in person. I have to commend Marie and Lorenzo for the perfect mix of modern conviences and traditional Tuscan design.

Amazing property, amazing romantic vacation spot

This is one of the best vacations we have taken. It started with the prosecco waiting for us when we arrived in this romantic 11th century tower with a wonderful comfy bed but also had everything one would want in our modern world. Marie and Lorenzo were amazing hosts who were there at any time for any questions we needed and helped organize our sightseeing plans so we would see everything we wanted but also had tips on things we didn’t think of and so glad we saw thanks to Marie and she also organized our favorite part of the trip a Tuscan cooking class with our 2 children and olive oil tasting. This truly was a once in a lifetime Italian experience that we will always remember and a must for anyone visiting. You will not be disappointed! Can’t wait to come back again soon

Exquisite, authentic, memorable with excellent hosts!

My husband and I visited Casa Colomba, in Vicopisano, Tuscany, in April 2018 on our first visit to Tuscany. Casa Colomba was perfect. It truly is an authentic experience. The stone walls, wooden beams, quaint kitchen, and relaxing loggia were beautiful. It was very spacious inside, with a large living area, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and loggia. The town itself was very special, and we enjoyed walking the streets and pathways around the village. We felt as if we were the only tourists there! Marie and Lorenzo were delightful hosts, there when we needed something but not intrusive at all. There were restaurants, a market, and bars within walking distance. If you are looking for a stay in authentic Tuscany you cannot go wrong with Casa Colomba!

Beautiful apartment, wonderful hosts, lovely quirky town, cappuccino, pastries, and prosecco!

First, I'd like to echo all the wonderful reviews that I've read - everything was wonderful! Now, what is the one piece of advice I had before I arrived? Marie can escort you on a trip to visit the local olive plantation and press. They have a little shop at the farm where the sell sangiovese (chianti grapes grown outside of the chianti region) wine, made locally with grapes grown on the farm. It's delicious! My wife and I were constantly running out of wine, and while we fell in love with the young checkout lady at the grocery store after our daily visits, the local sangiovese is incredible - not to be missed!

Tuscany with Style

Marie & Lorenzo were amazing. They could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We felt like we had known them for ever. The accommodation was amazing - well appointed and spacious. The information provided was extensive and we needed more time to embrace it all. The experience was what we wanted, staying in a small Tuscany village relatively untouched by tourists. Shopping in the local village was fun and a great experience with little English spoken. Great location close to Pisa, Florence and other attractions. We travelled to Pisa and did Marie's walking tour. It made the day about more Pisa than just the leaning tower. Our experience was first class and we would definitely stay here again.

Great little place and town

Marie was such a friendly host and the walk around the little town with her when we arrived was the perfect way to start our 5 night stay there. The place is a good mix of old town charm and modern convenience. Little coffee shop was open early to get coffee and the country roads were a great place to go for a run in the morning. We drove to the coast and took the train to Cinque Terra to explore. It was a good base away from the crowds but close enough to get everywhere. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay in Vicopisano

I have wanted to stay at Casa Colomba for 2 years! My dream came true and it did not disappoint. Marie and Lorenzo are wonderful hosts. She is there to give you wonderful suggestions and to help book your excursions. The accommodations were great. The town is right out of the history books. We plan on returning again.

Top Ferienziel - immer wieder gerne

Marie und Lorenzo sind mit die freundlichsten Vermieter, die wir jemals in einem Urlaub hatten. Sie standen uns regelmäßig mit tollen Tipps und Vorschlägen zur Seite, waren dabei jedoch immer sehr diskret. Die Wohnung selbst ist wirklich sehr schön eingerichtet und ausreichend sauber. Wir haben dort 7 Nächte verbracht und die Wohnung wirklich sehr lieb gewonnen. Der einzige Nachteil ist die fehlende Klimaanlage, die in dem historischen Gebäude jedoch wohl auch nicht angebracht werden darf. Wir wussten jedoch, worauf wir uns einließen und unsere Gastgeber haben ausreichend viele Ventilatoren bereitgestellt. Das allerbeste ist jedoch wohl der Ort selber, der historisch, kulinarisch und bezüglich des Stadtbildes unglaublich viel zu bieten hat. Wir würden dort immer wieder Urlaub machen und können das Apartment von Marie und Lorenzo 100% empfehlen.

Charming place, but many steps & hot in August

Marie is a force of nature and a natural host. We had the apartment under the roof, ~30 steps and the buzzer for ground-floor door was broken. In August, it gets hot and you need to close windows because of mosquitoes (which also attacked in garden). Place must be wonderful in spring or autumn.

It's not everyday that I get to stay at a property like this, which made for a memorable experience. Vicopisano is a lovely little town that has just enough going on for the times that you want to stay local, but is perfectly located for day trips in the Tuscan region when you want to explore.

Aufenthalt im August 2019

Sehr, sehr nette und hilfsbereite Vermieterin, sodass es mir auch etwas schwer fällt, etwas Negatives aufzuführen. Die Wohnung ist wirklich genauso schön wie im Inserat abgebildet. Allerdings ist sie auf Grund fehlender Klimaanlage sehr warm. Des Weiteren ist sie etwas dunkel, sodass man schon morgens früh in der Küche Licht anmachen muss, welches nicht gerade gemütlich ist. Außerdem ist der Wasserdruck im Badezimmer ziemlich gering, sodass das Duschen etwas unangenehm ist. Als letztes sollte man noch wissen, dass man den Garten nicht nur ums Haus sondern um einen ganzen Häuserbock erreichen kann. Trotzdem war es alles in allem ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt!
