“The Most Wonderful Place” Words cannot describe my experience at Mulinmaria, but I will try... My original stay was in 2005 with my family. I was studying abroad in Florence, and my parents and siblings came to visit me. Instead of staying in the city, we opted for the country. My parents found Mulinmaria through their travel agent, and picked it primarily for its location. It truly is the ideal spot for easy access the Tuscan hill towns, as well as the larger cites such as Florence, Arezzo, and Siena. At the end of the day, after hours of walking around cobblestone streets and climbing hundreds of church steps, Mulinmaria served as a respite where we could relax, take in the earthy Tuscan air, and reflect on the beautiful memories we were making. On the second night of our stay, my parents hired Mulinmaria's owners, Nadia and Roberto, to cook for us. Roberto, a native Tuscan, grilled Val di Chiana steaks over an open flame, finished Tuscan style with coarse salt and rosemary. Nadia, a Bolognese-born Tuscan-transplant, baked pasta and prepared Ribolita (google it!), a Tuscan specialty. We were also treated to Nadia's freshly-baked focaccia and Roberto's homemade wine, as well as a number of vegetables that were picked that morning right outside the kitchen window. For dessert, Nadia baked a walnut cake and served us vin Santo. The meal was unforgettable. It was delicious and made with such love. At that dinner, we got to know Nadia and Roberto, and quickly learned that we were among truly special people. They are such incredibly welcoming, gracious, and generous people.

It was an opportunity to get to know the Tuscan landscape and culture, to improve my Italian language, and to get in touch with a deeper sense of myself. I have since returned several times, and I know that Mulinmaria will always be special to me. I
