The house is as-advertised and the location in Tuscany is ideal. We enjoyed a wonderful family holiday and thoroughly enjoyed Cortona and all that Tuscany has to offer. It was very easy to work with the owners, who are gracious. The house manager is lovely, but only speaks Italian so be prepared. Highly recommend Villa Caprile. ##### Heidi W.

The photos do a good job at depicting how pretty the house is, full of old charm and remodelled for modern living. What the pictures don’t tell is how large the house is and how truly magnificent the views are. We particularly loved the breezy pergola for meals and hanging out and the pool deck. Owner and propery manager are lovely and easy to communicate with. The location is great too, a short distance to beautiful Cortona and easy day trips to Siena and Arezzo. Our group had a fantastic time and we highly recommend this property. ##### Alexis P.

This property is all it explains to be. The stay included myself, my husband, my daughters and their families. The property is spectacular, the rooms as beautiful as shown. The guesthouse was perfect for my daughter, her husband and 2 young children. The travel cots were perfect and opening the chest of toys brought so much joy to my 2 year old granddaughter. We utilized the kitchen and pizza oven and have such wonderful memories to hold. Our only disappointment was that the pool heater was not in working order which was one of the main reason for renting this property although I must say knowing now what I do about the property I would rent again with or without the pool. ##### Michelle B.

It is very spacious and has stunning views of the Tuscan countryside and Cortona. The caretakers are very responsive to any question or request -- we just used Google Translate & WhatsApp to connect with them. It is a bit of a drive to get up to the property over gravel roads -- not a complaint, just the nature of the property -- so your car will get very dirty over time. It takes about 20 minutes to get into Cortona and park if you're headed there. Finally, there are a couple of excellent fine dining options nearby (Villa Piazzano & La Corte Dei Papi) if you want a date night away from your full group. We would definitely consider staying here again if we are in the area. ##### David T.

We found Fondo Caprile in an area we had visited before and decided that it would be the ideal place. How right we were. It certainly lived up to its photos and our expectations. Communications beforehand with the host, Mieke, were prompt and helpful. The house itself was equipped with everything you can think of (and more). It is so spacious and has such lovely grounds. We loved sitting in the outside dining area at mealtimes with its views across to Cortona, even when there was a thunderstorm on one occasion.Fondo Caprile is also well located, within an hour or so of Perugia, Assisi and Montepulciano by car with Cortona just twenty minutes away. We also took advantage of the railway service from Camucia for trips to Florence and Orvieto.We used the meal service provided by Denise (the caretaker) and her friend Lorena on 3 occasions and would not have found any better meals in the local restaurants. ##### Paul A.

The pictures don’t do it justice for how beautiful it really is. We went in June when everything was in bloom and it was a perfect vacation. We were a group of 9 friends who love to cook and loved the pizza oven and local markets. We hung out by the pool daily and went wine tasting with a driver recommended in the house book. We had dinner cooked for us in the house one night by Denise and it was amazing! We rented e-bikes and tackled the driveway (which is not for the faint of heart) but had a wonderful time exploring the area on the bikes. The hotel at the bottom of the driveway is a must visit as well! Overall the house is amazing and fully equipped for a large group who loves to cook and enjoy a beautiful pool!

Could not fault equipment and utilities in villa especially in kitchen. Felt as if we were stepping into a home rather than a rental property! Spent most evenings after meals enjoying the views from the outside dining area! As others previously mentioned the single track road leading to the villa was longer than we anticipated and at the latter end approaching villa is steep with two hairpin bends to negotiate but the view is worth it! The pool area was gorgeous even though weather was cooler than average for June and we could not make use of pool as much as we would have liked, we still enjoyed area to relax. A very enjoyable break for four generations of our family. ##### Alison R.

The house is spacious and beautifully renovated. It is furnished and decorated with a mix of old and new. I loved the brick floors. The kitchen is modern and roomy. We hired a chef one night and he was impressed with both the space and the tools for cooking. The bathrooms are a good size and modern. The beds are comfortable. The living spaces worked well for children and adults with sturdy, comfortable furniture.The pool is exceptional! The grandchildren wanted to just swim all the time. The view from the pool is impressive. The grounds are manicured with flowers blooming. The owner was easily available through the VRBO app. She generously answered all of our many questions.

There was a cabinet full of kids toys and a very well equipped kitchen with all you need. The pool was great with a retractable cover that made us feel at ease with our young kids running around. The week we were there it was very hot. The house was hot at night without using air conditioning at night. We only used it during the evenings and the bill at the end of the week was over 600 euro. We also did laundry a few times but did not use the dryer. The a/c is clearly not energy efficient. All in all we would recommend staying here just beware if you go during a hot period. The drive to Cortona was 15-20 minutes. week. ##### Karen B.

Our time at Fondo Caprile was a dream! Nestled in the Tuscan countryside, this villa exceeded our expectations & provided the perfect blend of comfort & authentic Italian charm. We were struck by the villa’s breathtaking setting, surrounded by rolling hills, lush vineyards, & olive groves. The interior of the villa was exquisite. The living room has a comfy & perfectly placed couch for lounging & conversation. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor spaces. The Tuscan Window, as we called it, was perfect for meals & views. The pool was an absolute delight, offering a refreshing escape.Just a short drive from the charming town of Cortona, we had easy access to restaurants, shops, & historical sites. The villa also served as a great base for day trips to other Tuscan gems like Assisi & Montepulciano. What truly made our stay unforgettable was the exceptional hospitality of our hosts. They went above & beyond to ensure our comfort, providing excellent recommendations for local dining & activities, & were always available to assist with any requests.They provided a thorough house book equipped with everything we needed to plan our stay. I can truly say this information shaped our trip into fabulous day trips & unforgettable meals. The combination of stunning natural beauty & outstanding hospitality created a perfect retreat. We left with wonderful memories. The villa is a true gem, & I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone seeking an unforgettable Tuscan escape. ##### Ellen B.

Everything was exactly as described and the villa is very large. We had 4 couples each in the 4 master bedrooms which are huge and very nicely separated. Be aware the road up to the villa is very challenging! This is not walking distance or walkable to anything but within 10-15 minutes to Cortona. Not a problem for us at all. Very quiet, very beautiful, fantastic location to explore Tuscany and Umbria. Very large kitchen! We had the team there prepare us all a dinner one night and it was one of our favorite meals of the entire trip. ##### Jim J.

Spacious, gracious, comfortable. Beautifully updated, but with lots of character. The views are gorgeous, the blending of indoor and outdoor space is fantastic, and it's outfitted with everything you need. Others have noted that the drive up is pretty rigorous and it is, it's definitely not for the faint of heart. But once you are there you will have no regrets. Loved our stay. ##### Alisa G.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at Villa Caprile. The property, the house, the pool, all the accommodations met or exceeded our expectations. Our children teenagers and younger felt so at home, and we all enjoyed our stay. It was so wonderful to have this home to return to after short or long day trips to some of the most amazing places and towns that are all around. The location could not have been more perfect for the trip we planned. Thank you Dianne and Antonella and all the caretakers of the property for all your care and recommendations. ##### Jennifer S.

Absolutely beautiful and the most perfect setting. Extremely well equipped. Like others, I would echo that the hairpin gravelled drive up to the house is not for the faint hearted and it was only just possible in our VW campervan. We have suggested to the owners that they mention this in the initial advertisement for the house rental, as we only received information that the drive was difficult in the house manual one week before we arrived. Apart from this, a really perfect experience. ##### Jonathan S.

From the drive up to hill to the home the first evening to the moment we departed we made such unbelievable memories at this amazing home celebrating my fathers 60th birthday. The layout of the home is perfect for a large group that included adults and small children. Our highlights were dining al fresco overlooking the spectacular sunsets while enjoying a meal prepared by expert caretaker Antonella, the many swims in the gorgeous pool we had on hot summer days and playing in the yard with my children as the sun was setting enjoying a delicious glass of local Sangiovese. Dianne was the ultimate help in planning our trip and balancing relaxing at the villa with a few unforgettable excursions and meals. Her help and guidance really made our trip and the unbelievable service of Antonella and the other amazing staff made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We already said we want to return for my Dad's 70th.... but hopefully before then! Do yourself a favor and book this beautiful villa, you will not regret it and I sit here dreaming of our stay. ##### Kelly V.

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt, selbst außerhalb der Pool-Saison. Alles ist mit viel Liebe und Sorgfalt eingerichtet. Wann immer man ein Anliegen hat, ist eine sehr liebenswerte und hilfsbereite Hausfee ganz in der Nähe gewesen. Absolut empfehlenswert! ##### Jenny M.

We were 9 people living in the villa and it was enough space for all! The Villa lies on a mountain making the driving up a bit of a challenge however once you arrived at villa Caprile it is worth it! In addition to its picturesque views, the landscaping was very well maintained, the pool was cleaned every morning, and Denise welcomed us with pleasure. The outside eating area was perfect for the nice breeze. There was fan air conditioning in every room which was a plus. Loved all the accommodations such as the speakers, TV. Very ideal location also! ##### Joe A.

We loved everything about this beautiful villa. Dianne did an amazing job restoring this home - not one detail was overlooked! The property and view is simply stunning, and we loved that it was so easy to explore the area and come home to a refreshing dip in the pool. It was VERY hot when were in Italy but always a nice breeze on top of the hill. If you are looking for privacy - you will find it here. \*Tip - use GPS coordinates. I would highly recommend this property for family gatherings - the house is very well laid out with plenty of bathrooms, and space to relax. We truly cherished our stay, and would return in a minute! ##### Jane B.

Das Objekt an sich ist in hervorragendem Zustand, die Schlafzimmer (jedes mit eigenem Bad) sind sauber und gemütlich, der Pool wird alle zwei Tage gereinigt und die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man zum Kochen so braucht. Vor allem der Pizzaofen hat es unserer Gruppe angetan, in dem wir in 3 von 7 Nächten selbstgemachte Pizza backten. Alles in allem können wir diese Villa nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen. ##### James L.
