About the home

Villa Il Molinaccio dates back to the 10th Century when the villa was originally built as a watchtower. Completely restored and refurbished in 1999 preserving the property's history, yet bringing it up to date with all the comforts of today's modern age. Wherever possible local materials were used, which means, that whilst the property has all the comforts of a 21st Century villa, many of the original features still remain, making this a unique place to stay.

The villa is set in five hectares of beautiful grounds with far reaching views towards the Castle of Meleto and the hilltop medieval village of Vertine. The large 'L' shaped swimming pool with diving board is set in a secluded part of the garden, surrounded by woodland. Terraces for outside dining can be found at both the front and the back of the property next to the pool there is a gazebo with table and chairs for 18 and also a brick built BBQ.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The property consists of the main house with five double bedrooms and a barn in the grounds which has been converted into two one bedroomed apartments. The main house has a fully equipped kitchen with oven, hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is a comfortably furnished lounge with open fireplace TV, DVD player and CD player. The dining room has a floor to ceiling arched window and the original bread oven (still working) is set into the wall.

The ground floor double bedroom is located off the dining room. Upstairs there are four more bedrooms three doubles and one with twin beds. Three of the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and the fourth bedroom has a bathroom across the hall. The barn conversion is located near to the house and has two one bedroomed apartments. Both the apartments have double beds a bathroom and open plan lounge/kitchen/diner. One of the apartments has a mezzanine floor where the bedroom is located.

Further details outdoors:
The villa and apartments are surrounded by five hectares of beautiful grounds with mature trees and shrubs, making this a very private setting. Terraces for outside dining can be found at both the front and the back of the property. There is a tributary of the river Massellone which runs through the gardens, however, this is not fenced in, so care must be taken with young children. The large 'L' shaped swimming pool with diving board is set in a secluded part of the garden, surrounded by woodland. Next to the pool is a gazebo with rustic table seating 18 and also a brick built BBQ. The paved area surrounding the pool is furnished with loungers, sun umbrellas, tables and chairs.

Check List
Before setting out on your trip to Tuscany by car we suggest the following checklist.
1 Check insurance cover - make sure you know what to do in the event of an accident.
2 Breakdown insurance - check you are fully covered for breakdown insurance even if your car is new!
3 Remember to drive on the RIGHT - we suggest that you stick a note on your steering wheel to remind you to drive on the right, even the most experienced of drivers should do this!
4 Car Service - check that your car has been fully serviced including tyres and brakes one week before you travel.
