Villa in Siena with 4 bedrooms sleeps 8
Capanna di Elfo is a beautifully restored former Tuscan barn, carefully renovated by its owners Claudio and Angelica to create a welcoming countryside home that combines traditional character with modern comfort. Set in a small rural hamlet yet completely independent, the villa offers privacy, open views, and the peaceful atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside.

The garden features a veranda and shaded dining area where guests can relax in the evening, share meals outdoors, and enjoy the warm colors of the Tuscan sky as the sun sets over the hills. The house offers the charm of traditional Tuscan architecture together with comfortable spaces designed for relaxed stays with family or friends. Claudio and Angelica live nearby and are always happy to assist guests if needed. They also produce their own honey locally and personally welcome guests upon arrival.

My friends and I had an amazing experience at this villa -- the hosts were incredibly responsive when we accidentally locked ourselves out! And the home was incredibly comfortable and just as advertised. I recommend this villa to anyone who wants a peaceful, relaxing Tuscany experience.

Oh Girls! You have been delicious guests!
We hope to have you back for new adventures together!
Take care of you and be back!
This was a perfect house for our family with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The design is brilliant. Our host, Angelica, thought of everything for our stay. The kitchen was well stocked and perfect for our cooking class that we coordinated with Best of Mas. The property is spectacular with incredible views and stunning sunsets. The location is great, close to Siena, and accessible to many wineries. I highly recommend this house! I want to go back and stay longer! Perfect for families and small groups!!

This villa was perfect for us while we were visiting Tuscany. The hosts were so nice and welcomed us with wine, homemade honey, and fresh eggs. The villa was well equipped and spotless. All of us wouldn’t hesitate to go back!
We spent an unforgettable week. Beautiful nature, wonderful Siena, Florence, San Gimignano, villa Capannna di Elfo. Exceptional hosts Angelica and Claudio!

What an amazing Tuscan home. Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay. The house was even better in person than the pictures. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back again!
This was a beautiful and excellent place to stay. The hosts were on hand and so helpful. Narrow streets but easy to get everywhere. The rooms are big, modern facilities and beautiful. We loved our stay here!
Beautifuly restored Tuscan Villa with terrific views. Centrally located for day trips around Tuscany. Villa very nicely furnished with plenty of room for 3 or 4 couples.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The view was gorgeous, and the home was perfect for our family. Our two daughters and their husbands join my wife and I for a trip to Siena.
The villa exceeded our expectations, inside and out. The hosts were gracious and helpful. We felt at home there from the first day to the last. Heartily recommend it!
It is an outstanding property in every way (spacious, high quality rooms, high quality bathrooms, high quality jacuzzi and clean facility) with best location and amazing host (both Angelica and Claudio). You can’t ask for anything better in Tuscany. I would go and stay there again and again.
We LOVED this place! The proximity to Siena (10 mins), the views (rolling hills in every direction, incredible sunset), the outdoor covered patio where we enjoyed a chef prepared dinner and the ample space inside for our party of 5 plus toddler. There were chickens and ducks on the property and a swing set. The beds were comfortable and the water pressure was great with plenty of hot water. We would absolutely stay here again!
This trip was a gift from my husband. I have dreamed of going to Tuscany for many years. Our rental villa was absolutely perfect for our small group. Everyone had their privacy yet we enjoyed each others company. Cannot sat enough good things about our stay.
You won’t be disappointed if you stay here! Fabulous 4 bedroom, 4 full baths, completely updated and very nicely appointed home, we all recommend you stay here. The hosts are very easy to get along with and very welcoming. It is spacious, with nice Tuscan views and close to several medieval cities like Siena, Florence, and Montepulciao. We highly recommend, the best place we stayed in Italy!
We LOVED our stay in the Villa!! Angelica was a fabulous host. The home, the gardens, the views… words cannot describe how beautiful it all was!! There were three couples traveling together, the house was perfectly equipped with everything we needed. Our sunset dinner in the garden followed by time in the hot tub was the perfect way to end our last day there! ❤️
The villa was absolutely beautiful! Great views of Siena and outdoor seating area with hot tub. It was nicely decorated with a well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed several delicious home cooked meals there after days of touring the region. The hosts were lovely warm and welcoming people. Let us pick tomatoes from the garden for our salad. I would highly recommend for couples traveling together. Perfect property!
Great location, beautiful views, house is very nice and comfortable with authentic Italian flavor. The WiFi and air condition worked well for my teenagers. Nice to sit on the back patio area and enjoy family time! The hosts were super nice and even though we spoke English they helped get us any information we needed. We used the coordinator Best of Mas for our winery tours and they we private and amazing! Highly recommended!!! So lovely!
Our stay was the best experience we have had so far. The property was better than described. We agree that the photos only show part of the beauty! Claudio and Angelica were wonderful hosts and accommodating when our travel plans didn’t go quite as planned.
Their home was beautiful, relaxing, and clean. We slept well and were in close proximity to Siena. We hope to visit again one day!
From the moment we set eyes on this place, we knew that we chose well. Not only is it exquisitely beautiful, but it is very comfortable. The setting is spectacular. The owners who greeted us were friendly. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were good too with plenty of hot water in the showers. The kitchen was well-equipped. Al fresco eating made it perfect. We hated to leave and would recommend others to book without any questions.
The house was an excellent fit for our group, plenty of seating, beds and bathrooms. And beautifully clean and well maintained. The hosts were very responsive; we lost heat and power due to a storm, and they addressed it right away. A car is required, the house is 15 minutes from Siena. Children might enjoy the ducks, and the view was amazing. Thank you Angelica and Claudio!
The home was as shown online. Nicely appointed, everything needed to just relax and enjoy the scenery. The beds and pillows are very comfortable, good quality. The property is very well maintained, pretty flowers around, nice seating areas with a beautiful view. Quiet, peaceful area. The location is very convenient for day trips to many of the villages in Tuscany. Angelica was prompt to respond to questions and helpful. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Dear Shelley,
Thank you for your kind words about your experience at our holiday home, we really appreciate it. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and it would be our pleasure to host you again in the future. Best wishes to you all.
We have stayed in many vacation rentals, but none compared to this fabulous home. Angelica and Claudio, along with the team at Best of Mas were fantastic. The home is so beautiful and thoughtfully designed. The surrounding gardens, view, and property made us feel right at home in Tuscany. Easy access to Siena and groceries. We can't say enough nice things about this home and the hosts. Can't wait to return. This will be our go-to spot in Siena.
