About this property
Farmhouse in an old mill in the beautiful hills of Chianti.
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. Easy to reach, it is well suited for a day trip with the famous Piazza del Campo, the shell-shaped, where the famous Palio is held. Castellina in Chianti, with its expanses of vineyards and the most famous vineyards of the area, is only 5 km. From Monteriggioni also one of the most beautiful stretches of the Via Francigena, which in medieval times brought pilgrims from Canterbury to Rome. From the farmhouse you can reach the route in less than 5 minutes walk. 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, wine tours and tasting of the famous local products and fine Chianti wines, are just some of the activities you can do. Moreover, every year the Medieval Festival of Monteriggioni attract thousands of people. In the first two weekends in July the city, within its walls, it is animated by numerous events such as music, theater, dance performances and live historical re-enactments. Not to be missed. 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. In the Sienese Chianti area, renovated semi-detached house in an old water mill of the eleventh century, named Molino Bianco, used by Benedictine monks. 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. Monteriggioni, 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 meters 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. Very close is the famous Via Francigena, Which in medieval times brought` pilgrims from Canterbury to Rome. From the Mill you can reach the route in less than 5 minutes walking.

A relaxing little house and pool to relax in. Fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and two floors, with a small living room. Best of all is the big garden and the pool. Walking distance to a village with amenities and Monteriggioni castle. Last but not least: very friendly and helpful owners. Thanks for the great stay!
A beautiful place to stay and very friendly hosts; Roberto and Rafaella will do anything to make your stay unforgettable.
The house has everything you need and the pool is nice and beautiful.
Lots of nice places to visit in the neighbourhood.
I can surely recommend this Farmhouse!!!!
Appartement conforme a la description ,chambres confortables et spacieuses .La cuisine manque un peu de fournitures et les escaliers peuvent se révéler difficiles pour certaines personnes . Environnement agréable , bien situé pour visiter la région .
Gîte au sein d'une grande propriété ancienne et très bien entretenue, assez proche (en voiture) de tous les sites emblématiques de Toscane. Le gîte, très propre, est meublé avec du mobilier ancien qui donne l'impression d'arriver dans une vieille maison de famille (odeur de moisi comprise mais qui s'estompe rapidement une fois la porte ouverte).Le gîte ne donne pas sur la piscine, il faut contourner le bâtiment. La piscine est superbe, en pierre, très bien intégrée, grande, profonde, la terrasse pour les repas, très agréable (mais pas à côté de la cuisine, donc, avec plusieurs volées de marches à monter/descendre). Depuis le haut du jardin, très belle vue sur Monterrigioni. Les hôtes sont très agréables, plein de bons conseils donnés par whatsapp (ils n'étaient pas sur place).Le petit défaut : la route en contrebas est assez bruyante dès le petit matin, ce qui oblige à fermer la fenêtre de la chambre et ne permet pas de profiter des heures fraîches (ou alors avec des boules quies ?); les dernières heures de sommeil pouvaient alors devenir étouffantes en cette semaine caniculaire, malgré le ventilateur.Mais nous avons passé un formidable séjour.
Wunderschöne Ferienunterkunft mit historischem Flair
Wir haben mit unseren zwei Jüngsten hier eine wirklich schöne und erholsame Ferienwoche verbracht. Raffaela und Roberto sind zwei wirklich wundervolle und aufmerksame Gastgeber. Immer hilfsbereit und zur Stelle, dabei aber nie aufdringlich. Die ehemalige Mühle liegt wunderschön am Fuße eines kleinen Berghanges und vom Garten aus kann man sogar einen Blick auf die Festungsmauern von Monteriggioni erhaschen. Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und passend eingerichtet. Alles, was man braucht ist vorhanden. Vom Espresso bis zur Grillkohle oder dem Ausdrucken der Eintrittskarten für die Uffizien in Florenz (danke, Roberto!), blieben keine Wünsche offen. Dem Alter des Gebäudes entsprechend sind die Zimmer vielleicht nicht ganz so hell, wie in einem Neubau, aber nachts kann man dafür bei sehr angenehmen Temperaturen schlafen, da die dicken Mauern doch ein wenig vor der Hitze schützen. Alles ist sehr gepflegt und sauber, mit schönen historischen Möbeln eingerichtet. Außerdem habe ich selten in einer Ferienwohnung in einem so bequemen Bett geschlafen. Der Hit, nicht nur bei den Kindern, war darüber hinaus der wunderschöne Pool, an dem man, neben dem Baden, beschattet sein Mittagessen genießen oder einfach auf der Liege im Schatten der großen Sonnenschirme ausruhen konnte. Mulin Bianco liegt mitten im schönen Chianti und man gelangt sehr schnell zu allen Touristenattraktionen der Toskana. Darüber hinaus haben uns unsere Gastgeber auch immer perfekt beraten, was die kulinarischen Highlights der Region angeht oder welche Ziele man unbedingt ansteuern soll. Ein kleiner Wehmutstropfen ist vielleicht die nahegelegene Landstraße, die uns aber in keinster Weise gestört hat. Insgesamt ein sehr erholsamer und schöner Familienurlaub zu dessen Gelingen unsere Gastgeber nicht unerheblich beigetragen haben. Vielen Dank an Raffaela und Roberto. Wir werden uns sicher wiedersehen! Stefan und Kerstin
leider haben wir unser gebuchtes Domizil in Monteriggioni am nächsten Morgen schon wieder verlassen.
Die Wohnung war sehr dunkel, ziemlich kalt und hat äußerst unangenehm gerochen.
Außerdem bestand die spärliche Möblierung des Aussenbereichs aus 2 klapprigen Plastikstühlen, einem schmutzigen Tisch sowie einer gebrochenen Bank.
Obwohl der Vermieter sehr nett war, wollten wir auf keinen Fall unseren Urlaub dort verbringen.
Wir waren sehr enttäuscht, denn so etwas ist uns bei vorherigen Buchungen über Ihr Portal noch nie passiert.
Zum Glück haben wir noch eine andere Unterkunft gefunden.
This was an interesting stay based on the age of the property. Roberto was very helpful. He made reservations for us, checked train schedules etc. If you require wifi this may not be a good choice for you as it was not readily available. Otherwise this historical property was good.
It was not easy to find so be prepared to call for good directions.
Raffaela and Roberto were wonderful hosts. The house was built in 1100!!!! It has a great history. The house has been modernized to make life very comfortable but yet retains its Romanesque character. We felt like we were living in a castle. It's in the heart of Tuscany. Close to sites and big grocery stores. Highly recommended. Thanks!!!
Raffaela and Roberto are wonderful hosts. They were very helpful during our stay and helped us feel so welcome. We really enjoyed returning after a day of sightseeing to swim in the beautiful pool and sit in the gardens.
This is a lovely house with use of the owners pool. The owners were extremely helpful and the house was reasonably well equipped. We loved being able to walk to local restaurants (we particularly loved Cantinale) and to the train station which enabled us to visit Siena. We saw some amazing birds, eagles, beeeaters and goldfinches over and in the garden.
The house is on the SP1 road and unfortunately this is quite busy, in particular in the mornings and evenings.

History and charm
For our first trip to the area this might have been the perfect place to stay for a couple nights. The house is managed by a wonderful couple that helped us at every turn with anything we needed. The property is rich in history, which the owners preserved through a tireless remodel. The grounds are meticulously maintained and if you're there at the right time of year you can enjoy a great pool. As we came late in season we did use the fireplace for additional warmth but don't worry, the wood pile is well stocked. We were 15 minute walk from Monteriggioni, 10 minutes to a couple really good restaurants and a grocery store. We were also a very short drive from Siena. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking to stay a few nights in this area.

Wie im alten Schloss
Das Ferienhaus in bester Ausgangslage für Besichtigungen (Siena, Florenz, Chianti) gefiel uns sehr gut. Es war alles nötige da und man fühlte sich wie in einem alten Schloss mit Kamin und antiken sehr geschmackvollen Möbeln. Das Haus ist ideal für zwei Paare oder eine Familie. Man kann gut darin kochen und sich gemütlich vor den Kamin setzen. Im Sommer gibt es einen Swimmingpool, der mit Quellwasser gespeist wird. Innen ist alles liebevoll restauriert mit gutem Blick für Details. Die Vermieter wohnen im anderen Haustrakt und geben gute hilfreiche Tipps und sind sehr nette Leute.

Très beau gîte en Toscane
Séjour très agréable à Monteriggioni, idéalement situé pour découvrir les beautés de la Toscane.
Le gîte est magnifique et très bien équipé. La piscine est somptueuse. Seul bémol : la petite route qui passe à côté est plutôt bruyante car la circulation est relativement importante.
Pour le reste, l'accueil de Roberto et Rafaella est charmant et ils se mettent en quatre pour rendre le séjour agréable. C'est réussi ! Nous recommandons vivement cette adresse de charme.
