Il Mulino
Description
This delightful 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom 16th-century mill house,
with private pool, is surrounded by gentle wooded slopes, with
orchards running down to the nearby river and has beautiful
mountain views.
'Il Mulino' is peaceful, private, and has been restored and
modernised. It also has the benefit of a second kitchen outdoors,
so dining al fresco is so easy!
The house has been renovated to retain its sense of character,
with terracotta floors and exposed beams.
Careful thought has gone into outdoor living, with a good sized
private pool, plus half Roman steps, sunbathing area, and gazebo
for relaxing.
There is also a very large covered pergola with dining facilities
and relaxing chairs, and here there is a BBQ, a further hob and an
outdoor wood oven, and preparation area, ideal for pizzas.
Chilling out in the garden in perfect peace with the only sound to
be heard being the running of the river in the distance has to be
the best antidote to a busy life!

A little about the area
This beautiful restored Mill House, surrounded by a fruit
orchard, and bordered by a stream is the perfect place to enjoy the
marvellous view of the surrounding green mountains. The local
villages of Poggio and Camporgiano are 2km and 4km respectively
from the property, the latter of which has 3 restaurants, bars, an
inhabited castle, supermarket, and very small Monday morning
market. Both villages have train stations for easy exploring.
Castelnuovo, the local market town is a 15 minute drive away, and
the beautiful mediaeval town of Barga is a circa 30 minute drive.
Lucca is a city that can be reached in around an hour or so, and is
a great day out - meander through the narrow streets, cycle around
the fully intact walls, take in some shopping, drink and eat in the
Piazzas, and visit the 99 churches (!). Take a trip to Pisa in 90
mins and Florence in under 2 hours... The real beauty of the area
though is its proximity to two important Protected National Parks,
the surrounding mountains and the hundreds of villages where it
seems that time has stood still.
Garfagnana with its stunning scenery is perfect for walking,
picnicking, relaxing, visiting countless hilltop villages, visiting
the National Parks of the region. Short trips include the ancient
fortress of Verrucole (try your hand at some archery) with its
amazing views, the zip wire park of Buffardello (ideal for a shady
day under the trees) , the lake of Vagli which covers a submerged
village, the Grotta del Vento (the famous Wind Caves), the hot
springs at Equi Terme to name but a few....
This is a little piece of paradise!

We were warmly welcomed by Mr Biagioni, the house and grounds were very clean and well divided. The grounds with pool, garden kitchen, the huge grounds and the stream with waterfall are fantastic. All information was suitable. The property is located in a very quiet mountain valley. Excursions by car are associated with a lot of time and winding mountain roads.
