Review Details:
What an unforgettable week we had at Villa Caprera! Located very close to Siena, it was an excellent 'base' for exploring Central Tuscany by car...that is when we had the inclination to leave this wonderful villa!
The splendid decor is a mix of antique and ultra-modern which provided a homey atmosphere with convenient amenities. We put the well equipped kitchen to good use for several meals (great markets & farm stands are nearby). Many items you would look for in a fine hotel were present: nice bathrooms, cozy linens, spotless furniture, & WIFI. Every window had a stunning view of the hills and olive groves surrounding the property!
Other useful features: a patio with tables and chairs provided, washing machine (but no dryer... normal for Italian households), high ceilings, DVD w/ small library of movies, & a dishwasher.
The property is represented by EasyReserve which made for a delightful booking experience.
Prior to our arrival, Simona the owner provided us with good practical information and was kind enough to secure a few dinner reservations around Tuscany for us.
There didn't seem to be any negative items at Villa Caprera, but on a practical note, potential renters should be aware that: 1) This is a 1 story walk-up apartment. 2) One of the 3 bedrooms is a loft up another flight of stairs...making it quite romantic, but probably not great for infirm guests... and 3) It wasn't easy to find the 1st time we drove there, as it's not indicated on any GPS (Simona warned us as much) & the main highway nearby has at least 4 different names. Once we arrived, I locked it into my GPS & we never had another problem.
Did I mention the stunning views from every window?? Breathtaking!!
