We are a Belgian family in love with Italy. Until a few years ago we traveled a lot and saw a lot of the world in addition to all regions of Italy. However, we then thought it was time to have our own place in Italy and we started looking for a house in the region of Tuscany or Umbria.

We searched for a long time and finally found Fondo Caprile, a house that fully met our expectations: Quiet - it is located on a hill and is protected from external noise by natural barriers. A beautiful sight - The sight of Cortona in the distance is fantastic in any daylight. A beautiful swimming pool and above all a house with character. Fondo Caprile certainly has the latter in abundance. The house was renovated by the previous owners with very high-quality materials, while the authentic character was completely preserved.

The fact that there is a large olive grove (200 olive trees) and a small vineyard only adds to the pleasure of being in Italy. This year we picked olives and had our own olive oil made.

We also wanted to live in the vicinity of a traditional village or town. That as well we found with Fondo Caprile - Cortona is about 10 minutes away with a large number of good restaurants. Camucca is 15 minutes away and there we find supermarkets, DIY stores, etc...
And then of course we have all the towns and cities of Tuscany and Umbria, with Sienna, Perugia and Arezzo as the closest ones. But even Florence is easily reachable by train or by car.

The country road to Fondo Caprile serves just two villas, adding to its peaceful location. The road to get there can be a bit intimidating the first time, but we've driven up and down with all types of vehicles (from very small to large with a trailer) and we've never had any problems.
