Beautiful Tuscan Villa, pool, hot tub, A/C, 15 km from Siena

We just returned from our 1 week stay at this villa. It far exceeded our expectations. It is breathtakingly beautiful. When booking, I always rely heavily on reviews, so I feel the need to point out the many great things about this house. First, we are from New Orleans and A/C is required. This house has an A/C ceiling unit in every room and we nearly froze to death! Yes, that's right. We were there from July 7 -14, 2018. Nights were very cool and a sweater was required as we dined outside every night on the grounds. After dinner every night, we sat by the fire pit. Only regret was that we did not have items to make smores. There were 10 of us. We are mid fifty and we had twin 11 year old boys and a 13 girl and two college girls plus 3 other family members. Everyone loved every minute and never wanted to leave the house. The boys hunted for wood for the fire pit, played ping pong, swam, bocce, ping pong and the TV room has Netflix! American Netflix at that. The bedrooms are all HUGE. Plenty of closet space and large super modern bathrooms. We are a bit spoiled. We like our own space and this house has it. 7 bedrooms and every one has their own bath. About Fabio, we met him on night one and he was very gracious. We had requested food to be stocked. It was a short list, so Fabio came by on Sunday with more food and beer. Mauricio is the best!! He was there everyday. He cooked the welcome dinner (highly suggest this.) I'd like to take him home. He worked in the garden. They grow their own vegetables. We picked herbs from the garden when we cooked on our own. We did the cooking class at the villa and would also suggest that as well. We did rent two cars from Hertz in Siena. Be prepared for that experience. I'll say that we are glad that we rented vehicles, but Hertz was a nightmare. They make you take their insurance and when you do that your credit card coverage is not valid.

This VILLA was the best part of our trip through Europe. We came from a few days in Paris and the tranquil setting was perfect. The entire group gives this villa 5 stars. Susie C.

Our hosts Jacopo and Fabio helped to make the week stay a first class experience

Visited for the first week of July with 10 adults. Absolutely loved it. Plenty of room, clean, comfortable and both Jacobo and the other manager were extremely accommodating. We had 2 meals cooked by them which were excellent and we would highly recommend doing this. Appreciated having many different wines available for purchase at the villa and very affordable prices. Would go back in a heart beat.

We recently returned from our visit to this beautiful, historical Tuscan villa with 11 members of our family, traveling from five locations throughout the United States. The villa is large, with space for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves. The kitchen had everything we ever needed, and we spent most evenings eating dinner outside, overlooking the beautiful surrounding fields and forests. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable, and we had more bathrooms than we even needed. Other amenities include a beautiful pool, hot tub, and washer and dryer. The thing that initially attracted me to renting the villa was the description of all of the services that could be arranged owners -- and we utilized most of them! Jacopo was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and had the refrigerator stocked with basic supplies that we had requested. He made a delicious multi-course dinner for us that first night -- a very welcome site after our long travels. He reserved several rental road bikes that were delivered to the villa with all of the equipment we needed, and we enjoyed morning rides around the country roads. He organized a private shuttle to pick us all up at the villa to take us to Florence for the day, where a private tour guide met us and showed us the highlights of the city, the Uffizi gallery and the Academia with Michelangelo's David. Some of the family enjoyed several hours with Jacopo in an Italian cooking class, and we all enjoyed their food creations for dinner. He also assisted us in arranging shuttle transport from and to airports. If I were to do anything different, I would have had Jacopo arrange rental cars to be delivered to the villa -- saving us having to pick them up at the airports. Jacopo was simply amazing -- the extra services offered on the website is what won me over to reserve the villa, and I was more than pleased with everything Jacopo was able to provide. I highly recommend this beautiful villa, and I have already shared this verb site with several friends who are interested in planning a family trip to Tuscany. We loved our family vacation, and look forward to our next visit.

This property is very close to the perfect movie set! The grounds are gorgeous, and the buildings quaint...and large!

From the moment we arrived until the day we left, this was our Tuscany home. The host was welcoming, and the wine delicious and plentiful.

We had arranged to have a cook for a few nights, and a cooking class for another...this was a very special and wonderfull experience! Huge value for your money!

I would definitely return to Podere La Caggia with friends again. Memorable!
