Luxury Cortona view hilltop Villa

Beautiful villa of your dreams on a hillside near Cortona. 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.

When we were looking for somewhere to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our family we naturally turned to Italy where we have spent many happy holidays in the past. 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.

Perfect location for day trips covering so many of the hilltop towns. Perfect accommodation for a group of 12 friends as each bedroom has it’s own bathroom.Perfect Villa for relaxing at home coffee every morning, lying by the pool and dinner watching the incredible sunsets.Perfect hosts. Denise takes care of everything while you are at the villa including cooking us a wonderful dinner. Mieke answered all our questions prior to our arrival very promptly. She has set the villa up perfectly and send out an excellent guide book to answer nearly all your questions.

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.

The property was great for 2 families that needed to spread out. 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.

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.

This property is in a gorgeous setting up on a hill overlooking Tuscan hills and the town of Cortona. 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. A truly magical place!

Beautiful villa with stunning scenery, exactly as in photos! 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.

The house was perfect! 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! Perfect vacation!

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.
