About this property

A beautifully restored 17th century mill with lovely pool

Il Mulino is a beautiful and historic farmhouse dating from the 17th century, and has been lovingly restored with both tradition and comfort in mind. Set in a wonderful location near the little village of Monterchi (near Arezzo) with 3 bedrooms - all en-suite, safe garden, orchard, new fenced pool, great facilities and surrounded by fantastic and unspoilt countryside. Along a slow running stream, Il Mulino (which means 'the mill') was an old water mill. The old mill stones have been maintained. In a great location for shoppers with easy access to Prada and other designer outlets.
Nearby Monterchi is a wonderful hilltop village, traditional and unspoilt. There is a choice of 6 restaurants
Among the many crops grown close to Il Mulino are sunflowers, tobacco and corn.
There are countless olive and chestnut groves, with many cypress trees all around. There are fields of grass for children to play safely, as well as swings and a slide. The pool is fenced for your children’s' safety.

A very high standard of accomodation: Il Mulino is a property with a very high standard of accommodation and facilities. It is managed directly by the owners. In case of any problems, the owners are close by to help. They are there to meet and greet you, show you around the property and help with any needs you have. The difference between a property managed by the owners and a property owned by someone living in another country is huge. Have you ever arrived after a long journey and found the most 'basic' of welcome packs? A half cleaned house? A semi clean pool? These are all things you won't find with us!! At Il Mulino the majority of our guests are repeat bookings. The enjoyment of your holiday is our number one priority. Stay with us to see the difference!!

Things to do during your stay...: Music concerts: In July and August in Monterchi. In the gardens of the Madonna del Parto museum, every Wednesday night, Monterchi is host for music concerts. Covering Classical, Jazz and more. The events are free of charge and after the concerts a buffet is served.
Fashion Outlets: Within an hour’s drive, you can find Italy’s top fashion labels, as well as designer labels from all over the world. Among the names are Prada, The Mall (an outlet covering many designer names), Gucci.

Art & culture: Monterchi is home to the famous 'Madonna del Parto', by Piero della Francesca. The remainder of his work can be found in nearby Sansepolcro and Arezzo.

Erholsame Tage in sehr schöner Umgebung

„Il Mulino“ traf genau unsere Erwartungen an ein Objekt dieser Art. Sehr ruhige Lage, gute Ausstattung, viel Raum, schönes Ambiente und ein Pool nur für uns allein sorgten für sehr erholsame Tage in der alten Mühle. Die freundlichen Gastgeber waren jederzeit erreichbar und gaben uns zahlreiche hilfreiche Tipps. Besonders gefiel uns auch die vielseitige Umgebung, die sich besonders für Radsportler eignet, aber auch für kulturell interessierte Menschen. Fazit: Ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt.

Prachtige plek in Toscane

Een heerlijke oase van rust in Toscane. Perfect om dagen lang bij het zwembad te liggen, maar ook als uitvalsbasis voor bezoekjes aan de vele steden en stadjes in Toscane. De woning is ruim en (terwijl het overdag in Toscane soms flink warm kan worden) heerlijk koel. Er is Wifi maar wij hadden geen bereik met onze mobiele telefoons. Dus verplicht niet bereikbaar! Paul is super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. ‘S ochtends kan je zelf eieren rapen bij de kippen. Wij hebben het erg naar onze zin gehad en kunnen het iedereen aanraden.

heerlijke vakantie

Genoten van deze mooie en heerlijke woning , een enorm prive terrein met een heerlijk zwembad. De vriendelijke en behulpzame eigenaar woont naast de vakantie woning . De eigenaar was erg behulpzaam met wat informatie en goede tips . Deze woning is ideaal voor grotere gezinnen of een groep , veel privacy in een heerlijke rustige en mooie omgeving. Bezienswaardigheden zijn binnen 1 tot 1,5 uur bereikbaar waardoor tripjes zeker de moeite waard zijn . Wij waren hier met onze volwassen kinderen , en iedereen heeft genoten van de mooie omgeving en het geweldige huis inclusief mooi en lekker zwembad. Een echte aanrader mede door de zeer vriendelijke eigenaren die je tijdens je verblijf zelden ziet , maar wel bereikbaar zijn mocht je ze nodig hebben.

Perfect villa for relaxing as a group

Great rustic villa with lovely pool and an excellent host who was full of good local advice. Within reach of many of the tourist spots and local eateries were good. Great place to stay as a group with barbecue facilities on hand and farmhouse kitchen. Would stay there again but hopefully come for longer than a week.

Beautiful Tuscan retreat and perfect hosts

After a crack of dawn flight from Stansted, big mix up with the Hire Car company at Ancona airport, my partner and I were frazzled to say the least by the time we were on the road and heading for Monterchi, the delightful little village where Il Mulino is situated. But any stresses melted away as soon as we started driving down the cypress tree lined dusty road towards this perfect little house. And to be greeted by our hosts Paul & Sofia who live in the smaller house next door. They were wonderful and so friendly - big welcome basket in the kitchen and fridge full of essentials. And within an hour I was in the pool, it was was about 80 degrees, beautiful sunny day and just far too hard to resist! Over the next week or so my partner and I had a wonderful holiday - out sightseeing and driving around during the day (also recommend the Gucci outlet only an hour's drive away near Florence!!) and back to Italian feasts at Il Mulino, bbqs and freshly made pizzas (my partner is a chef). Once or twice Paul & Sofia came over and joined us too. they are a lovely couple with the best behaved children I have ever seen. The house itself is beautiful, airy and very traditional, dramatic views of sweeping hillside wherever you look. Wine lovers paradise of course - some beautiful wineries nearby and you can find some amazing wine deals in the local shops. All in all a wonderful week, full of happy memories, big red wines, fresh pizzas, banter with our lovely hosts, dips in the pool at dusk and days spent discovering hidden Umbria & Tuscany. I would say this place is perfect for couples or families - it truly is a little slice of heaven and I would always recommend. Fond memories indeed for us :)

A great place to get away!

We stayed at Il Mulino for a week in April 2008 and can only recommend it. It is a fabulous property, beautifully renovated and cared for. We were made to feel very welcome by Paul and Sofia (and the dog too!). The kids (aged 4 and 2) loved the space, the open gardens to play in (in complete safety too), the playground equipment and most of all visiting the hens to collect eggs each morning. The surrounding area is quiet by Tuscan standards but full of hidden treasures, and the tourist sights of Siena, Florence and so on are within driving distance for day trips. Not to be missed is the pizza restaurant in the nearby village - perhaps the most unattractive building in the whole of Tuscany, but serving the most amazing pizzas! The only downside during our stay was the weather - overcast and somewhat rainy which meant we didn't use the swimming pool, but in spite of this we still had a fantastic holiday. We will return!

Lovely place

Il Mulino really is as good as it looks and sounds on the website. It is clean, well furnished and in beautiful surroundings. To collect eggs daily, scratch the pigs, stroke the sheep and pick fresh veg was, for us, idyllic. The pool is immaculate and safe for our 3 year old. The owners were there if you needed them but there was complete privacy if you wanted. They were very welcoming, very helpful and very nice. We will definitely return. You must cycle along the Tiber, visit Mr Ghignoni's ice cream parlour and eat at the Castello di Sorci.

A beautiful and peaceful location

I cannot praise Il Mulino enough. Paul and Sofia the owners have created a truly beautiful property in a peaceful area of Tuscany. The fenced off pool and enclosed extensive grounds are ideal for young children to play safely. My daughter (aged 4) loved feeding the chickens and collecting eggs for our breakfast every day along with fresh veg and fruit from the allotment. She had plenty of space to run around and play ball, and she thoroughly enjoyed the swings and slide. The property itself was immaculate and clean with very good amenities and Gina the housekeeper even taught us how to make pasta! Paul and Sofia made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you so much for a very special holiday. We hope to return soon!
