Casa Lionardo

Just a few hundred metres from Leonardo da Vinci’s birthplace lies Casa Lionardo, a truly special holiday home with a rich past. Built in 1890 as the village school, it originally housed classrooms on the ground floor and the teacher’s quarters above. Its distinctive architecture has been carefully preserved and tastefully modernised. Today, the house offers space for a small family or two couples looking to explore this iconic part of Tuscany. The space Located on the peaceful edge of Vinci, the house enjoys a rural setting with views of vineyards, olive groves and the village itself. The centre of Vinci, with its Leonardo Museum, restaurants and shops, is just five minutes away by car. Nearby, places like Cerreto Guidi with the Villa Medici or Monsummano Terme with its famous hot springs offer great excursions. Florence, Lucca, Pisa and the coast can all be reached in under an hour. Outside, guests can relax on a shaded dining terrace under a pergola, in the well-kept garden or by the pool, perfect for a refreshing dip on hot summer days. The cream-coloured villa sits on a quiet country road and opens up to stunning views of Vinci. The two-storey house is full of character, featuring very high vaulted brick ceilings on the ground floor that recall its former life as a school. Original terracotta floors and exposed wooden beams on the upper floor have been carefully restored. Antique and modern furnishings are combined throughout to create a warm and stylish atmosphere with authentic Tuscan flair.
