General
:
Caprese Michelangelo is the birthplace of the great artist Michelagelo, and is one of those undiscovered Tuscan gems. The stunning setting of the villa, in the small hamlet of Colle San Polo provides a real feel of rural Italy, while the full range of local faciliites are only a short distance away.
Over the summer guests can enjoy 'Dancing Under the Stars' in Capresse.
October is truffle and chestnut season, while November is the when the olives are pressed. Local wine and oil tasting can be arranged at one of the oldest oil mills in Italy. Just imagine tasting the freshly pressed oil sitting in front of a roaring fire, this is just one of the many delights you can enjoy during the autumn in Italy.
