Christmas in the villa
What a beautiful place to enjoy Christmas with family. The villa is beautiful, comfortable and has a well stocked kitchen with everything you could need. The views are amazing and we watched the New Year fireworks from the sitting room. Denise did an amazing job buying all of our groceries for our arrival. Mieke is a wonderful host - responsive and patient, answering all of our questions. We hope to come back in the summer one day.

A Lovely Italian Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. 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.

Beautiful region, fantastic house
What a place. 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.

Gorgeous property in Tuscany.
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.

Tuscany at Its Best
This Villa is well cared for and managed. It is breathtaking and represents all that is Tuscan beauty. The rooms are simple yet elegant, the kitchen is well equipped, and the pool is clean and refreshing. Our family was able to relax and enjoy the amazing view each day. I hope to be able to return again to this wonderful place.

What an excellent house to stay in! 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.

Perfect getaway for a group
Fondo Caprile is exactly as pictured and more. 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.

Unbelievable Italian countryside experience. Could not have been better! True Italian culture!
The location and accommodations are perfect for a family. Nestled in the Italian countryside providing easy access to the nearby renaissance villages, art and landscapes and the people of Italy. The accommodations that Mieke has provided will only put a smile on your face.

Tuscan Villa on the mountain
Vacationed in this villa for one week with another family. 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!

Wonderful Stay!
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!
