Caterina and Stefano welcome you to Il Mulinaccio

Il Mulinaccio is a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom villa, and 2 double bedroom apartments. The villa is available for rental with the option of one or two of the apartments. Look around our website - we hope you won’t be able to resist and you will choose to come and stay with us.

You will be staying in traditional Tuscan comfort among the vineyards and castles of Chianti. Located between the historic Chianti towns of Radda and Gaiole and within easy driving distance of Florence and Siena, Il Mulinaccio is the ideal base for your adventure in Tuscany.

We are Australians who are living our dream in Tuscany and making our villa available for rental to guests who also want to experience the Chianti lifestyle. We are committed to offering the highest standards and the greatest Tuscan experience. We are on site to help guests in any way they may wish but, if privacy or extra room is required, we are just as happy to disappear.

Stefano welcomes The Hon Tim Fischer AC, Australian Ambassador to the Vatican and former Deputy Prime Minister, to Il Mulinaccio.

The Property

The property consists of the main house with five double bedrooms and two double bedroom apartments in an adjacent building.The villa features large, traditional rooms and covers an area of 390 sq m. We occupy the Michelangelo apartment if it is not booked. If it is booked, we vacate the property.

The house was completely renovated in 1999, and great care was taken to ensure this was done sympathetically, respecting the historical structure of the building.

Wherever possible authentic local materials were used so that, whilst the property has all the comforts of a modern villa, many of the original features – including meter thick walls, brick and timber ceilings, cotta tiled floors and open fireplace – still remain. This makes Il Molinaccio a genuine Tuscan experience for guests.

Il Mulinaccio is situated in 5 acres of park like grounds. There are beautiful established trees and shrubs as well as maintained lawns, a swimming pool and a practical kitchen garden. There are outside areas for sitting or eating. A swiftly flowing stream runs through the property on its way to joining the Arbia river, flowing to the Mediterranean. The stream is part of a trout breeding program for the Province of Siena so our trout are protected.

The kitchen garden is located close to the villa and guests are encouraged to use the produce from the garden during their stay.

The large swimming pool with diving board is set in a secluded part of the garden, surrounded by woodland. It is reached by crossing a wooden bridge over the river that runs through the property. The area surrounding the pool is furnished with loungers, sun umbrellas, tables and chairs. There is a BBQ, bar fridge and covered table with gazebo.

Both the main house and the two apartments have far reaching views towards the Castle of Meleto and the hilltop medieval village of Vertine. Il Molinaccio is in a great base for sightseeing around the Chianti Hills. In addition the attractions of Florence and Siena, Arezzo, Pisa, San Gimignano, Montalcino and Montepulciano, are all within a drive of an hour or so.
