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.

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.

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.

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.
