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. \*\*\* FOR YOUR ACTIVITIES \*\*\* You will be in the middle of a region with sites of great historical and artistic interest: Montepulciano, Pienza and the Val d'Orcia (UNESCO World Heritage List), San Quirico, Cortona, Chiusi, Monte San Sanvino, Asciano, Siena, Arezzo, Perugia, and Lake Trasimeno. Everyone is within an hour and a half of driving, at most. The closest thermal baths and spas are in S. Albino (7 km), Sarteano (15 km), Bagno Vignoni (16 km), Bagni San Filippo (20 km), Rapolano (20 km). In no more than half an hour's drive you will find public swimming pools in Montepulciano Stazione, S. Albino, Bettolle, Trequanda, Chianciano, Sarteano. If you ask, we can help you choose itineraries on foot or by bicycle, tasting of local wines and foods, cooking classes, markets, fairs and seasonal festivals.

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. ##### Brandon S.

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. ##### Linda Z.

Maison très propre, ventée, équipée de moustiquaires (top) sans climatisation (donc un peu chaude en journée). Nombreux sites de visite proches en voiture. Michele est un hôte très disponible (et francophone) qui a à cœur que tout se passe bien. Il a résolu rapidement un problème de nuisance sonore lié à un voisin lointain.

Stayed 9 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew R. Feb 11, 2019 #### Beautiful Hillside Country House Le Capenne was an extraordinarily beautiful property. We are so glad you opened it to us in the low season of tourism. It was the highlight of our visit to Italy. After looking at the many houses available for rent in the immediate area, the hillside characteristic was one of the traits that sets it apart because of the magnificent view of Montepulciano. Also, the close proximity to Montefollinico and it's very good restaurants was a surprise. La Botte Piena was superb, and we received a great recommendation from Francesco to purchase bistecca from the butcher in Montefollinico, and then we used your wood fired grill in the kitchen to cook. It was so much fun. You and your family have a very special place and we appreiate that you opened it to our family. Our memories will last a lifetime. ##### Matthew R. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### thomas w. Sep 15, 2018 #### Just what you need ... ... when you are expecting to spend a gorgious time in Middle-Tuscany: Montepulciano always in sight, out in nature, below a quiet, typical hill town, Montefolonico, an hour-long hike away from Montepulciano and, of course, enough places to visit in the area anyway. The house (Banditello) is beautiful inside and out, and offers all amenities at a very high standard, but spares you tv or pool. We had a perfect vacation! ##### thomas w.

Sep 1, 2016 #### Incredibly Beautiful House 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 don't 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. ##### Daphna K.

Dec 12, 2015 #### Garden of Eden in Tuscany A lovely week in a gorgeous setting. The house was clean and well furnished, and exactly as advertised online. The only drawback was---it was so cold and rainy for May! For the wealthier renters, you might want to add the restauranat La Chiusa in Montefollonico to the list. It's one of the best restaurants in Italy! ##### VbezShjJlSdPOk+NOz6Co61WHsTroTQe4xD0letfnk9+15NVEmRTQOK8aOJoISDSOTZ6RqlfXX0LxB2jo4GA9mZF631gyloYw8wr V.

We stayed in the Villa Banditello this past July, and it was the perfect base from which to explore the neighbouring hill towns of Montepulciano, Montefollonico, Pienza, Siena, etc. The villa is 5 minutes outside of Montefollonico (great restaurant here called 13 Gobbi, where the owner/chef makes home made fettuccini in a hollowed out peccorino cheese rind, scraping the melted cheese down into the pasta .. yum!). It is situated in its own vineyards and olive groves, and is beautifully appointed, right down to a wood oven (in addition to the regular one). The kitchen was very well equipped, the washing machine worked perfectly, bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, bright and clean, and the views . . . well they were pretty much "storybook"! Michele personally spoke to us on the phone as we arrived, to be sure that we had all we needed. The housekeeper was there to greet us, and showed us everthing we needed to know. There is lots of room for parking. Furnishings, books and art are plentiful and tasteful. It really is a home away from home. There was even a bottle of the vineyard's own red wine waiting for us on arrival. Thank you Michele and Cristina! We would like to return this summer again in July! We will contact you! ##### Karolyn R. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean T. Oct 5, 2014 #### Une semaine paradisiaque Nous avons passé une semaine de rêve dans la maison Banditello. Tout a été parfait et même mieux que ce que l'on avait pu imaginer avant d'arriver. L'accueil par Maddalena sur place a été excellent et les propriétaires ont été très attentifs-à distance par téléphone- au fait que nous soyons très bien dans leur maison. Celle-ci est parfaite, elle a beaucoup de charme, elle est très propre avec tout le matériel nécessaire-notamment en cuisine. Sa position géographique est excellente, elle permet des sorties faciles sur Sienne, San Giminiano et quantité de charmants petits villages à une heure de route. Sa position en pleine campagne mais très peu éloignée du village de Montefollinico est idéale, découvrir ses environs immédidats à pied et à vélo est très agréable aussi. Bref, après cette semaine paradisiaque, nous savons que quand nous prendra une envie de Toscane, nous retournerons à la casa Banditello. ##### Jean T.

Nov 10, 2013 #### Beautiful Villa with amazing views We stayed in this villa for 5 nights in April and had a most wonderful time. The house was spacious and clean and beautifully decorated. When we arrived, it was late afternoon and the view with the sunset took our breath away! It was more beautiful than we could ever have imagined. Our time here was so peaceful. We loved every minute of it. We had a little difficulty following the hand drawn map but the housekeeper was very helpful and we followed her in the car. The owner, Michele, just happened to be up from Rome while we were there, so we were able to meet him. He was a lovely gentleman, very interesting and pleasant with lots of information about the area. He was helpful and also left us in peace to enjoy our holiday. There are two houses on the property, very close together. Lucky for us, no one was staying in the other house while we were there. We went for walks and drives in the area. The nearby village is lovely with restaurants and a small grocery store. We stayed in the larger house. There was one main bedroom and 3 twin bedrooms. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and excellent shower (an italian style - hose in the bath). The kitchen was well-equiped with lovely glassware and crockery. The heating was a little bit difficult to understand how to work, but once it worked it was perfect. We used the open fire which was cosy. There is a table with comfy chairs for eating al fresco with a spectacular view of Montepulciano and fields and forests. You definitely need a car to stay here. It's off the beaten track which means it's very quiet and peaceful. It took us about 2 hours to drive here from Florence. There is no internet and there is no tv. We loved our stay here and recommend it highly! If we could come back to Italy, we would definitely stay here again! ##### Alice N.

Nov 5, 2013 #### Adult family and friends We were a group of eight adults... two of us celebrating our 50th anniversary and our adult children and friends. We occupied both Banditello and Mulinello for most of a week...the capstone of our two weeks in Italy. To say that the accommodations were superb would be an understatement! Both casas were warm and inviting, beautifully furnished and appointed, with modern kitchens and bathrooms and lovely, comfy furniture- much of which was antique. We cooked nearly all our evening meals in the fabulous kitchen of Banditello, and gathered around the fireplace in the evenings to share stories of each day's activities. The younger generation walked to Montefollonico for groceries, while the seniors spent time taking in the views of the vineyards and olive groves that surround the casas on all sides. Some of our days were spent touring the nearby medieval hill towns and monasteries. Other times we enjoyed just reading, relaxing, and soaking up the atmosphere. The owners, who live in Rome, checked in each day by phone, and the local caretaker, Maddelena, also paid a short visit each day to answer any questions (how to operate the washing machine, the heating system, etc.) She was delightful! It has long been a dream of ours to stay in a 'real' Tuscan farmhouse, and these beautifully restored homes exceeded our greatest expectations. Everything was perfect. We hope to return to Le Capanne di Sopra! ##### Nan S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim D. Jul 26, 2013 #### A Quiet Jewel in Tuscany My spouse and I had stayed at Banditello previously and had a marvelous time, so we tried Mullinello this time. Our hosts were magnificent and helpful as usual and the lodgings were exceptionally clean and welcoming. At one point, Michele even apologized for the rain! The setting was superb and we took long quiet walks along the country roads lined with woods and pastures and vineyards, ate dinner and bought groceries at nearby Montefollonico, and made day trips to favorite spots in Tuscany. Such gracious and friendly people made it certain that we shall return. This is the spot if you want quiet to read and talk and you need the view of Montepulciano across the valley. Many thanks to our hosts for their hospitality to Americans who want to be Italian! ##### Jim D. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juan Jose B.

The local village Montefellonico has bank, supermarket and excellent restaurants to suit all pockets; we particularly recommend 13 Gobbi. Michele is a kind helpful considerate landlord; he left us one morning a wonderful bowl of fresh green figs for breakfast. If we visit that part of Tuscany again we certainly will want to stay in Banditello and will recommend it to others.

May 23, 2010 #### Fabulous time!! We rented this house in the heart of Tuscany for 4 nights in May, 2009. We had five adults staying at the house. What a treasure to find! This house is immaculate and beautiful. The views from the house are stunning. I must admit that the driveway is a little tretcherous, but it isn't anything that can't be handled. We had a lot of fun seeking out and visiting the nearby cities as well as heading off the beaten path and discovering some cities we didn't know about. During our stay they were filming the Twilight movie in Montepulciano! The house itself is beautiful - I wish I could take the home back to the US with me to live in. The accomodations were more than suitable and comfortable and anything we needed was available to us. We can't wait to come back and visit and we will definitely stay here again. We've already recommended the house to several people planning to vacation in Italy. Thanks!!! ##### Jamie L.

Abbiamo soggiornato a casa Banditello per il periodo di Pasqua 2004. Nonostante il tempo sia stato inclemente per buona parte della nostra permanenza abbiamo potuto ammirare la bellezza delle colline della zona e la cura con cui sono conservate. I dintorni della casa sono in parte coltivati con vigneti e uliveti. Noi abbiamo acquistato alcune bottiglie di Chianti dei Colli Senesi e di olio prodotti da questa terra, la qualita' e' ottima, e ne abbiamo approfittato sia durante il nostro soggiorno, sia a casa come ricordo dei bei giorni trascorsi. La vegetazione e' ricca e varia, in giardino si trovano varie piante aromatiche utili per cucinare ed il giardino e' visitato da diversi uccellini, siamo rimasti colpiti dall'upupa che si avvivinava spesso per beccare alcune briciole e dal canto del Cucu'. La posizione della casa e' invidiabile, oltre al profilo di Montepulciano non si vedono altri segni di civilizzazione, il parcheggio delle nostre auto e' appositamente un po' defilato, non si vedono strade asfaltate in prossimita' e le abitazioni piu' vicine si trovano sulle colline circostanti. L'interno di casa Banditello e' molto accogliente e luminoso, i mobili sono di prima qualita' e molto funzionali, la cucina e' fornita di qualsiasi utensile inoltre, biancheria, lenzuola e pulizia iniziale e finale sono compresi nel prezzo. Il piccolo borgo di Montefollonico, arroccato sulla collina alle spalle di casa Banditello e' molto tranquillo e ospitale, ci siamo trovati subito a nostro agio. Ci sono ancora piccole botteghe e ristoranti dove e' possibile consumare ed acquistare prodotti caratteristici della zona realizzati con cura e passione da veri esperti. Consiglio vivamente casa Banditello anche per la spendida zona in cui si trova, tra la Val di Chiana e la Val d'Orcia; noi abbiamo visitato tutta la zona e abbiamo scoperto panorami unici nei colori freschi della primavera! ##### Anna Maria C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Playacar](https://www.expedia.ca/Playacar-Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-n6209538-0-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Villa Cicolina](https://www.expedia.ca/Montepulciano-Hotels-Villa-Cicolina.h2527290.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Gate Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Golden-Gate-Hotel-And-Casino.h41247.Hotel-Information) > > [Hu Firenze Camping In Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Firenze-Camping-In-Town.h18331768.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Beach Club Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Ocean-Beach-Club-Hotel.h15041616.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Moosehorn](https://www.expedia.ca/Moosehorn-Hotels.d3000468895.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Marriott-Niagara-Falls-Fallsview-Hotel-Spa.h120155.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham North Bergen NJ/NYC Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Jersey-City-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-North-Bergen-NJNYC-Area.h856099.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Bed-And-Breakfast.d180002-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Venice Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Venice-Beach-Hotels.0-l6068501-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Torre a Cona Wine Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Rignano-SullArno-Hotels-Torre-A-Cona-Wine-Estate.h42059842.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Banff Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Fairmont-Banff-Springs.h13652.Hotel-Information) > > [Castelfalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Montaione-Hotels-TOSCANA-RESORT-CASTELFALFI.h16117482.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Barga-Hotels-Renaissance-Tuscany-Il-Ciocco-Resort-Spa.h1064090.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cosmopolitan](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Cosmopolitan.h1463136.Hotel-Information) > > [Kruger Shalati - Train on the Bridge and Garden Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Kruger-Shalati-Train-On-The-Bridge.h55540892.Hotel-Information) > > [Terme di Saturnia Natural Spa & Golf Resort - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Manciano-Hotels-Terme-Di-Saturnia-Natural-Spa-Golf-Resort-The-Leading-Hotels-Of-The-World.h6488645.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton CHIC Punta Cana, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort & Casino – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Royalton-CHIC-Punta-Cana-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h8717923.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Aruba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Aruba-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d9-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Borgo Pignano Tuscany](https://www.expedia.ca/Volterra-Hotels-Borgo-Pignano.h8677240.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco](https://www.expedia.ca/Montalcino-Hotels-Rosewood-Castiglion-Del-Bosco.h2173539.Hotel-Information) > > [The Muse New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-The-MUSE-New-York.h533673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tobermory](https://www.expedia.ca/Tobermory-Hotels.d59192.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Lincoln (YFC) to St. John's (YYT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yfc/yyt/fredericton-to-st-johns) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yyz/delhi-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Whitehorse (YXY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yxy/kelowna-to-whitehorse) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cdg/toronto-to-paris) ### Cars > [Car rentals in British Columbia](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-British-Columbia.d11117.Car-Rental-Destinations) ### Packages > [Scotiabank Saddledome](https://www.expedia.ca/Scotiabank-Saddledome-Southwest-Calgary.d6072173.Vacation-Attraction)
