What a wonderful surprise! As high as our expectations were, they were exceeded. We had such a warm welcome from Señora Daniela, a beautiful and delicious fruit tart and a bottle of Proseco...and a surprisingly well-equipped kitchen and dining room. All in all, we wanted for almost nothing. We came equipped with a Cordon Bleu chef and even he was surprised and delighted (only wishing he had brought his knives!). The house had everything one would wish for...beautiful fresh flowers throughout...fresh herbs in the gardens....fresh eggs in ample supply from the señora...home-made olive oil...a dream. Believe in the pictures on the internet...very accurate portrayal of a lovely villa. Wonderful location...just carefully heed the directions when first arriving. I think it important to have a car, but even still, we ventured to Siena by bus...a bit of an adventure but in the end, fun. Cautions? There is a little store just up the road with a couple of very nasty women working there. Very nasty. Beautiful foodstuffs albeit very expensive. We found our way to the local supermarket, Conads...and it was great and they had everything we needed and after speaking with Daniela we found our way with ease. We shall return!

A special place. Spacious, bright, well set up with conveniences including a flat screen t.v., with some English channels, A lovely, modern kitchen, 2 full modern baths and decorated with charming antiques and interesting duck decoy collection. Although it was upstairs, we chose the tower bedrooms with arched and round windows with fabulous views of the old city. It felt like staying in a castle. The apartment is on the second floor, which gives views and privacy.
A nice outdoor sitting area - it fit well in the Siena atmosphere. From the villa we were close to Sienna and spent 4 days exploring the "caught in time" city. The duomo was the most beautiful we saw in all of Italy. Then we did a wine tour and 2 days of driving to Tuscan towns - always great food and wine.Conseilleriez-vous ce logement à un ami? Oui
We loved out stay at Villa Caprera. It was beautiful as well as clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. The location was great for day trips to most of the hill towns in Tuscany. Neighbors were very friendly. Be sure to visit the little market down on the corner. We had cappaccino there every morning. We enjoyed talking to Gabri and her husband (owners) even though we only speak a little Italian and they spoke a little English. We would definately go back!

A superbly located, beautifully renovated, spacious apartment. Kitchen is so well appointed that we couldn't resist preparing at least one large and very enjoyable meal during our stay, in addition to breakfasts and snacks. There's a reasonable, small shop within walking distance, and it is easy enough to drive up to Siena for more serious provisions. The surrounding grounds are lovely and well kept, adding to the ambiance.
