About this house rental
Villa BANDITELLO, 130m2, accommodates 6 guests. The original building, dating back to the early 20th century, was restored in 1999 according to the Tuscan tradition and outfitted with furnishings from the owner's family.
The ground floor features three entrances, with French windows to the yard. It has a bright and well-equipped kitchen (gas stove with oven, fridge, fireplace for barbecuing), and walk-in pantry. The kitchen leads to a double living room with a Tuscan fireplace at one end, furnished with antique furniture and several sofas and armchairs. A half bathroom is off the living room.
Stone steps lead to the upper floor, which features a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom (with bathtub) and a splendid view over Montepulciano valley. Off the corridor, there are two twin bedrooms and a separate bathroom (with shower). Wrought iron beds, rustic furniture, small wooden bathroom mirrors, doors, and built-in wardrobes have been handpicked according to the Tuscan tradition. The house is airy and bright all day long. The panoramic yard has a large iron table and chairs, and chaise lounges.
The house fully accommodates a maximum of six people. There is wood available for the barbecues, public drinking water, instant hot water, dishwasher, and central heating. Baby cots and high chairs are available. High speed Wi-Fi. Mosquito nets for all windows. Portable fans.
** THE PROPERTY **
Villa BANDITELLO is one of two stone houses on the Capanne di Sopra estate. While the two houses are close, their positioning allows for a totally autonomous stay.
The site is located 1.3 km from Montefollonico and 7 km from Montepulciano, in a secluded and panoramic location, with a wide view of the Montepulciano valley, the temple of San Biagio, the summit of Monte Amiata and the hills of the Val d'Orcia.
To preserve the rural character of the estate, we have chosen not to have a swimming pool.
In the property there are 4 cats, with adequate shelter, well cared for and under veterinary supervision.
The property is accessible only through a private dirt road (about 400 meters from the provincial road) in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, with olive groves, vineyards and woods. There is a reserved parking area.
Guest access
The parking area is at the entrance of the property. Guests have access to the entire house and surrounding yard.

Summary of reviewsBeautiful, spacious summer house with splendid views, quiet location, well-equipped, and very hospitable owners.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
Property is well kept with excellent views. Sipping tea in the morning outside overlooking the valley was a great start of the day. The larger towns you want to visit are 30min to an hour or so away. You definitely need a car. The house keeper is a wonderful person who was patient with are lack of Italian (we speak Spanish and English). Recommend for a great family get away.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2024
This property and our stay was outstanding. Everything was exactly as we hoped. We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The villa is away from the city, but the town is easily accessible. You do need a car. The view from the property is like in a dream and we sat for many hours in the mornings and evenings taking it in. The home is spotless with everything we could possibly need. The owner is extremely helpful and assisted us with dinner reservations and our many questions. We even had wood for the fireplace, making our evenings so cozy. The home is perfect for a family vacation and set up for settling in immediately. It was very, very hard to leave. I highly recommend everything about Villa Banditello.

When the gravel track road opened up onto Villa Banditello my first reaction was that this must be paradise. The house is completely off the beaten track positioned in its own beautiful and large garden that spills out into the olive groves and vineyards surrounding the property and further down into the valley below. The grounds are storybook picturesque with nothing obstructing the view and on the hill opposite the garden you have the hilltop town of Montepulciano. I dont normally splurge but this house is something else.The interior is large and comfortable, tastefully (and it seems, lovingly) furnished by the owners. The bed was comfortable, the linens and towels spotlessly clean, the bathrooms large, the living rooms (there are actually two of them) airy and very comfortable.The furniture was not the eclectic assortment that you sometimes find in vacation rentals. It was in character with the house and some of the pieces are of the type you see in antique stores in Tuscany and wish you could carry away with you. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking at home, the stove is large and modern and it is supplied with much more than the bare essentials. We are hikers and there is no shortage of beautiful hiking trails (the white trails of Tuscany) in the area. There is an abundance of beautiful hill towns to visit in the area, but we also took day trips to Florence (under an hour and a half by car) and visited Umbria. To top it all the owners, Michele and Cristina, are the perfect hosts. We were lucky to have had the opportunity to meet them in person and they gave us the feeling that we were indeed their guests rather than random renters. We had a wonderful stay in this very special house and are certain that we shall return.
