Commenti degli Ospiti per Villa Monastero
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.

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.Raccomanderesti la Proprietà ad un amico? Si
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!

Villa Monastero - a great villa and great location for spending time in Siena and the surrounding Toscana areas. We were warmly welcomed by Daniela and Anna after a long day of travel and immediately felt at home. The bedroom on the main floor was cozy and bed was soft and warm for the unusually cool and rainy nights. The villa was extremely convenient for the bus stop and Piazza Gramsci arrival (7 minute ride). After days exploring San Gimignano, Volterra, Firenze, Chianti wine region, and Montalcino wine regions, it was nice to stop at the salumeria across from the bus stop and chat with the locals before picking up food for an evening meal in the villa. Our only regret is we didn't have more than a week and with the rainy days we didn't get to chat with Mario and Daniela more on the patio enjoying a glass of wine and some food!!! Thanks for an amazing week in Toscana, Tina, Steve, Jennifer, & Greg

We loved our stay at Villa Caprera. The unit is really beautiful and has a very modern kitchen. The owners were very friendly and made us feel at home, helping us with our travel plans and organising restaurants etc. Nothing was a problem to them! We loved every minute of our stay and would highly recommend Villa Caprera.

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!!Raccomanderesti la Proprietà ad un amico? Si
What a wonderful experience! The Bencini family made us feel so welcome and the place is beautiful and homey and the view is lovely. The location is convenient to Siena. We had a dinner prepared for our group the first night and it was everything we hoped it would be. Grazie, grazie!

Fantastic villa in a great location, quite central to most places in Tuscany and very close to Sienna.
Owners on site and immediately make you feel very welcome.
Helpful local information was provided which ensured we saw all the sites of Tuscany as well as knew the easiest place to pick up a few groceries.
Villa was very clean and tidy and includes all the things anyone would need for their stay.
Highly recomended!Raccomanderesti la Proprietà ad un amico? Si
We enjoyed our stay at this villa. The owner was very friendly bringing us freshly squeezed olive oil, basil, and fresh tomatoes from her garden. This is a 3 bedroom villa with two king beds. The problem with one of the king room is that it is up a spiral stairs with no bathroom. This room is only for the young but not kids. One of the bathrooms was quite large but the other one small. The villa has a washing machine but no dryer which is common for Italy. We enjoyed this villa and definitely would recommend it to others.

We had a terrific 2 week stay at the apartment, using it as a base to explore Tuscany by car. The Bencini family were charming and very welcoming. The Villa exceeded our expectations, recently renovated but retaining it's period features. The bus within 300m of the apartment made Siena very accessible.

My Family and I just returned from Siena and were fortunate enough to stay at the Villa Caprera. We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful apartment and the hospitality of the Bencini family. The Villa is a very nice marriage of the old and new. The place is fully renovated and accommodated 5 very comfortably. Everything has been lovingly renovated by the family's architect daughter. We stayed in the tower room which was beautiful albeit a little noisy at first light due to the birds but some ear plugs solved that problem. The owner's are on premises and are such kind people. Danielle baked us a cake and brought us fresh eggs and her husband Mario even offered to drive us into town the first night since we didn't have our rental car until the next day. It was just a wonderful, welcoming experience and we are very thankful for the memories. Extras: views of Siena, there is a small market right down the street, a small garden area with a grill, and Ilda the very friendly Nonna who will speak to you in Italian no matter if you understand or not. Negatives: nothing really, some low hallway ceilings so watch your head when heading to the bathroom. John N.- Washington, DC

Villa Caprera was a wonderful place to stay, the feeling of the property retained its old world charm with all the facilities of a modern property. The hosts were gracious and we could not have hoped for better. The location is about 3km from Sienna so a car is necessary.
