Farmhouse in old mill nestled in the beautiful Chianti hills
The farmhouse is part of the property called Molino Bianco, an old stone mill documented since the eleventh century. As an annex of the fortress of Castiglionalto, Molino was inhabited by a Benedictine community until the fifteenth century .; numerous testimonies of their presence have come down to us; The complex has been completely renovated but once again all the medieval charm in the original terracotta floors, in wooden beams in the millstones that were used by the monks for the production of flour, as well as in the ancient wall of Gora that embraces today modern stone pool. The Mill is located 1 km from the Castle of Monteriggioni, walk or bike along the bike path that runs parallel to the SR 2 Cassia and connects the village of Castellina Scalo at the Castle. The Castle is one of the most important fortified towns of the territory, it remained amazingly intact as if time had never tascorso on that hill, where elegantly lies. 15km away is Siena, a city that remains in the heart from the first time that you visit.

The property is set in a park of over 2000 meters with cypress, acacia trees and Mediterranean flora where time is marked only by the chirping of birds and the sun's path.
