Amazing private villa in Tuscany!
Review Submitted: October 17, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
Casa Capella is a magnificant getaway spot, and surpassed all of our expectations. The villa is situated at the very top of the hillside, overlooking the beautiful Tuscan landscape, homes, and towns below.
The description doesn't begin to describe all of its beauty and charm. The views from the property (especially at night when all lit up) were absolutely breathtaking.
The home is very charming, and we very much enjoyed the use of the large pool, trampoline, beautiful grounds, etc. The villa even has it's very own church.
We thoroughly enjoyed eating at the local bar, which is a pituresque 15-20 minute walk from the property. Not only was the food amazing (and very reasonably priced), but getting a first hand look at the local culture and community, is something that we felt very lucky to have experienced - we only wished we had gone sooner!
The villa is situated in a very good spot to explore other surrounding areas like the mountainous region of Garfagnana (Barga, especially was a very beautiful town), Lucca, Cinque Terre, Pisa, etc.
The villa was clean, well cared for, provided all the ammenities needed, and felt very homey.
A highlight of the experience was the authentic Italian dinner that was cooked for us by Casa Capella's housekeeper Christina. It is an absolute must (make sure you come hungry!) Christina must have been preparing for 2 days straight to have made that fantastic meal.
We had an amazing stay at Casa Capella, and hopefully we will be lucky enough to find ourselves there again.
Thank-you so much for the wonderful experience!
