Villa Caprera
Stayed the first week of October 2024. We had a very busy schedule so didn’t get to meet our host Simona but we communicated very well via What’s app. The villa is really beautiful, very convenient to Siena and the rest of Tuscany. Hertz rented us too large of an SUV, parking spaces around Tuscany are really really tiny. Also do some research beforehand regarding driving in Italy, it really paid off for us. The Salumeria is very close to the villa and Conad supermarket is a short drive away. Overall very satisfied with this property and Simona was a wonderful host.

Wonderful place to stay in Siena
Lovely place to stay in Siena. The apartment was immaculate, with a beautiful aesthetic. The kitchen was stocked with all the kitchen supplies of cookware, serving utensils and silverware that you would ever need. The gardens and views were spectacular. The owner, Simona was accessible when needed, along with a wonderful property manager who helped us with the appliance directions and original check-in. It took less about 5 minutes from the apartment to the town of Siena that we frequented most days and many evenings for dinner. I highly recommend.

Great Place to Relax
Our party of 5 stayed here recently (ages 14-75) and thoroughly enjoyed the peace this location brought to us. The apartment is quirky, charming and well kept. We loved that we were close to so many places we wanted to visit but far enough away from the crowds. I would have given this place 5 stars except for a couple of little things - the apartment itself is on the upper floor. I was under the impression the entrance was on the ground floor. Nowhere in the listing does it state the apartment is on an upper floor. Had I known this, I would have looked for a different place. My mother in law does not do so well on stairs, so she was unable to enjoy the gardens. Also to note, one of the rooms has a ceiling so low that if you are taller than 5’3”, you probably wouldn’t be comfortable going in and out of. Definitely not for someone tall. It worked perfectly for our teenagers, though!

A spectacular Tuscan Holiday Home
Our family of 5 lives in 3 different countries and chose Siena as a meeting place after travel was permitted due to COVID. Villa Caprera was ideal for providing wonderful upscale accommodation, mixing the modern with the old. Our apartment was clean and provided luxury in bed linens, beds, pillows, cooking and tableware. The views are absolutely incredible. We were in awe each morning and evening. Our host went out of her way to make sure that we had everything required and beyond. Thank you Daniela and Simona.

A Most Enjoyable Stay at Villa Caprera!
My husband and I celebrated "milestone" birthdays this month, and decided to spend two weeks in Italy with my sister-in-law and her husband to celebrate. We spent our first week on the Amalfi Coast in Positano, and a second week in Tuscany. Having been to Siena briefly ten years ago on a cruise, we decided that it would be a good choice for our "home base" while in Tuscany. It was absolutely perfect in every way! Our host Simona provided us with a "House Book" prior to our arrival which answered any questions we would have while there, which was invaluable. We were a 15 minute cab ride to the center of Siena, which we could see from bedroom windows or from our private sitting area in the garden, where we enjoyed cocktails after a day of exploring. Renting a car in Tuscany is a good idea, and there is plenty of room to park at the Villa. We picked up our car in Siena and enjoyed day trips to San Gimignano, Montalcino and Montapulciano which were easy drives from the villa. While the kitchen was modern and very well equipped, we only prepared breakfast there, and had lunches and dinners out. There is a lovely restaurant within walking distance of the villa (La Curvetta) where we had dinner several evenings, and we also ventured into Siena for dinner as well. I can't say enough about the accommodations at Villa Caprera. Staying there was definitely a highlight of our wonderful holiday! We would highly recommend it.

Very Pleasant Experience in Sienna
Five of us were very comfortable and well treated during our week-long stay. Simona's mother brought us tarts and a basket of fresh vegetables from the garden, and generally looked after us well. The tower really comes into its own on Summer evenings. We sat outside and watched the sun's light fade and the moon rise over the buildings of Sienna. Quite a magical place, particularly when paired with a Brunello. While not in Sienna proper, it is possible (although not entirely pleasant) to walk to town if necessary, but a bus also services the walled city and the drive to one of many parking lots is quick enough. As noted by others, it's quite easy to launch day trips all over the region. A note on the house: one bedroom has very low ceilings. It was perfect for our seven year old, but might not be appropriate/comfortable for all sizes. On the other hand, the tower room ceiling soars above four walls of windows. For those travelling in groups but craving privacy, note that the tower bedroom door does not truly close without much fiddling and assistance, due to the stairs below it. Not a problem for us, but worth noting as the room is directly above the dining room. Well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms, great linens, comfortable beds. We look forward to returning.

Country living in the middle of Tuscany
We 5 all thoroughly enjoyed this charming top half of the house, overlooking Siena from what felt like a country estate. Lovely farmhouse feel with elegant furnishings and outside seating and exploring space made formed an excellent base from which to explore the marvelous tuscan hilltowns, Siena, florence, even Pisa and Cinqueterre. or you could just sit at home and relax, with the church bell the only thing to break the silence. Had some wonderful family meals in the dining room with well fitted kitchen and vegetables from the garden supplied by mother of the house. Great grocery shopping close by and of course a good choice of good Italian restaurants close by. Having a car is a great advantage. The VRBO coordinates were off but the coordinates 43°18'09.4N 11°18'50.8E are spot on. Simona was very responsive to all our requests for assistance. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Amazing Villa with amazing views
We stayed at Villa Caprera for a week and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazing Villa. We were greeted by our host - she was so friendly and her pride in the home showed as she walked us around the Villa, opening windows and showing us the amenities. She provided a lovely homemade dessert, a bottle of wine, coffee and other items to welcome us. The home was beautiful and so well maintained. Our every need was met and we were comfortable and felt right at home our entire stay. We loved how cozy the home felt and thought the paintings on the ceilings and the antique furnishings were so charming. The beds were very comfortable. Our daughter stayed in the roof top bedroom and slept every night with all the windows open. We woke to the sound of roosters and birds and fresh breezes blowing in through the windows. In late afternoon, we sat on the back patio and enjoyed wine and amazing views of Siena in the near distance. Because Siena was so close, we could get to town so easily, which was so convenient for shopping and dinner and wonderful walks about town. We would go back in a heartbeat! Villa Caprera felt like home away from home!

Mit ganz viel Liebe gestaltet
Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und bekamen alles genau gezeigt. Zum Ausladen kann man vor das Haus fahren, ansonsten gibt es einen Parkplatz wenige Schritte entfernt. Die Wohnung liegt im ersten Stock, unmittelbar neben einer weiteren Ferienwohnung. Ein "eigener" Balkon oder Terrasse ist nicht vorhanden. Rund um das Haus ist aber eine Grünanlage die ihresgleichen sucht. Wunderschön gestaltet, super gepflegt und mit wertigem Mobiliar ausgestattet. Hier herrscht idyllische Ruhe, man hört nur die in der Nähe befindliche Kirchenturmuhr schlagen. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und wunderschön gemacht (Deckenmalerei, wertige Möbel, schöne Lampen, tolle Stoffe selbst bei der Bettwäsche). Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet (und wir sind Vielkocher). Allerdings eignet sich die Wohnung nicht für Menschen mit körperlichen Einschränkungen. Man muss um in die Bäder zu kommen ein paar ungleichmäßig hohe Stufen hoch gehen und ,je nach Größe, dabei den Kopf einziehen. Es ist eine gepflegte Waschmaschine inkl. Waschmittel in einem eigenen Raum vorhanden. Die Wohnung liegt ca. 15 Autominuten von Siena entfernt. Auf dem Weg dorthin gibt es Supermärkte die keine Wünsche offen lassen. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt.

Toscaanse droom.
Het verblijf was fantastisch. Beeldschoon huis met een prachtig vergezicht op Siena. Het contact met Simona en Daniella was zeer prettig en waar nodig behulpzaam. We hadden het huis gehuurd voor vier weken en het was moeilijk om te vertrekken. We kunnen het huis zeker aanbevelen . Wij komen zeker terug!

Sehr schöne Unterkunft am Rande von Siena
Wir waren zu dritt in der Ferienwohnung. Die Wohnung ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Lage ist ein Traum. Man ist sehr schnell in Siena, lediglich der Fußweg nach Siena ist ein wenig abenteuerlich. Die Kommunikation vor der Reise als auch der Checkin waren vorbildlich. Alles in allem eine erstklassige Unterkunft.
