Perfect as a tranquil getaway for small groups or for an extended family, the accommodation is arranged on 2 levels which you can use together or independently - each level having own entrances and shaded portico/pergola.

Exclusive use assured: we only rent to one group at a time.

A friendly, tranquil rural location - cypresses and sunflowers, vineyards and olive groves. Beautiful walks, great views - just by walking up the hill from the house.
The mill is located on a quiet access road which leads up the hill to a handful of farm properties.
Located where the foothills of Alpe de la Luna meet the Upper Tiber Valley, it's a perfect base for walking, painting or cycling, and for enjoying the traditional life and cuisine of historic cities and hill towns. Local farm produce is abundant, and you can walk from molino to shops and bars in San Giustino, and to restaurants there or in the next valley or hill. The walled medieval town of Sansepolcro is 5km by road.
