Description
In the Sienese Chianti area, a semi-detached renovated house in an old water mill of the eleventh century, named Molino Bianco.
Antique furniture, precious textiles, exposed beams and warm Tuscan terracotta tiles emphasise the exclusive nature of this historic watermill.
Large private garden with swimming pool overlooking the Monteriggioni Castle is a warranty for perfect relaxing.
The rental property is fully equipped and furnished as is let with the following furnishings: dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, boiler, toaster, hairdryer, oven, TV, iron, frying pans, plates and glasses, cups, kitchenware
Monteriggioni is a small town with stone streets where visitors can discover exciting glimpses of the Chianti countryside, also famous for its Medieval Festival in July: a must in the summer Tuscany.
At 500 mt far from property there is the town of Castellina Scalo, where a supermarket is available, a pharmacy, a bank, a laundromat, some restaurants, pizzeria and all kinds of shops.
Train station of Monterigioni - Castellina in Chianti dists 1 km and is reachable on foot path.
Horseback riding or biking, trekking, hot air balloon rides, visits to art cities such as Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Colle val d'Elsa, reachable in less than 20 min by car, wine tours and tasting of the famous local products and fine Chianti wines, are just some of the activities you can do.
Very close is the famous Via Francigena, which in medieval times brought pilgrims from Canterbury to Rome. From the Mulino you can reach the route in less than 5 minutes walking.
We offer everyone the possibility of a holiday of complete relax, far away from the smog and chaos of the city; a jump in time that brings you back in touch with nature, without giving up the comforts of modern times.
the property is surrounded by a park of 2.000 meters with cypress, acacia trees and Mediterranean flora where time is marked only by the chirping of birds and the sun's path.
10 minutes walk on the bike path from the castle of Monteriggioni; 15 minutes drive from Siena and only 45 km from Florence, 60 from Florence airport..
Il Casale è parte della proprietà denominata Molino Bianco, un antico mulino in pietra documentato fin dall’XI secolo come possedimento della famiglia Lambardi, signori di Staggia.
Come annesso del fortilizio di Castiglionalto, il Molino fu abitato da una comunità di Benedettini fino al XV sec. Numerose testimonianze della loro presenza sono arrivate fino a noi;
Il complesso è stato completamente ristrutturato ma ripropone tutto il fascino medievale nell'originale pavimento in cotto, nelle travi in legno, nelle macine in pietra che servivano ai monaci per la produzione della farina, come pure nell'antico muro della Gora che oggi abbraccia la moderna piscina in pietra.
Il Mulino dista 1 km dal Castello di Monteriggioni, raggiungibile a piedi o in bici lungo la pista ciclabile che corre parallela alla SR 2 Cassia e congiunge la frazione di Castellina Scalo al Castello.
Il Castello rappresenta uno dei borghi fortificati più significativi del territorio, rimasto incredibilmente intatto come se il tempo non fosse mai tascorso su quella collina, dove elegantemente si adagia.
A 15 km c'è Siena, città che rimane nel cuore fin dalla prima volta che la si visita. Facile da raggiungere, ben si presta ad una gita giornaliera, con la famosa Piazza del Campo, dalla particolare forma a conchiglia, nella quale si tiene il celebre Palio.
Castellina in Chianti, con le sue distese di vigneti e le più famose case vinicole del territorio, dista solo 5 km.
Da Monteriggioni parte anche uno dei tratti più belli della via Francigena che in epoca medievale portava i pellegrini da Canterbury a Roma. Dal Casale si raggiunge la tratta in meno di 5 minuti a piedi.
Passeggiate a cavallo o in bici, trekking, voli in mongolfiera, visite a città d'arte come Siena, S.Gimignano, Volterra, Colle val d'elsa, raggiungibili in meno di 20 min, tour enogastronomici, con degustazione dei famosi prodotti tipici e dei pregiati vini del Chianti, sono solo alcune delle attività che è possibile fare. Inoltre ogni anno il Festival Medievale di Monteriggioni raccoglie migliaia di visitatori. Nei primi due fine settimana di luglio la città, nella sua cinta muraria, è animata da numerosi eventi come musica, teatro, danza performance e rievocazioni storiche dal vivo. Da non perdere.
La proprietà è immersa in un parco di oltre 2000 metri con cipressi, acacie e flora mediterranea dove il tempo è scandito solo dal cinguettio degli uccelli e dal percorso del sole.

“A fantastic Tuscany retreat”
We spent 2 weeks in the guest residence and found the location ideal to visit all of the wonders Tuscany has to offer with even a train station that will take you to Siena in 15 minutes within walking distance if you prefer not to drive. Monteriggioni is a short walk away along footpaths and the whole area is beautiful. The property had everything we as a family of 4 needed plus the added Tuscany charm of a traditional building. My children used the pool every day we were there and we couldn't fault the pool area and gardens for appearance and facilities. The owners are very friendly, available when you need them and can offer a lot of help with deciding where to go or on practical matters such as which supermarket to go to. We were also helped out by the owners with a wine tour booking while we were there which we enjoyed thoroughly. We left with a lot of fond memories of our stay and a camera full of beautiful photographs.
