Wonderful Hosts

We arrived exhausted and Caroline the owner, rescued us. She graciously drove us to meet our family in Passignano for dinner. She went above and beyond to make us welcome. Gave us some food the night we arrived for our breakfast the next morning . She is a hostess par excellence. The property is beautiful and well kept. The rooms clean and comfortable.

Beautiful historic place to stay.

We stayed here for 5 nights at the beginning of May. We were made most welcome by Caroline and Pino and the dogs. Caroline gave us a tour of the grounds and the tower. We had booked the room in the tower (purely on price) but for convenience we were offered the larger Molinello which has its own patios both front and rear. The house itself has a lot of history. The facilities are excellent with a pool, bikes and a vegetable garden. Cortona is a short drive and has some nice restaurants and plenty of history. We are really pleased we chose Molino di Bordone as it is an ideal location for day trips or just chilling. Thank you Caroline and Pino for being such great hosts. Charlie and Lesley

Beautiful, idillyic and incredibly peaceful

We thoroughly enjoyed out stay, the farmhouse and the surrounding property was beautiful. So quiet and peaceful whatever the time, yet very closely situated to great restaurants, towns and cities. The hosts were incredibly pleasant and helpful, made us feel very much at home. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

Absolutely charming Tuscan retreat

We arrived at this little slice of heaven after 3 busy days in Florence. We were thrilled with this beautiful restored farmhouse and the peaceful gorgeous setting. The owners were out of the country, but their sweet helpful young adult children could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Our flat was well equipped, and the bed was fantastic, with a nice cool dark room, we finally got a good nights sleep after 2 weeks in Europe. Great location to explore all of Tuscany, or just relax by the pool. Fantastic restaurant close by, both kids work there and it was the best meal we had. Stop at the market, get some good meat, cheese and wine, help yourself to their wonderful garden, and settle in. Our only complaint was that we didn't stay another week.

Schönes Apartment in herrlicher Landschaft

Das Anwesen ist wunderschön, die Blicke in die umgebende Landschaft herrlich, der Pool super zum Schwimmen und Lesen und Sonnenbaden. Die Torre Suite befindet sich im ersten Stock des alten Tabakturms und besteht aus einer kleinen, aber gut ausgestatteten Küche, einem großen und gemütlichen Schlafzimmer mit sehr bequemem Bett und einem Bad mit Badewanne. Das Wohnzimmer im oberen Stockwerk gehört nicht zur Torre Suite, sondern kann theoretisch von allen Mietern benutzt werden (in unserer Zeit hat das Zimmer allerdings niemand genutzt, auch wir nicht). Der Sitzplatz vor der Tür ist schön, ausreichend für zwei Leute und mit genug Privatssphäre. Die Vermieter waren während unseres Aufenthalts nicht vor Ort, aber ihr Sohn Antonio hat sich sehr nett um uns gekümmert und hatte jede Menge gute Tipps zu Wanderungen, Essen und Unternehmungen. Die Atmosphäre ist ungezwungen und relaxed und sehr freundlich. Für uns war es eine perfekte Woche im Paradis, wir haben die Umgebung zu Fuß erkundet und die Landschaft genossen. Wir würden sehr gerne irgendwann noch einmal unseren Urlaub in der Molino di Bordone verbringen. Das einzige, was noch wichtig zu erwähnen ist: die Nobiles haben drei Hunde (und zwei Katzen), die frei auf dem gesamten Gelände herumlaufen und durchaus auch des Öfteren mal bellen. Die Hunde sind sehr freundlich, aber wer Angst vor Hunden hat wird sich hier eher nicht wohl fühlen.

Molino di Bordone fulfilled all of expectations and then some. Pino, Caroline and family made our stay comfortable and memorable. Our unit (Il Torre) was well equipped and beautifully updated. The grounds were lovely and all tenants were extremely friendly. We would definitely recommend this beautiful place in Tuscany.

Molino di Bordone -- beautifully tended

The setting is quiet and centered, yet not far from shops, restaurants and the autostrada. Our apartment (Il Torre) was clean and well equipped, The owners, Pino and Caroline were unfailingly warm, friendly and full of helpful information. We would heartily recommend a stay here.

Thanks for your hospitality!

We were referred to Il Molino by friends who have had family reunions here for many years. Now we know why they unequivocally recommended that we look no further for a place to stay in Tuscany. Not just a place to sleep and leave our stuff but to feel, dare I say “at home”, during our stay. We spent a week at the Nobile’s comfortable Tower Suite, with our teenage daughter. We were made to feel at home from our initial encounter with the Nobile’s children, who showed us our accommodations, made dinner recommendations and reservations, and filled us in on that evening’s entertainment, a festival in which they were participating in town. From then on, all we had to do was to express a concern or desire and Caroline or Pino would be quick to make suggestions about road trips, sights, or unique experiences, such as a dinner at the home of a local chef/farmer. It was like being at home, but in a new and exciting environment. Using this as our home base, we were able to explore most of Tuscany’s, and some of Umbria’s, historical and enchanting cities via easy one day round-trips by car. We wished we’d had an extra week to explore all the sites and gastronomic experiences. And, maybe another week just to hang out by the pool.

Foi muito bom ter estado por quase uma semana no Molino di Bordone. Eu, minha filha e minha esposa ficamos na Torre Suite, e podemos dizer que é uma ótima opção para quem quer aproveitar as maravilhas da Toscana e da Úmbria. O lugar é muito agradável, bem mantido e os proprietários simpáticos. Tem até uma horta e dá pra andar de bicicleta. Trata-se de um posto estratégico para explorar o coração da Itália.

The perfect place to end a long holiday

This apartment was our 8th we booked through Holiday rentals on this trip and it was the perfect place to relax and unwind after a few months touring. The farm is set in a well maintained garden with a very inviting pool. It is only a few minutes from the local village and about 10 from Cortona. It is an ideal location to explore the countryside or just chill out. Both Caroline and Pino and their children were perfect host and made us feel very welcome. We stayed in the smallest apartment which was adequate for our needs though those wanting a bit more room might find one of the others better. While apartment didn't have airconditioning you didn't need it even though it was in the 30sC every day, the thick walls and the overhead fans kept it very comfortable. The Tuscan country side is just magic and we couldn't imagine a better place to stay and enjoy it followed by a dip in the pool on your return. M & H from Australia

We were delighted everything was as you expected. It was fun to see you made good use of the outdoor seating area in front of the Tower. Kind regards, Caroline

Perfect location for a Tuscany/Umbria adventure

Caroline and Pino are consummate hosts, who have done an amazing job in restoring their property and the grounds. It's right on the Tuscany/Umbria border - and it's easy to get to Florence, Siena, Perugia etc. The apartment was just right for the vacation - and would definitely stay there again. Try their olive oil too!
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar, 2020
It is April and almost Easter. The gardens are looking beautiful and ready for the season. Tulips and hyacinths are blooming; mimosa and forsythia are flowering. Our olive oil tastes good on toasted tuscan bread or in soup.

Charming time in charming place

My husband and I spent unfortunately only a few days in such a graceful property! We enjoyed peace into a sunny atmosphere and get pleasure from viewing and smelling and listening wonderful nature and landscape all around!!! Sweet hills, olive groves, emerald fields, flowers beds, trees, pond full of singing frogs, delightful petting animals! Our stay in Torre Suite was magic because Molino di Bordone is a historic tuscan jewel brought to life with sense and sensibility by Caroline and Pino Nobile! Thanks to Nobile family's warm welcome...we will come back!!! Emilia and Massimiliano

This is becoming a habit

As you drive down the track lined with Cypruss trees and Molino di Bordoni comes into view your first reaction is "this is too good to be true - it's beautiful". We've stayed here 3 times now and still get that initial buzz arriving at Pino & Caroline's place. Our latest visit was the best ever. We were lucky to have such good fellow guests, we really clicked with each other. Daytime we went our separate ways, evenings we shared our experiences and stories over a glass or two of wine on the patio. The weather was so warm we sat out chatting 'til late every night! Pino & Caroline have a super family and the warmth of their hospitality made all the difference to our stay. This is the kind of place where you can do as much or as little as you want. You'll have a great time.

Exploring Tuscany and Umbria

This is a beautiful place in the country. It is on the border of Tuscany and Umbria. We used it as a home base to explore Florence, Sienna, Assisa among others. The walled city of Cortona is in the hills above. The owners Caroline and Pino were very attentative to our needs and whims. My wife and I rented an apartment style room for a week. It has a kitchen and bathroom with washer. If you don't like to be in a hotel in a busy city and want a country experience that is close to all the great attractions of central Italy, this is a great place.

Dear Rob and Siti, We are delighted you found the peace and tranquillity you were looking for. Certainly we are very close to all the lovely Tuscan and Umbrian hill towns with local produce such as cheese, cured meats, bistecca fiorentina and a whole host of wines to taste. And our local train station was handy for day trips to Rome and Florence. We hope to see you again soon. Regards, Caroline and Pino
