Why they chose this property
The truth is that after 4 months of looking and only 5 days prior to our departure before returning home, we walked through the gates on a wet and wild winter's day and we knew that this was it! Confirmation did not take long. Two steps into the 100 square meter living room and upon seeing the majestic like sculptures of the stone milling wheels with their cogs that towered to the 5 meter ceiling; the search was over!”
What makes this property unique
This is the chance to stay in a traditional historic property dating back to the 14th century. The property is ideally located in a peaceful village but yet offer the perfect opportunity to visit the major sites of Tuscany, such as Lucca, Pisa and Florence
