4, 1 & 1 bedrooms, 4, 1, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 10, 2 & 4(2+2)

Il Mulino di Castelvecchio is a beautifully renovated and uniquely decorated sixteenth century stone mill which is able to provide accomodation for up to 16 guests. The property consists of three separate guest buildings; the large main house “Il Mulino” (mill) and two other small stone houses, 'La Vicinale' and 'Il Torrente' as well as a modern swimming pool, all situated in the peaceful surroundings of the Cesana river valley and four acres of forest. Wrought iron entrance gates access the entirely fenced grounds (including the parking area). The unique configuration of the guest houses enables our guests to enjoy either their privacy and/or group gatherings. Il Mulino is an ideal choice for several couples, or families, or larger family groups who wish to vacation together in a superbly furnished 'home away from home'. Both La Vicinale and Il Torrente are the perfect size for a romantic escape for a vacationing couple, or a delightful retreat for a couple with one or two children.

Our best decision this holiday

Review Submitted: June 21, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
We stayed at ‘Il Torrente’ in June 2011. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, but well situated retreat in Tuscany.

Jay and Donna gave us a very warm welcome, they are lovely people, work hard, and are passionate about their business. They are everything you hope for when you arrive somewhere new.

The first thing you notice is the attention to detail in the accommodation, after previous lodgings in Italy we felt we had finally struck gold. The building materials are top class and the general decor is tasteful and eclectic; this is no Ikea filled box without a personality (The online pictures do not do it justice). The kitchen is smart, modern and very well equipped, lovely shower and bathroom too. The TV is no flatscreen wonder, but we didn’t go to Tuscany to watch TV!

Private outdoor space is compact, but this is a retreat not a resort. The pool area is kept very clean and the pool itself appears to be filtered freshwater, a great change from mouthfuls of chlorine. The general surroundings of the forest and stream alongside give a great feeling of seclusion and relaxation.

Florence, Pisa & Lucca are all within easy reach for daytrips, the closest of major towns Montecatini - useful for those looking for a train, feels a bit of a cheap tourist trap. For those not willing to dally in Italy’s fine deli shops there is a COOP supermarket a few minutes drive away in Buggiano, with a great choice of food and essentials.

We arrived by car, the drive is initially daunting down the steep hill, but presents no real problems as long as you take it easy. Parking behind automatic gates (you have the key) mean you feel secure even in this remote location.

‘Il Torrente’ was by far the best of our 4 stops in Italy this summer. It gives great value for money and made us feel relaxed and cared for; highly recommended.

Owner's Response: We sincerely thank Steve and Clair for their kindness and care in having shared their positive experience at our treasure of a holiday home, "Il Torrente" at the "Mulino of Castelvecchio", with the Home Away and Holiday-Rentals UK team and with clients researching for the perfect vacation home.

We give top priority to care. Care in giving our clients serenity, happiness and comfort in our holiday homes. The warmth and quality of a real, lived in home - away from home!

We are happy and very gratified when a client shares satisfaction and enthusiasm regarding vacation period spent at our property with other travelers.

Will continue to do our best!

Thanks again S and C,

Donna and Jay

Mulino di Castelvecchio, Easter in

Review Submitted: March 30, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2010
We spent a quiet and peaceful week at Easter in the house " Il Torrente" at the Mulino di Castelvecchio. It is a lovely house and the surroundings are very beautiful. We enjoyed sitting outside immersed in the sounds of the forest, the nearby river and the singing of birds. We found it to be a totally relaxing place!

It is an easy drive from the property to the cities Pisa and Lucca and only a 5 minute drive to Montecatini, from where you can take a train and in 30 minutes be right in the center of Florence. Train tickets are cheap and the parking lot in front of the railway station makes parking simple.

Everything is close by, but a car (preferably small) is necessary, unless of course you just wish to use the many walking paths in the immediate vicinity, exploring, walking, relaxing and enjoying this fascinating rural tuscan area.

Our hosts Jay, Donna and her husband Joe are very friendly, extremely helpful and do everything they can to ensure that you enjoy your holiday.

We thank them for a lovely Easter vacation!l

We do hope that we will be able to return some day!

Owner's Response: How kind of you to share your positive experience at our treasure, our holiday home, the Mill, with other travelers and holiday makers seeking a trustworthy, valid, unique and comfortable "Home- away from-Home" for a special vacation.

It is always so extremely gratifying to hear from our special clients in this unexpected manner!

Thank you ever so much for your care and thoughtfulness in sending your lovely review and helpful comments to the Holiday Rental team.

Easter is now again just around the corner!

Your note brought to mind fond memories, we wish you lovely 2011 spring and summer season and all the best.

Warm regards to you both,
Donna , Jay and Joe "

Capodanno

Review Submitted: March 11, 2011 Date of Stay: December 2006
Capodanno - ......... C’era una volta un vecchio mulino trascurato e triste che credeva di concludere i suoi giorni cosi .... fino a quando arrivarono gli “Arcangeli”, che con loro amore, lo trasformarono in un luogo da favola .....................

Grazie a loro noi abbiamo trascorso giornate meravigliose, lasciandoci avolgere dal calore e della passione che questa famiglia ha per questo luogo e per i suoi ospiti!

Nota Bene: - Contiamo di rivederci!
Intanto saluti da Napoli
