Mulino di San Loreto is a stone built mill lovingly restored using local traditional materials. It now benefits from gas central heating, double glazed Chestnut windows, a wood burning stove and open fireplace making it ideal for winter stays. That said, being stone built the Mill is cool during the hot summer months making it the ideal retreat for any season. The bedrooms are beautiful, each with its own luxury en-suite shower room. We are ideally located just 5 mins from Bagni Di Lucca where you will find a range of superb restaurants and bars, shops, thermal spa + thermal swimming pool and sports facilities. Should you wish to 'eat in' your hosts Mel and Gill are happy to provide home cooked evening meals or barbeques on request and are always happy to meet your requirements to make your holiday a very special one.

A place of paradise in Tuscany. The accommodation is 5 star with incredible attention to detail. The owners Gill & Mel are incredibly welcoming. We highly recommend their "Mill House" as a home from home. It has been wonderful to return here after an exhausting day of sightseeing. Alison, Terry & Sue South Africa

Why the owner chose a home in this location
When we first saw the Mill, we immediately fell in love with it. It was a disused paper Mill in a very sad state of repair. We saw the Mill's potential, to make it into a beautiful home and holiday accommodation. We spent a lot of time on the drawing board deciding how it would best work and then proceeded to get all the Italian permissions. The work started the following year. We had a very good local geometra, who kept in regular contact with us in the UK. We spent the next 2 years flying backwards and forwards overseeing as much as possible. We eventually got the home we dreamed off.
The location is perfect for holidaymakers, having all the main Tuscan attractions not too far away. In the winter months you can enjoy the ski resort Abetone, or relax at the local spa...
Unique benefits of the property
The benefits that guests enjoy are all the modern comforts of the Mill, being able to eat alfresco on a beautiful warm summers evening and enjoying a barbecue. Also being able to sunbath and cool off in the pool on long hot sunny days, with different areas to sit and enjoy the countryside. In the winter months, after a day exploring, or skiing, you can come back and enjoy a roaring log fire with a glass of vino. Also we have many good restaurants nearby, the beautiful spa town of Bagni di Lucca, lots of hilltop villages to explore. The local train station is within walking distance to the Mill, giving access to Lucca, Florence, Pisa and Viarregio. Again these places are not too far to visit by car. The local people in the area are very friendly and more than helpful to the tourists.
