Beautiful expansive villa. Plenty of room for our large family group. Lots of different areas within the grounds. Lovely meal. Private grounds, nice and quiet. Only drawback was having your own transport is a necessity.

Staying at the Villa was a dream come true. The setting was gorgeous. The grounds were well maintained, gracious and comfortable. The house was clean and neat, but with lots of personality. All of the beds were comfortable. There was space for eating, sleeping, relaxing, talking with friends. Everything needed and more! The second building, with the large group eating space was especially beautiful and we even had weather that allowed us to use the big fireplace. The large room with a ping pong table was a big hit as well! Our contact was so kind and responsive. We had a couple of questions across the week and she replied right away with answers or came over to show us what we needed. It is nerve racking to invite a large number of guests to a place you have never seen before - - but the Villa was everything we hoped for, and more! We hope we will have a chance to go back.

We were 20 people + 1 infant travelling and stayed there for 9 days. The whole experience was 5 stars, the villa and garden was beautiful and the host was amazing. They offered to cook a local Italian meal for the whole group for a fair price that was also wonderful. Would definitely recommend and we hope we can come back someday.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt komplett genossen. Man ist etwas abseits (Auto ratsam), hat dafür ein riesiges Grundstück + Anwesen für sich, perfekt für größere Gruppen, mit genug Rückzugsmöglichkeiten. Supermärkte sind mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen. Riesen Empfehlung!

Die Villa Capolona bietet alles, was es braucht, wenn man einen idealen Aufenthaltsort mit einer grösseren Gruppe (junger) Menschen plant. Pool, Pingpong-Tisch, viel Platz und Ruhe bieten eine optimale Ausgangslage. Die Villa ist sehr grosszügig und lässt individuellen Bedürfnissen Platz. Arezzo ist nahe, Florenz von dort aus gut erreichbar, sogar mit ÖV. Alessandra, die Gastgeberin war stets hilfsbereit und leicht erreichbar.
Herrliche Lage, sonniges Wetter, ausgezeichnete Infrastruktur, so ist das Leben schön!

We provided a list of items to have at the villa upon arrival. They did the shopping so we had essentials there when we arrived. They provided the receipt for the groceries in which we paid upon arrival. Service was worth the fee. Go ahead and make your full list and save yourself some time at the market.
We had a dinner arranged during our stay. AMAZING DINNER. Only regret is not having it done on the second night of our stay. The food was delicious and there was so much of it we could have had the extra to snack on for the week. I would certainly recommend this service!!!

"Very nice complex at nice and quiet location. We celebrated our anniversary with family and friends and had a great time. We had drinks in the big garden, dinner at the bbq at the back of the house, dinner at the little square btw the main and smaller house, played round the pingpong table every evening and used the option to have a nice Tuscan dinner. We were a little bit unlucky w the weather and the house was a bit cold, not easy to heat it up. The pool is also not heated and a bit cold. Overall great experience and would come back for sure. Great for larger families or group of friends, even with 18 people we still had ample space.

Die Villa und das ganze Anwesen entsprechen genau den Bildern und Beschreibungen, was leider nicht immer selbstverständlich ist. Tolles Haus und riesengroßer Garten mit genug Schatten. Wir waren zu 15, und immer hat jeder auch seine stille Ecke gefunden. Echt genial, wir hoffen, mal wieder eine ähnlichen Anlaß zu haben damit sich eine Buchung hier lohnt.

Tolle Villa für die ganze (Groß-) Familie
Wunderbare Villa mit großem Garten (eher ein Park sag ich mal als Großstadtmensch) Zimmer, Bäder alles sehr schön. Perfekt für unsere Großfamilie im Osterurlaub. Heizung (war nötig) funktionierte gut. Die Küchenausstattung war sehr gut, dass für eine große Gruppe prima gekocht werden konnte. Sehr zu empfehlen.

We were a party of 13, 7 adults and 6 kids under 10. Overall experience was very good. House is large, attractive and quiet. It is close to a local railway line into Arezzo but we didnt hear noise from trains. The garden is beautiful, large and walled off entirely, great for kids. The pool is a good size and cleaned regularly. It's not heated. There are many places to sit and eat outside and basic BBQ set-up in a courtyard. The main house has large bedrooms and most have bathrooms located across the hall which are nice, clean and towels provided are new. No shortage of hot water. All windows have closable wooden shutters and the beds are comfortable. It was August when we were there and it was hot. There are no fans in the bedrooms which seems like an easy fix to increase comfort. The kitchen is small and the pots/pans etc are pretty tired. There is one oven and a 4 ring gas surface. It all works fine but is very tight for space catering for a large group. There are plenty of stove-top espresso makers and plates/bowls etc, but dont expect too much overall here. No hand-blender, food processor etc. Silvia who is the lady in charge on-site is excellent and responsive. She has great ideas, recommendations and was top-class. We did the Tuscan dinner on-site one night and were so glad - it was really fun and the food was super. Strong recommend. Baciano (the house) do make their own wine and oil and you can buy it from the small store on-site. For a family gathering where people need a decent amount of space and a nice garden to laze and play in, this is a good choice of Villa. A few simple things could really make it even more comfortable. Thanks Silvia for hosting us for a super week.

We were a large group, 4 families including 8 adults and 8 children (ranging from 7-16).
The house was huge, plenty of space for everyone and we never had the feeling that we were on top of each other. The garden was also very large where the kids enjoyed playing football, hide & seek or just relaxing in and around the pool.
The pool was cleaned a few times during the week we stayed. The weather was somewhat different although very normal for the time of year. We started the week with a few very hot sunny days and then it gradually got a bit worse with some showers too. Having said that, the scenery and surrounding towns/villages are very nice trips for a day out or just to kill a few hours.
Overall the house exceeded the expectations, the owner and translator were very friendly and helpful and it truly was a wonderful week in Tuscany.
If you are a large party and you want to enjoy Tuscany then this is definitely worth considering and a car is a necessity!

17 of us recently stayed at the villa in Baciano. We rent a couple of houses each year for vacations and this is easily one of the best places we've stayed. The landscaping and views were breathtaking, the flowers were in bloom making the air smell wonderful. The pool was great, the towering trees provided shade over a good part of the large yard, making it cool to sit outside, even during the heat of the day. Inside the villa and accompanying apartment, there was plenty of room, well-appointed bathrooms, three kitchens, and comfortable bedrooms. Silvia, our contact for the property, offered to set up a traditional Tuscan dinner for us - if you go, you must do this: the food was excellent, the ambiance for the dinner, set up in the old olive press barn, was romantic, and the evening as a whole probably the best experience we had in Italy. The villa is additionally located off the tourist track (which is great), but still within easy driving distance of Florence, Sienna, Assisi, and other major Tuscan sites. Grocery stores and, more importantly, gelatoria are close by (less than 2 miles), making it easy to zip into town and pick up supplies. I can't stress enough how impressive the villa and grounds are
