About this villa rental
Beautiful apartments in former Byzantine Tuscan castle at Caprese Michelelangelo with breathtaking views perfect for couples.
Right in the heart of Tuscany overlooking the castle & village of Caprese Michelangelo and is set in 100 acres of the most beautiful mountain forests.
The relaxing, salt water pool complete with Roman steps, sits in a peaceful olive grove with a spectacular view through the mountains to the fairytale-esque Castle of Michelangelo.
The tranquil position, frequently described as 'paradise on earth' contains an abundance of wildlife where the birds sing at night and the fireflies provide a moving display of sparkling light.
In years gone by, the villa was owned by the Vatican and was used to house monks from the monastery. Ideal for walking and cycling, the area is home to many fine restaurants, with truffles and mushrooms being a local specialty, and good Tuscan wines. The mountains and forests have inspired the three greatest artists of the Renaissance and remain largely unspoiled today. This is where the great artist Michelangelo was born and lived. The little chapel where he was baptised is in the village and a museum dedicated to him is within the Castle of Michelangelo. Nearby at La Verna is the Franciscan monastery retreat where St Francis of Assisi is said to have received the stigmata. Rich in Renaissance history are the local towns of Sansepolcro, Cortona and the medieval walled town of Anghiari. It is ideal for walking and cycling in particular.
There is so much to see & do as well as time to relax by the salt water pool which is heated by solar panels.
The area has many great restaurants and because we are not close to the city the prices are very low.
Anghiari, a wonderful medieval walled town is nearby.
In Caprese Michelangelo you will find the castle and birthplace of the legendary artist Michelangelo to visit as well as restaurants and bars serving great food.
Enjoy an authentic Italian experience at the local olive oil mill. The mill dates back to 1421 and is still in use to this day.
This wonderful experience of visiting an oil mill is fantastic. First you will have a little tour of the mill and then you go to the family residence where you will enjoy a fresh and delicious meal complete with wine made from the grapes from their own vineyard in the courtyard. This is preceded by an opportunity to taste the many variations of their own oils on fresh bread. Particularly remarked upon, are the fennel, lemon, black and white truffle and basil flavoured oils.
Located in a picturesque alpine valley town nearby is the thermal spa which offers guests the perfect setting to relax and unwind. The large pool is separated into indoor and outdoor sections, enabling visitors to take in the breath-taking views or gaze up into the night sky. This beautiful spa also boasts Jacuzzis, waterfalls and a steam cave.
You don’t need to worry about bringing shampoo, hair conditioner or shower gel as we supply all of that. We also supply all the towels including pool towels.
Pool open from May to September.

We loved our stay the Michael Angelo villa. The views are spectacular, the area is magnificent and the villa is very comfortable with everything you could need. Even on the hottest days the breezes were ample and the pool was perfect. Best of all is the hostess, Freyja who is just wonderful. Always available and full of excellent suggestions, she really made the week perfect for us. Highly recommended experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 day R+R in Tuscany. We were not after the big city tourist attractions, nor crowds, so finding this place worked great. Freyja, our host was so helpful with advice, directions, dinner reservations that we became friends. Her passion is animal rescue and Freyja uses proceeds to support this cause caring for injured or neglected animals. Being more country we found restaurants were open and less cost. We loved sitting by the beautiful swimming pool and the views from our Villa stunning. We highly recommend this gem.

My husband and I recently stayed at this property and I can't tell you how breathtakingly beautiful it is. The views are simply stunning Freya, the hostess, was extremely helpful and friendly. She had great suggestions on places to visit and set us up with a wine tasting in Cortona with her wonderful friend, Gabriella, who has a wine shop there. She also got us reservations and a fabulous table at a local restaurant and arranged for a cab service for us.
The location of this property is very special, not only are the views beautiful, but it is a great spot to hub off to various destinations in Tuscany (we drove to Cortona, Siena, Arezzo, Anghiari, Montepulciano, and Cesenatico- all very special places to visit). It is also about an 1 and 45 minute drive from the Florence aiport so it's very convenient. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Tuscany and am so thankful to Freya for making this trip extra special for us.
