Independent holiday country house in Tuscany

Originally a flour Mill, built two hundred years ago, close to a stream that flows alongside the house; the façade is typically Tuscan, being built of stone and rock. It's an isolated house among olive groves, garden, and lawns; beautiful view of the Chiana valley.

There is a large scenic porticoes terrace, the true focal point of the summertime lifestyle, with a dining area, chairs, tables, barbecue. The living area is located on the first floor, whereas the bedrooms are located on the ground floor.

The first floor is accessible via an interior stone staircase or directly from the rear terrace. The kitchen is furnished & well equipped, with every modern comfort. It serves as dining room with its original old stone fireplace. The large living room has a double bed-sofa, satellite TV and direct access out on to the large, porticoed
terrace and into the garden.

On the ground floor, there are 2 double bedrooms (one with an en-suite bathroom), 1 bedroom with two single beds and a study-bedroom with one single bed. The 3rd bathroom is upstairs.

Beautiful Tuscany Farmhouse

This property was all that we were looking for in our stay, close to a town Arezzo, and also in the countryside with lovely views, lovely walks nearby on property through the olive trees. The property was very well kitted out in the kitchen with all one needed to cook up a meal for your family. The outside patio was lovely for spending time with the nice weather we had for our stay . Zinaida was such a lovely host we so enjoyed our chats when she was around and the information she provided was much appreciated on places of interest, restaurants and events taking place locally. I would highly recommend visiting this property for anyone who enjoys the simple country Tascan lifestyle.

Tuscan Charm and Charming Host!

If you have a vision of what a typical Tuscan farmhouse might look like, then this is it! In fact, it’s an old mill, not a farmhouse. We were two couples and stayed for three weeks in May in this wonderful place. For us, the highlight was sitting on the large patio, listening to all the birds, hearing the church bells every half hour (but not at night!), listening to the babbling brook and looking out over the olive groves and across the Val di Chiana. The patio provided ample shade if the sun was too hot or during an occasional shower. It took a while to get used to the upside-down arrangement with the bedrooms and bathrooms on the lower level. The main staircase is fairly steep and a little uneven but there is a handrail on one side to provide support. The outside staircases provide an easier option to go between floors. The bathroom for the “mill” bedroom is quite small but there is no danger of falling in the shower – it’s too narrow! I said the highlight was the patio but, in fact, the highlight was wonderful Nadia, the host. I can’t imagine a more charming host – helpful and responsive when needed but very concerned about not intruding. Nadia, her husband Roberto and son were often working around the olive farm tending to tasks that had been delayed by the cool wet spring. Although you can take a walk through the olive groves or up the steep road past the church, it is not possible to walk into a nearby village which means you need to use the car to pick u

Dream Tuscan Vacation

We loved our stay at this villa. It more than fulfilled our dream to stay in an authentic Tuscan home. Nadia was a warm and gracious host who gave us recommendations upon arrival and responded quickly to any questions or issues that arose. As it is a working olive farm, the family was often around working on the vast property during the day. It was never an issue as they gave us plenty of privacy and we were mostly away during the day visiting the beautiful towns in Tuscany. The views from the house were lovely, especially from the kitchen windows. The house and kitchen were fully equipped and we ate breakfast in as well as cooking a couple dinners. The house worked great for 2 couples, but had 2 other sleeping areas if you had a family or other group. We would return here and highly recommend this amazing property.

A characterful, comfortable property

This is a charming, quirky property, so layout is unusual. We enjoyed using the big kitchen and dining on the terrace upstairs with views. As for bedrooms downstairs there is plenty of space with three bedrooms (and the master has a tiny fourth bedroom in an attic space). The bedroom with ensuite only has a thin door connected to another bedroom, so is less private, while the more private master bedroom (the one with the attic space) has no ensuite. But all was prettily done up and very comfy. Check in was easy - our host was so welcoming and helpful. The grounds of the property are huge and she came and went some days to care for the grounds but made sure we had privacy. We were there in the middle of a heatwave (nobody's fault) so could not make the most of exploring the olive groves, enjoying the hammock, and using the terrace in the hotter part of the afternoon. But in less extreme weather this is an ideal and very inviting place.

True Tuscan Home

Mulinmaria was chosen because I wanted to experience a Tuscan home in the country side. It turned out to be a perfect choice. It is surrounded by acres of olive trees with a creek running beside it. You could hear church bells and even a Rooster crowing in the morning. Mulinmaria's location is ideal for day trips to Cortona, Greve, Montepulciano, Monteriggioni, Pienza, Arezzo. The outdoor terrace was very inviting, we wish the weather had been warmer to utilize it more. The host, Nadia is a lovely, kind lady who was very helpful and accommodating. Everything we needed to make our stay comfortable was available. We have been vacationing in Italy for one month and the last place to call home for a week was Mulinmaria. It's wonderful to bring home happy memories of our time in Italy and the experience of our time in this lovely Tuscan home.

Wonderful stay

The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do. It's close to Assisi, Perugia, Firenze, Siena, Montepulciano, and of course Arezzo. It is very rural despite being a ten minute drive to all the shops we needed. All we could hear were the wind, crickets, and the churchbells from the church whose steeple we could see at the crest of the hill (and peace and quiet is very important to us). The house was bigger than we needed, with a very large and well appointed kitchen. The grounds were lovely. We especially loved sitting out on the covered patio, all day and evening. Nadia was very kind and considerate to us. Since it is so rural, we would definitely recommend a strong insect repellent! We found one that worked at the nearby Esselunga. Grazie mille, Nadia!

This property is impossible to praise as highly as it deserves

This villa is stunning in every way. The period details in every room, doorway, ceiling, floor, doors, etc. are absolutely spectacular. The outdoor patios are very welcoming spaces. The sunset views are awe inspiring. The home is very roomy and comfortable. All modern amenities are at your disposal. The host, Nadia, is the most lovely woman. She is so welcoming. So helpful. She is there if you need help deciding what sights to see or recommendations for restaurants, etc. But, she gives her guests their privacy. Nadia and her husband, Roberto, bought the property many years ago. Originally a grain mill from the early 1800s. They renovated it into a family home and raised their two children there. You can see how much this home means to her and her family. Especially, when she glows while sharing their story. Although her children are grown and she and her husband live elsewhere in Arezzo, they all still think of Mulinmaria as 'home'. It warms my heart to think that they still celebrate holidays at the villa...all gathering in the place they call home. The property is well maintained...olive trees, flowers, plants. It really is a wonderland. You can easily see the pride taken in maintaining this villa. Ciao!

Excellent place to stay in a beautiful part of Tuscany

We stayed here for all of April and found the old mill an excellent base from which to explore Arezzo, Cortona and several other historic towns in the area. The location was also great for us as we enjoy hiking and there are plenty of quiet peaceful trails through the olive groves and woods right from the back door and certainly in April there were no tourists or other hikers. The beginning of April was still a little chilly and we would have appreciated the owners heating the house up a little more in preparation for our arrival, but we soon got that sorted. The GPS location on VRBO appears to be incorrect and we found the directions less than clear, however when we called eventually Nadia told us that the mill was marked on Google Maps and given that we found it successfully. Very attractive old property, perfect location, Nadia and Roberto were helpful and considerate hosts - definitely a place to be recommended!

Best villa under the Tuscan sun!

Best experience ever! If all we did in Tuscany was stay at the Mulin Maria, life would have been good. But Nadia made it even more wonderful. She spent a day teaching us how to make ravioli, then she and her husband shared dinner with us. Pair that with church bells, the sweet sounds of the nearby stream, and the surrounding rolling hills full of olive trees, and it was the perfect experience. Highly recommend.

Great Value for a Tuscan base.

MulinMaria is a quaint converted mill just off the main highway between Arezzo and Cortona. It is a good base to visit Tuscany with good access to Florence , Arezzo, Siena, the Chianti region and Val d’Orcia. The property is best suited for up to two families totaling 7 persons as there are two double beds and three singles. It is a great value and the hostess Nadia could not have been kinder.

We especially loved the large terrace where we spent our mornings with coffee and days/evenings with wine overlooking the magnificent views of the olive trees and Tuscan countryside. It was perfect. As nice as Mulinmaria is perhaps the best part was Zinaida. She is an absolutely charming and lovely person.

Tuscan Charm and Warm Hospitality

This property is exactly as pictured online and so warm and charming. We really enjoyed everything about our stay in Mulinmaria. Nadia and her husband Roberto and their son are wonderful hosts and so welcoming. We got the opportunity to spend time with them cooking and learning about the history of their home and where they were brought up in Italy. Nadia also shared history about the area of Tuscany and Arezzo. The house is surrounded by olive trees on a hill away from town, so it is quiet and peaceful.

500 Years Worth of Charm

It's hard to believe Mulinmaria (the name of this lovely home) is only 200 years old when there is clearly 500 years of charm here. My husband and I stayed here with our 4 children (ages 15, 12, 11 and 9) after Christmas and had the most wonderful, memorable time. Mulinmaria is a beautiful stone home nestled warmly in an olive grove. The history is rich and palpable, one bedroom even has a grist stone in it, the woodwork, the stone work is all custom and gorgeous. We didn't expect to love the little town of Arezzo so much, we asked the owner (she's truly an ambassador of Arezzo and of Tuscany) for some guiadnce beyond what the books tell you...we couldn't believe when Nadia offered to meet the 'old city'. We had a lovely afternoon and learned so much about the history of this very important town. But back to the house, our kids felt like they were in a castle (so did I), they sang, played hide and seek, explored the olive groves, etc....I enjoyed cooking, reading and relaxing with my husband. We cannot wait to come back to Arezzo and will certainly come back to Mulinmaria....I can honestly say we loved our stay, the house and the people touched our hearts.

Bellissimo

Zinaida was such a wonderful hostess from the first moment... It was like we were staying at our Grandmother or Aunts home for the holidays. Everything was really neat and clean. It was so impressive that she has taken what use to be a mill and created a home with everything from coffee, sugar, bottled water, hairdryers, clothes washer, table linens, extra bedding and plug converters to make your stay comfortable and easy while traveling far from your own home. The views are spectacular and the grounds well kept. It is a perfect place for a family to reconnect and relax.. I only wish we had more time to spend there... Thank you for your kindness and hospitality...Arrivederci! fino a quango ci incontriamo di nuovo....
