The Experience

You have utter privacy in this hay barn with a garden, your own pool and gorgeous views. It’s a superb renovation, awash with space and light, true to the building’s age with the finest contemporary dash. Enter an open-plan living area with a TV and comfy sofa, Bose sound system, original art, the odd antique, freshly picked garden flowers. The kitchen is immaculate and you’ll find a Nespresso machine, bottles of the owners’ olive oil, and Vin Santo and biscotti.

Downstairs is a huge walk-in shower with organic extra virgin olive oil soap, then it’s up the open stone stairs to Busatti linens and a sumptuous bed. Outside find lavender bushes and potted mandarin trees, a well-stocked vegetable garden which you are welcome to pick from in season and a lovely terrace for barbecues and al fresco lunches and suppers.

The owners will also cook if given notice – the home-grown vegetables and olive oil are the biggest treat.

Reviews

As I stepped out of the car, I knew I had been here several years ago. I recognized the loggia and the tall fir tree next to it, and the barn beyond. A rush of well-being overtook me. I felt the same awe as when I first inspected the place, yet it now came full circle to really being Special. Kate's welcoming smile and her enthusiasm rubbed off on me, and I felt as if the years had never passed.

We have just returned from the most restful and relaxing holiday in gorgeous rustic Tuscan countryside. The Barn is just the perfect escape.. Kate was the perfect host and could not do more to make you feel comfortable. The Barn has excellent facilities, a superb swimming pool, spotlessly clean and overlooks an incredibly scenic valley and woodlands. The nearby towns of Sansepolcro and Anghiari are typically rustic Tuscan places of interest, with very good links to wider Tuscany, ie Florence, Sienna etc all reasonably drivable in a day. Cannot recommend this lovely place enough..


Peter, Surrey

We were delighted with The Barn – it was everything we hoped it would be: secluded, peaceful and comfortable self-catering accommodation, aesthetically pleasing in every aspect! Our holiday was an indulgent mix of days out and restful days spent entirely in and around The Barn, where we swam in the outdoor pool, looking out over Tuscan hills or read and dozed in the shade of fig and walnut trees. Feeling rested and relaxed at the end of the week, we really did not want our holiday to end.


David, Cowfold UK

Le Caviere is the perfect place to stay to enjoy this unspoilt part of Tuscany. The house has been beautifully interior designed with attention to every detail making for a very comfortable stay. Days spent relaxing on the terrace or enjoying the stunning views from the large swimming pool. Sansepolcro is the perfect Tuscan town and is only 15 mins away whilst Anghiari (20 mins) is one of the most beautiful hilltop towns in Italy. Highly recommended!


Sandy, Williamsburg

Idyllic setting, comfortable and clean cottage, most hospitable and helpful host. The town is close-by but far enough away to mandate a car and keep the retreat serene. The hilltop setting is romantic at every hour of the day, but especially sunrise and sunset. If you are fortunate enough to try Kate Middleton's cooking, you will be in for a real treat...and even luckier if she teaches you how to prepare the dish. We have visited this place in every season except winter, and its beauty and meditative spirit will keep you coming back.


Location

The neighbourhood

You're 500 metres high in Piero della Francesca countryside on a landscaped terrace bordered by olive trees, a scenic pool and an inviting grassy field. Ask Kate about cooking lessons, hiking and biking with a local guide, even hiking with llamas in the mountains. Explore medieval Sansepolcro, a 15-minute drive, for a Romanesque cathedral, fine dining at Enoteca Guidi and much culture.
