Il Molino
Once an ancient olive mill, the stones are now used as imaginative sculptures in the gardens of lavender, rosemary, fig and pomegranate trees. These are framed by rows of silver-green olive trees, dark green cypresses and tall umbrella pines backed by woods of Mediterranean oak and chestnut trees. Situated 15 minutes drive from the nearest town of Umbertide, Il Molino lies some 500 metres above sea level with spectacular views across the rich farmlands of the Niccone Valley to Monte Acuto beyond.
Medieval Perugia, Umbria's capital, as well as beautiful Lake Trasimeno, Assisi, Montone and Gubbio are all within 45 minutes drive. With the Tuscan border only 10 minutes drive away, you're also in easy reach of the Etruscan hilltown of Cortona, the beautiful vineyards of Chianti, the ancient towns of Montepulciano Siena and San Gimignano, as well as the birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence. If all that sightseeing sounds too much, you can of course just relax in the private swimming pool. Il Molino is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the splendour of rural Umbria and neighbouring Tuscany.
