A wonderful Tuscan holiday

We have little to add beyond the other wonderful reviews of this property, It was the perfect place for our Tuscan visit. We did side trips to Siena, Monteriggiano, and to the Chianti area. The house, pool, game room, and everything was perfect. Fabio was great throughout the booking process and arranged transport, day trips, etc. (We were one of the rare visitors to the property that did not book a car - we didn’t want the hassle. ) The real star of Villa Le Caggia is Maurizio. He came every morning to check on the house (and heat the wonderful hot tub!). He prepared our welcome dinner and also did a cooking class. Our children made ravioli, tiramisu, and a delicious pork dish. We took the advice of another reviewer and had him cook for us more than once. He actually cooked six of our seven dinners and they were superb! He also helped us with buying groceries or anything else we needed! In short, we recommend the property 100%. Thank you Fabio and Maurizio,

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.

THE REAL TUSCAN DREAM

10/24/2019 at 10:51 AM

I had a fantastic staying at Villa Le Caggia with my family in April. The natural surrounding of the Villa is stunning and the Villa itself, on the top of the hill, is surprisingly beautiful. Maurizio, Domenico, the 2 Fabios and Elisabetta (the owner and a great Artist) are the authors of the restructuring of this ancient typical Tuscany villa and, most of all, of the interior decor which make the real impact. We were surprised by the research behind every detail around, inside about forniture and decor, outside about the garden, the pool area, the walk around path through the green of the park. Very good food and great wine as completion of the picture.

Amazing Tuscan experience!!!

Wonderful, charming property with all the modern amenities with no detail overlooked. Many delightful corners, spaces, activities for friends and family to enjoy their stay. Spacious bedrooms and more bathrooms than 10 people needed. Jacopo was a wonderful host, who made us a welcome meal for 10 weary travelers from various parts of the world. We also took advantage of Jacopo's Tuscan cooking class, which resulted in a great experience for all and a wonderful dinner. It was a great place to explore nearby towns, with rental cars arranged through Jacopo.

Le Caggia - a lovely place to memorize

a) Le Caggia is a lovely place and we all have a lot of good memories from our stay which we can memorize through the coming cold winter season in Norway b) Welcome dinner prepared by you on short notice - unfortunately some delays caused by us - was highly appreciated c) In addition we managed to visit both La Cetina, Siena, Sovicille, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano and Volterra d) Excellent dinner served at Le Caggia including some of our favorites -wild boar and tiramisu - and of course a lot of excellent Tuscany wine – Chianti. (All arranged by Lene and prepared by Cristiana and Marina) e) Wine tasting at Felcina close to Castelnuovo Berardenga. (All arr. by Lene and Asia as guide) f) An excellent ”light” Tuscany meal at Villa di Sotto in Villa-a-Sesta with exceptional good service, panoramic view and where we experienced a lovely sunset…..good timing which made our day. (All arranged by Lene and Asia as guide) g) Looking forward to seeing you both next time in Tuscany/La Cetina

Vacation of a Lifetime!

Our experience at this beautiful villa exceeded our expectations in every single way! Our hosts, Jacopo and Fabio had tended to every single detail of the property to ensure that our stay would be a memorable one and were simply delightful. Our welcome meal (advice: DO take them up on that option!) was an incredible offering of homemade Italian cuisine and was the most welcome sight for weary travelers. We were amazed that in the midst of this peaceful and quiet area that there could be such a well-appointed villa- the rooms and bathrooms are much larger than our other living experiences in Italy, and the kitchen, dining room and outdoor areas easily accommodate large groups while maintaining a cozy atmosphere. The sea water swimming pool is fantastic as is the hot tub. I had been concerned that the smaller towns we'd hoped to see would be too far away but the Podere la Caggia villa is nicely situated and is close to many towns to explore. We can hardly wait to go back! It's just beautiful and so relaxing; I wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful setting!

Such an incredible place with wonderful amenities! The hosts Fabio and Jacopo were the best and so accommodating! Definitely have the welcome dinner, which was delicious and had plenty of left overs. Also we enjoyed the cooking class very much! The salt water pool was so refreshing. Then bedrooms and the bathrooms were good sizes and nicely done. The ten of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

In love with Le Caggia

Our stay at the Villa exceeded the entire groups' expectations. Completely modernized Villa with all of the original old world charm. The Villa and the surrounding property are both absolutely beautiful….plenty of space and clean, modern features. Jacabo and Fabio were fantastic hosts, cooking for us on two evenings and a great resource for local sights and travels. We loved the experience and would highly recommend this Villa to anyone wanting to experience Tuscany in all its glory. Rental car is a must but a great way to enjoy the travels to all the wonderful surrounding sites and communities.

A Dream come true!

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!
