The house is in amazing location. Very close to Sienna and many other key cities within Tuscany. Great home base for us. Angelica and her husband Claudio were great hosts. Good communication throughout the stay, welcome gift of their own honey and eggs was a nice touch. This house has wonderful views and very spacious.

It was absolutely lovely!! The hosts were so very gracious, and our visit started with dinner outside, first enjoying the view of the rolling hills than later the milky way. Easy drive to Siena. Also the house is clean, comfortable, and well air-conditioned. Has my highest recommendation!

We recently stayed at Capanna di Elfo and to say it was amazing would be understated. From the owners greeting us to the location of the villa, we were impressed! This is a beautiful home and was ideal for 6 adults with plenty of room to socialize and enjoy the property. The support received from Best of Mas was incredible. We definitely recommend!

I would give this villa 10 stars if I could.
Great location only a few minutes from Siena. Used location for daytrips throughout Tuscany.
4 separate bedrooms with their own bathroom. Air conditioning throughout.
Covered outdoor patio area with table and chairs where we ate most of our meals.
Owners live next door and we very responsive to any questions. Grocery store 5 minutes away. Clean and well stocked. Exceeded expectations.
Highly recommend.

This was the perfect location to end our trip to Italy.
The location and house were gorgeous! Rolling hills, beautiful sunsets, and a really spacious comfortable place to relax. The hosts were very welcoming.
Siena was a ten minute drive away. We would love to come back for an even longer stay!

Very comfortable villa in a beautiful setting. Close to Siena but away from the touristy areas and crowds. Our hosts were terrific - welcomed us with fresh eggs, honey and wine. All of our favorites! Anjelica also shared great recommendations during our stay. Highly recommend.
The villa was a perfect place, providing our group with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. It was immaculately clean, and even better than the photos. We cooked in for dinner two nights and enjoyed both outdoor patio spaces. Angelica was a perfect host greeting us on arrival and departure. We hope to come back again!

This place is a gem. There were 4 of us that stayed and each of us had our own room with private bath. The home was spacious, clean, and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and the location was beautiful. There are plenty of breathtaking views from the windows and around the home. We would definitely stay here again. The hot tub and washing machine were an added bonus. There is no dryer, but there are dryer racks. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire stay.

This was a perfect house for our family with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The design is brilliant. Our host, Angelica, thought of everything for our stay. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for our cooking class that we coordinated with Best of Mas. The property is spectacular with incredible views and stunning sunsets. The location is great, close to Siena, and accessible to many wineries. I highly recommend this house! I want to go back and stay longer! Perfect for families and small groups!!

This home was a wonderful “home away from home.” It made for a relaxing spot to enjoy and explore Siena and the surrounding area. The house was beautiful and comfortable and the hosts provided everything we needed for our stay. The people at Best of Mas helped create a week of memorable experiences from dinners and tours and arranging transportation. They helped with every detail to make our trip seamless and amazing. We would recommend Beat of MAs to all of our friends and anyone looking to visit the area.

The villa was amazing, clean, with plenty of space and privacy in every room. The hosts were wonderful and extremely kind, they welcomed us warmly and were available for anything we needed. The villa is just a few minutes away from Siena, so it was very convenient. The view from the villa is stunning, and there’s also a supermarket just a short drive away. The villa had all the equipment needed to cook meals, plenty of towels, and everything was clean. The jacuzzi was great and easy to heat. In short, everything was perfect and we highly recommend it!

We loved everything about our 5 night stay. The house was perfect for our party of 6, three couples. Location was fantastic for exploring Siena and the Chianti region. The hosts were helpful, responsive and easy to communicate with (they advised when we needed medical assistance to remove stitches).
We cooked dinner at the house a couple times. Kitchen is fully equipped and the property was beautiful. Lovely outdoor space and views. We only wish we had reserved the house for a longer period.
The house made for a wonderful home away from home. It provided a relaxing place to spend the evening after visiting Siena and the surrounding area. The house had everything we needed and the hosts were warm and welcoming. We also used Best of Mas to help plan several tours and dinners. They went above and beyond. Everyone was friendly and helpful and ensured we had a lovely visit to Tuscany.We would definitely stay again. Thank you for a wonderful visit and for sharing your lovely home with us.

This beautiful villa exceeded all expectations! Our hosts were so kind and gracious and even brought us fresh eggs and honey from their hens and hives. The location was peaceful, on a beautiful hillside, and an easy drive for groceries and into Siena to explore that wonderful city. We had six adults in our group so we only needed three of the four bedrooms, but each came with an en suite bathroom. The beds and bedding were fresh and comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking all manner of food and the hot tub was immaculate and a wonderful end to our hot days exploring, once the sun went down.
