Description

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. Surrounded by a private garden, the property enjoys panoramic views across rolling hills and vineyards — the kind of landscape that makes Tuscany so unforgettable, especially at sunset.

Outdoor living is an essential part of the experience here. 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.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Angelica and Claudio have thought of everything when renovating this barn into a modern yet authentic villa. Angelica was always available to help us with questions about our stay and also recommend places to visit and eat. Sitting at the table looking at the views, listening to the chickens was stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lots of room for 7 people.

Agency Answer:

Dear Sallyan ,
It was such a true pleasure hosting you and your family at Capanna di Elfo!
We really hope you had a wonderful time at the cooking class at the castle, and that this vacation stays in your hearts as a truly memorable experience. Claudio and Angelica send their warmest regards and want to thank you for taking such great care of their home.
We truly hope our paths cross again one day. Until then, take care and we wish you all the best!
Warmly,
Francesca, Ambra, Claudio, Angelica and all the BoM staff

Our family had an amazing time staying at Capanna di Elfo in Siena. The villa was perfect in every way and our hosts Angelica and Claudio were very attentive. Francesca and Ambra of Best of Mas were wonderful. They coordinated two exceptional wine tours, which included their driver, Luca, as our chauffeur for the day. They listened to our wine preferences and chose wineries that offered both white and red selections to accommodate our groups’ preferences. Each winery presented beautiful charcuterie boards with the tastings.
They also arranged a family dinner at the villa with Chef Ricardo. He was excellent and spent time explaining his cooking techniques and showing our granddaughter how to make homemade Tagliatelle. The meal was outstanding.
Francesca and Ambra were really great to work with and I would highly recommend using Best of Mas when planning a trip to Italy.

Agency Answer:

Dear Pat, it has been a pleasure to have you and your family in Villa Capanna di Elfo and it has been a real pleasure for me and Ambra, to help you to project your trip ion Italy: you are a wonderful person and we both really look forward to your come back.
take care of you

Capanna di Elfo seems like it was perfectly designed for us. Every bedroom had an ensuite bath, the kitchen had everything you could need, the décor was authentic and homey, and the views from the property were breathtaking! Claudio and Angelica were perfect hosts and even though we don't speak Italian and they speak little English, we made it just fine with Google Translate!

Agency Answer:

Oh Jeff, to meet you and your friend has been for us a real pleasure: not enough the time spent together, we hope to have a second chance to have you as our guests.
What is it sure, is that you arrived as guests and you have departed as friends.
Take care of you
Francesca, Ambra, Claudio and Angelica

The home couldn’t have been more perfect for us. Angelica greeted us when we arrived and was always available for us if there was anything we needed. The home location made it very easy for us to travel to several parts of the Tuscany area with ease. I had no issues and would highly recommend this home for anyone staying in the Tuscany area. I would definitely stay here again when I travel back to the Tuscany area.

Private feedback : Francesca Was great for not only setting up the property. She handled all the transfers for my whole family and rental cars to be at the home when we arrived. Everything that was set up was just perfect. I would highly recommend Best of Mas for any of your travel needs.

We had a wonderful stay at Capanna Di Elfo! The owners, Angelica & Claudio, went out of their way to make us feel welcome. This villa is beautiful, comfortable and the views are spectacular in all directions! Francesca & Ambra from Best of Mas stopped by on our first night at the villa to welcome us. Without a doubt, Capanna Di Elfo was our favorite rental in 40 years of travel and the Best of Mas team is unbeatable! We will return to this spectacular villa!

Agency Answer:

Thank you to you for having been such lovely guests and for the trust in us and in our team.
We look forward to meet you again, we really hope so!

We hope to have you back for new adventures together!
Take care of you and be back!
