Country Farmhouse with Magnificient Gardens near Siena, Tuscany

Our stay could not have been more enjoyable. The home and setting was beautiful and in a perfect location. With views of the Tuscan countryside and Siena this was an ideal spot for our family of four.

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.

Good location and convenient to multiple hoghways. A slight lack of directions for checking in. We luckily knocked on the right door after dark.

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.

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!

The property was fantastic and we were well taken care of by the host. I would highly recommend this property. Very convenient to all areas of Tuscany, perfect as a home base. Very clean and comfortable.

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.

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.

Beautifully decorated villa with all the comforts of home! Perfect for our family of six adults.

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.
