Il Molinaccio 10
Location address: Località il Molinaccio - Gaiole in Chianti
Villa Molinaccio has origins dating back to the 10th Century. It was originally built as a watchtower for defence and communication purposes between two castles. Over the following centuries the tower was destroyed and rebuilt in the traditional rural style. Evidence of the buildings past can still be found, especially in the external walls which are over a metre wide in places.
The large 'L' shaped 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 paved area surrounding the pool is furnished with loungers, sun umbrellas, tables and chairs.
Il Molinaccio was bought by the Ricasoli family, owners of the Castello di Brolio near Gaiole in Chianti, who turned it into a mill. The Ricasoli family crest is still in place and can be seen on the main facade of the building. The current owners have completely restored and refurbished both the main house and the barn, preserving the property's history, yet bringing it up to date with all the comforts of today's modern age.
The property consists of the main house with five double bedrooms and a barn which has been converted into two one bedroomed apartments. 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 local materials were used, which means, that whilst the property has all the comforts of a 21st Century villa, many of the original features still remain, making this a unique place to stay.
The villa and apartments are surrounded by five hectares of beautiful grounds with mature trees and shrubs, making this a very private setting. Terraces for outside dining can be found at both the front and the back of the property. There is a tributary of the river Massellone which runs through the gardens, however, this is not fenced in, so care must be taken with young children.
The house is entered through a set of double doors, which open directly into the large kitchen. Downstairs all the rooms have tiled floors and brick built vaulted ceilings. The fully fitted kitchen has wooden units with a built in oven with separate hobs, a large freestanding fridge with freezer section and a dishwasher. There is a built in storage cupboard set into the wall on one side, and a dining table and chairs sit in front of a wooden dresser at one end of the room.
To the left a brick arched doorway leads to the central hallway, and the downstairs bathroom with shower. A door to the right hand side of the hall opens into the main dining room. Another brick arched doorway in the kitchen leads into the lounge. This is a relaxing space with large comfortable sofas arranged in front of the open fireplace. There is a satellite TV with DVD player and a music system. French doors open onto a furnished terrace overlooking the gardens.
To the left hand side of the lounge is a doorway into the dining room. This room is rather special, with its superb floor to ceiling arched window which retains its original ironwork at one end and the original wooden bread oven (which still functions) at the other. In the centre is a large wooden dining table which can seat up to fourteen. Dotted around the room there is a collection of artefacts from the time it was used as a mill.
Access to the downstairs bedroom is off of the dining room. This is a spacious bedroom with a gently curved vaulted ceiling dating back to the time when there was a tower on the site. Comfortably furnished with a double bed, painted wardrobe, chest of drawers, baby cot, TV and a sofa.
The handmade original stone staircase has been carefully restored, and this leads from the main dining room, upstairs through a brick archway to the first floor landing. This level of the house retains the original 19th Century terracotta floors and the traditional beamed ceilings with terracotta typical of farmhouses in this region.
From the first floor landing area, there is access to two of the bedrooms, the family bathroom and the upstairs sitting room. The small sitting room has comfortable chairs and a desk, the walls have fitted shelves and freestanding bookcases filled with books, all arranged around the focal point of the room which is the enormous original open fireplace with stove, this is the ideal place to relax away from the heat of the day.
The master bedroom is to the left of the sitting room, and is a very bright spacious room, with three windows overlooking the gardens and rolling hillside. There is a double bed, large wardrobe, a chest of drawers and TV. It has its own private ensuite bathroom with shower.
The third double bedroom is through the sitting room to the right and has a queen sized wooden sleigh bed, large wardrobe and views over the gardens.
A second double bedroom to the left of the landing has two windows with views over the gardens and a double bed with wicker headboard, sofa, large wardrobe and chest of drawers.
The fourth bedroom to the right of the landing has twin beds with a large wardrobe and very large chest of drawers and two windows with views over the grounds. The large, bright family bathroom located next to the twin bedded room has a full sized bath with handheld shower.
The caretakers can provide assistance with information on the local area, sightseeing and activities as well as booking restaurants and extras such as a chef or baby sitter. They maintain a low profile during rental periods if their assistance is not required. The caretakers stay in the dependence.
In a great location for sightseeing with the historical centres of Arezzo, Cortona, Pisa, San Gimignano, Montalcino and Montepulciano, all within 1½ hours drive.

Sehr schönes und gut ausgestattes Haus, ein sehr schöne Villa. Tolle Küche und Wohnzimmer und goßen Esszimmer. Die Schlafzimmer sind teilweise sehr groß und auch sehr gut Ausgestattet. Jedes Schlafzimmer hat ein eigenes Bad was sehr angenehm ist. Das Gelände ist weitläufig und sehr praktisch für Gruppen, da man sich nicht auf der Pelle sitzt.
Terrasse vor dem Haus ist Praktisch allerdings wäre eine weiter bei Esszimmer auch praktisch.
Das Haus ist auf jeden Fall sehr schön und so stellt man sich eine Ferien Villa auch vor, der Poolbreich ist seperat und durch einen kleinen Fluß getrennt. Somit wieder ein weiter Bereich, netter großer Pool, guter Aussengrill, Sitzbereich ist nett allerdings sehr rustikal.
Beleuchtung ist vorhanden und funktionier sehr gut, das ist besonders Abends sehr wichtig, da das Gelände sehr weitläufig ist.
Ein sehr großes Plus ist, weiterhin die netten und sehr zuvorkommenden Eigentümer, die man eigentlich nicht bemerkt, wenn man nicht will. Allerdings hat man immer einen Ansprechpartner wenn man eine Frage hat.
Es hat ein bißchen den Scharm von einer Burg in Südtirol, es fehlt ein bißchen das Südliche. Weiterhin hat man leider keinen Blick sondern ist im Tal mit Fluß. Ein weitere kleiner Nachteil ist die Strasse die man auf dem Anwesen hört, allerdings bemerkt man diese nur in den ersten Stunden. Der Charktar ist ehrer Rustikal, wenn man das liebt ist es wahrscheinlich das beste was man bekommt. Gästehaus möglich ist auch eine gute Gelegenheit für große Gruppen und mehrere Familien. Eigentlich keinen Hunde ist sehr schade, da so wohl die Eigentümer Hund lieben und auch genügend Platz ist. sollte man auf Anfrage zulassen, da es wirklich kein Thema ist.
Viele gute Weingüter und Resaurants in der Nähe. Beschreibung gibt es ausreichend vor Ort

The owners of the Villa are delightful and will go out of their way to ensure that you, their guests, have the best time you can. If you need help booking a restaurant or finding somewhere to visit, they will have the answer. The number of returning clients we have at the property always shows us agents that it is a place we can heartily recommend to anyone!
The pool is away from the house so young children need to be supervised.
Well positioned within a few kilometres from Gaiole where there are several good restaurants, my favourite is Lo sfizio di bianchi in the centre of Gaiole, it is a really nice bar for cakes and coffee and set menus for lunch and dinner in the winter with more choice and outside seating area in the summer.

The property was even better than we had hoped for. Lazy lunches in chianti hill villages.
What was your overall impression of the accommodation? Beautiful.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises during your stay with us? No.
Do you have any other comments regarding the accommodation or service? Thank you for another lovely Italian holiday.

What were the highlights of your holiday? Fabulous weather; a great reception and a wonderful Australian couple who were more than just perfect hosts; the pool and barbecue were very important to us and worked wonderfully well above all Il Mulinaccio is the ultimate child friendly house and is very elastic. The gardener is a great guy and the maid was not only very efficient but also delightful
What was your overall impression of the accommodation? Ill Mulinaccio is an absolutely perfect villa for a family holiday and we probably wouldn't be able to find a more suitable house for a large family party outside Tuscany
Did you have any unpleasant surprises during your stay with us? Our only unpleasant surprise also illustrates the elasticity of the house and charm of our hosts. Our second week guests turned up a day early leaving us with an additional 2 adults and 3 children making us 19 for a night Nineteen fitted in easily without recourse to additional space and there can be no greater reference for this superb property than the wonderful evening the nineteen of us shared. For a day or two the inability to use our mobiles at the house was an inconvenience but we soon became used to being seperated from easy contact
Do you have any other comments regarding the accommodation or service? This is a quite stunning holiday experience it is only very occasionally that one's expectations are exceeded and this was one of those we challenge you to find another Il Mulinaccio a little closer to our other great passion golf. It would be a good idea to tell other guests about this i n advance

The three generations of us enjouyed our stay. The house is beautiful and very well kept. The garden is spacious and relaxing. We will have many fond memories. The kids chasing white butterflies or splashing in the pool, picking our daily salad from the garden, listening to the sound of the stream in the evening and your discreet but friendly presence was very much appreciated. Thanks for everything.

We couldn’t have found a more beautiful, serene and comfortable place to spend some special time with our cherished friends and family. Il Mulinaccio is a splendid place, surrounded by so much beauty and filled with great energy. Every corner is a haven – from the pool where we enjoyed lazy afternoons to the al fresco table wher we enjoyed relaxing breakfasts listening to the sounds of the creek and watching the kids chasing the butterflies. The warmth of your hospitality and your passion for this land and this place nestled in the heart of Chianti show through all the details that make Il Molinaccio very special. Thank you; we look forward to coming back soon.

Congratulations on the stunning home you have created here in Gaiole. When we visited Il Molinaccio last year it was hard to believe you could make it even more beautiful but you have really added all the finishing touches. You’ve done what we’d all love to do and we can’t wait to return.

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. It was the perfect place for our Tuscan wedding; we wouldn’t have asked for anything more. We will always look back with the happiest of memories of our time here and hopefully one day return.

"As a wedding planner I’m always on the look out for great venues, sadly I can’t take the credit for finding this villa as the bride and groom found it but it’s certainly one that I will recommend to future clients. The villa is the perfect setting for small intimate weddings, it has loads of great spaces to use, which is really important when choosing a venue for your wedding. Whether dining outside, by the pool or in the large dining room your guests will be guranteed maximum privacy plus all the creature comforts you expect. The villa is in a beautiful location and the photographer had a ball taking photos of the happy couple, and the personal chef who cooked the wedding breakfast was really happy with the kitchen, loads of workspace and equipment. The owners were super available to answer any questions relating to the actual wedding day. A perfect location".

This is a magical, beautiful place. I had a most wonderful time relaxing, exploring the stunning surrounding area, swimming, eating and more relaxing. I can’t imagine anyone coming here and not being enchanted. A truly brilliant week.

We had a wonderful stay at Il Mulinaccio. The house and grounds were even better than we anticipated and it was the most relaxing part of our holiday. We particularly enjoyed catching up with old friends in this great atmosphere and hopefully we will do it again.

Il Mulinaccio was my dream come true. A dream for my family to come together, a dream of a lifestyle, a dream of a country and a dream of a home. I fell instantly in love when I walked into the house. It has a really good feel about it. Thank you for making our stay such a memorable one. Please prepare for our return.]

Just magnificent. Great location in Tuscany with wonderful hosts and superb R and R after busy, noisy Rome. Many thanks.

The accommodation was superb, comfortable. Best of all was the camaraderie, the conversations, lunches, dinners and reflection on many subjects common to us all. We had so much fun here.

It took months of planning to find the right house for our family reunion. Il Mulinaccio was PERFECT. It lived up to all our expectations and some. Our Christmas together was wonderful and we spent the week together cooking, drinking local wine, walking, playing and more cooking. We ate like kings and queens all from your wonderful well stocked kitchen. The herb garden came in very habdy as did the wild rocket. We had fantastic meals together.
You have a beautiful home and we loved every minute of our stay. Thank you.

We had a wonderful holiday in this fantastic house in one of the most beautiful parts of Italy. The situation and size of the house enabled us to to have the whole family together but gave us space and privacy if we wanted quiet time to think and reflect.
We will take away many happy memories of good food, wine, frosty mornings, the sun rising out of the mist, magical landscapes of vineyards, ancient buildings and old towns. I could go on and on. We hope to be back.

Il Molinaccio is more wonderful than even the gorgeous pictures can do justice. The owners Cathy and Stephen are so welcoming and go out of their way to accommodate the whims of their guests. The property is wonderfully presented, every amenity from wireless internet to a cupboards full of Tuscan ceramic crockery are all provided. The pool is magnificent, the grounds impeccable and you really will be torn whether to stay at the house or explore Sienna or Florence or any of the myriad smaller towns that the house is so well located for. We were awfully upset when it was time to give the keys back but did so knowing we could always and would love to return

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
