Visit the heart of rural Italy: La Val di Pierle. An experience not to be forgotten! Immersed in the green of the Tuscan countryside, a stone's throw from Umbria, an eighteenth century mill has been restored preserving, through the exclusive use of traditional materials and construction methods, its original charming character. Perfectly in tune with nature, the Mulino delle Capannacce is a haven of calm and comfort; a corner of paradise, situated at the foot of the castle of Pierle, surrounded by an endless panorama of woods, olive-groves, vineyards, ancient ruins of medieval castles and Romanesque churches. Nature, landscape, culture, art and good food, are all offered by the Mulino delle Capannacce and the Trattoria Mimmi, our own traditional restaurant. Il Mulino delle Capannacce is an Old Mill which has recently been restored and has been converted into three lovely apartments with a private swimming pool. The Old Mill is only 800 metres from Trattoria Mimmi's.

Guest comments
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Il Mulino delle Capannacce for a two week period of time in May of 2007. It was absolutely perfect for our 2nd visit to Tuscany. As we were traveling with another couple, we had rented the upper floor of the Villa. The accommodations were absolutely fantastic, it was homey, very clean and extremely comfortable. The location was great for traveling to all the places we had planned to visit or re-visit. fact, if there was anything at all that we needed, Giovanni was Giovanni & Laura were charming and gracious hosts who made you feel like you were part of the family. The sumptuous meals prepared by Mimmi were truly unforgettable. We quickly learned that you had to bring a healthy appetite when you went for lunch or dinner. Without a doubt, you will not go away hungry! Oh, so good!! This was a wonderful experience and should we return for another Tuscany holiday, we would definitely stay at Il Mulino. Joel & Karen Finley
