Tranquil Tuscan farmhouse with pool, garden, views (sole use, 2-8 people)
Halfway up a valley and commanding breath-taking views over the rolling landscape of the Val di Chiana to the mountain range dominated by Monte Amiata, the Casa del Mulino enjoys a secluded setting with no buildings overlooking the house or swimming pool. Pool available most months. See website for more details. This farmhouse, built over 200 years ago and sensitively restored over the past 30 years, stands in extensive grounds. These include a 'secret garden' with statues and surrounded by a wisteria-covered pergola, classically inspired parkland with a 'temple' and monuments, and a woodland hollow with a stream running through it and flowers on its banks. It is a fine location for walks and bird watching. Ideally situated to discover lesser known towns and sites in southern Tuscany and nearby Umbria, it is also within easy reach of the famous centres. Seasonal pleasures vary from birdsong and wild flowers in spring and early summer to the grape harvest in autumn.

Close to lesser known historic towns and sites in southern Tuscany and nearby Umbria, the house is also within easy reach of such famous centres as Siena, Assisi, Arezzo, Cortona, Perugia, Montepulciano and Florence. Rome is only 2 hours away by regular train from the local station. Lake Trasimeno is a 20 minutes drive and offers boating, windsurfing, swimming and trips to the islands. Seasonal pleasures vary from birdsong and wild flowers in spring and early summer to the grape harvest in autumn. The house is in a fine location for walks and bird watching. In addition to the extensive shopping resources of Cortona/Camucia some 3 miles away (and designer outlets in the area), there are local bars and shops, including a pharmacy, and a regular bus route all within 15 minutes' walking distance at the bottom of the valley. Staying at home allows you to relax by the pool (9 x 4.4 x 1.2m) or find a shady spot in the private 3 acre parkland.

Review Submitted: December 06, 2007, Date of stay: December, 2007
'All four of us can say without reservation that the time we spent at the Casa del Mulino this summer was the best of our many family holidays in Italy. It offered a superb home base, a good location with everything from historic sites to good shopping and swimming. Its position in relation to the autos trade was really first rate. No other house we stayed in had such a perfect location. We all had a relaxing time, one of the nicest things being the chance to enjoy the flora and fauna on our many rambles - lizards, fireflies, and so on.'
