Mulino del Pita

Nestling in a peaceful valley in the Garfagnana region of northern Tuscany, amongst acres of protected countryside, this historic Tuscan watermill with great facilities including a games room is a superb venue for a villa holiday.

For centuries, Mulino del Pita has enjoyed a special role at the heart of this unspoiled corner of Tuscany.

The mill was a regular meeting place for local villagers and this legacy of community has inspired the owner to create a superb venue for families and friends. Each of the buildings has been restored to a high standard, and every need has been considered to ensure comfort and practicality for guests. The charm of the Mill House (with large millstones still in place) is complemented by the Shepherd's Cottage, and the Ivy Barn. The Barn is a fantastic games room with a pool table, darts, giant Connect Four and other games and puzzles.

For the more active, the mill also has a croquet lawn. There are plenty of spots of sun and shade in the extensive lawned gardens with a heatable pool tucked away in a sunny and sheltered corner. Guests of all ages will enjoy the stone built-barbecue, dining al fresco and cookery and pizza making lessons can be arranged on request.

The Ania river that runs alongside the property provides much enjoyment, whether it be fishing for small trout; having stepping stone adventures across the water; or simply relaxing nearby with the sound of the running water just a few yards away.

This is a a setting of great natural beauty- Mulino del Pita looks down the valley at Coreglia Antelminelli, voted one of Italy's most beautiful villages, with the majestic Apennine Mountains forming a dramatic backdrop upstream. Early booking essential.
