Photos and Description of this Lucca holiday house 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, sleeps 4

Il Mulinetto is a welcoming and joyous house that lifts the spirits the instant it is entered. Hidden behind a giant spruce, next to a mill stream with seasonal waterfall, the house is entirely private and tranquil. There are no other houses in sight. The old mill served the local inhabitants for generations. It has been converted into a dwelling with great care and affection in 2005 by master craftsmen using traditional materials. It has a fully equipped modern kitchen with a lava grill, dishwasher, five burner hob with oven, etc. two air conditioned, double bedrooms, one with king-sized, one with double beds, both with large, tiled en suite bathrooms, comfortable sleeping and luxurious bathing assured. There is a separate laundry. The large sitting room has a stone monastery fireplace, flat screen satellite TV, extra sleeping area with a shower room. Fresh herbs grow in the garden area. Meticulously clean, always fresh.

Il Mulinetto di Torre is in an extremely pretty rural area not far from the walled city of Lucca. It is in the foothills of the Apuan Alps. There are many olive groves and vineyards; in fact, the house is set in its own 20 acres of olive trees and woods. There is a winery in the valley below open to visitors. For horse back riders, there is an equestrian centre nearby for rides through the woodlands and along the river for from one hour to three day treks.

Further details for this holiday house rental in Lucca, Italy

Natural Surroundings and Local Activities: Chestnuts can be gathered in abundance in the autumn (late October/early November) and wild porcini mushrooms can be found a few days after rain from June to October but you need to know where to look. Wild flowers grow along the roadsides. There are local festas (sagras) during the summer and the nearest one offers free food and wine. It takes place at the end of July. At others, a modest sum is charged for the theme dish of each sagra. Not many tourists attend these so that it is a pleasant peek into the Italian way of life.

Services and Restaurants: There is a supermarket about 4 kms away, also a chemist and hairdresser. A services and restaurant guide is provided.

Activities: From a nearby village it is possible to take short horse back rides or two-three day rides into the mountains.

Magical

S &T Edinburgh
Review Submitted: February 14, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
Arrive at Il Mulinetto and pinch yourself. It is beautifully restored, spacious, luxuriously furnished and equipped, and set in an idyllic garden with olive trees all around and the mill stream running past the house. It is tempting just to stay put for the whole holiday, but the lovely city of Lucca is close by and well worth exploring. There are the conventional things to discover (the walls, the bicycles, the squares and churches, shops and cafes) - and some things less so. In the market we found tiny tomatoes, little bigger than redcurrants, with the most intense flavour. You're not far from "standard" Tuscany (Pisa, Florence, Siena) but we really enjoyed driving over the hill to the north and venturing into the Garfagnana, with its fascinating hilltop city of Barga and its unexpected Scottish connections! There's good walking in the Garfagnana as well.

Back at Il Mulinetto, there's a real kitchen for making the most of those fresh ingredients from the market, and then relax after dinner and watch the fireflies. It's magical.

Il Mulinetto, a wonderful experience

ASU Memphis, Tennessee, USA
Review Submitted: February 11, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Just a 15-20 minute drive from one of the most beautiful of Tuscany's cities, the walled city of Lucca, we found Il Mulinetto, a wonderful location for enjoying the pleasures of northern Tuscany. Located in the hills above Lucca II Mulinetto is a beautifully restored and renovated two hundred year old mill having two double bedrooms with large en suite bathrooms. The house is spotlessly clean. Accommodation includes a beautifully appointed kitchen and dining area plus a lovely sitting/living room - in addition there are wonderful areas for alfresco dining or for simply sitting to enjoy the peaceful surrounds. I cannot recommend the accommodation and location of Il Mulinetto highly enough. There are walks around the mill, restaurants in the surrounding hills, a great pizzeria just a ten minute drive up the valley from the village of Torre, and of course there is Lucca. An added bonus are the owners of Il Mulinetto who go out of their way to ensure the high quality of the accommodation and who are helpful in the extreme. What is more for a family or for friends travelling together the cost of accommodation is more than reasonable. I as have said before, I cannot recommend a stay at Il Mulinetto highly enough - we will certainly be repeat visitors!

A peaceful and beautiful hideaway

Galahad Glasgow, Scotland
Review Submitted: February 6, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
This property certainly has a wow factor, from the moment you arrive and park in front of it beside the huge spruce. It is a beautifully restored mill, set in the rolling hills very close to the gorgeous walled city of Lucca.

The doors open onto a very spacious sitting room which is furnished with soft leather seating placed on lovely red tiles. There is a fully equipped large kitchen, including a lava grill, dishwasher and an area for dining. There are two bedrooms upstairs, both with their own fully tiled bathrooms - the one off the largest bedroom was, to quote my husband, 'large enough to hold a dance in'! A laundry room is also upstairs. The house is tastefully furnished with a mix of antiques and modern. We particularly liked the Orkney chair on the landing!

The house was spotlessly clean on our arrival, the towels soft and fluffy, and the bedlinen smooth and fresh. We particularly loved the bottle of delicious olive oil that was there - left by Mark, one of the owners. He was very helpful and friendly, answering our questions about what to see, where to go etc.

The whole house has a lovely airy feeling to it, and it was so good to relax with a glass of wine on the terrace in the evening, listening to the frogs in the mill stream which runs by the property. We were lucky to see a hoopoe and a flock of bee-eaters on more than one occasion.

There is a good selection of helpful books and information on the surrounding area. Lucca is about twenty minutes drive away, and is a must for any visitor. There is a small but well stocked supermarket in the village just a couple of kilometres away from the house.

Il Mulinetto di Torre

Roger and Becky Bristol, United Kingdom
Review Submitted: February 5, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
We had the most fantastic holiday in this house. We stayed for two weeks and did not want to leave. It is clean, extremely comfortable and just a marvellous place to unwind and relax. The house is extremely well-equipped and has a fabulous kitchen which made cooking a pleasure. It is very private; we love bird watching and seeing bee eaters on many occasions was a real highlight. We spent many evenings walking up through the olive groves to the old church at the top of the hill. The views are superb. A car is a must as the house is set up in the hills and there are so many beautiful places to visit. The owner is extremely kind and thoughtful, never intrusive but ready to help if needed. When our car broke down we could not have managed without his help. We really loved staying in this wonderful house and hope to return in the near future.
