Our Beautiful Tuscan Sun
Review Submitted: August 9, 2008
Date of Stay: July 2008
We loved Tuscany and the Mulino di Rimaggio is a very special place indeed. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and forests and nestled at the bottom of a secluded valley, the mill provided the ideal place for our family to enjoy the peaceful beauty of Tuscany and well as being a base to explore surrounding villages and towns like San Gimignano, Sienna and Florence and the stunning scenic area of Chianti.
The owners Francesca, Roberto, Gloria and Antonio could not have been more welcomming. We arrived to a delicious meal and right from the start of our holiday, we knew we were on to something special.
The mill and surrounding gardens and pool were spacious and immaculately maintained and we felt like it was a real home from home. The swimming pool, shaped like the old mill pond and keeping in character with the mill is where we whiled away the hours relaxing and watching the profusion of butterflies and small lizards going about their daily business.
We had italian cookery lessons from Francesca and Gloria, with our children (and us adults) making pasta and tiramisu the traditional way. We enjoyed the food so much that we made it again on our own, having mastered the skills.
Francesca gave us a guided tour of Florence which was a great way to appreciate the art and culture of this wonderful city. The Boy David statue by Michael Angelo was the highlight along with the frescos and gold mozaics in the baptistry.
The food and wine was great everywhere we ate and there was always something for everyone!
We would definately recomend the Mulino di Rimaggio to anyone who wants to base themselves in the peaceful surroundings of Tuscany but yet wants to be close enough to the sites of interest.
We will be back
Nicola, Richard, Jennifer, Daniel, Julie & Jane.
Owner's Response: It is always a great pleasure to work for people that have the sensibility to appreciate our efforts to keep the property confortable and hospitable. Our goal is to make our guests feel at home and enjoy the beauty and the art of the area.
Touring Florence with you was a treat for me considering your interest and passion for art and history; thank you for appreciating our fun cooking day too. Gloria and I enjoyed to spend some time with you and we realized that food is the best way to socialize !
Your beautiful yellow rose will be a permanent memory of your stay at the Mulino.
We hope to host you again in your Tuscan country home.
