The Property

Il Mulino is a restored centuries-old olive mill, complete with metal-gated driveway and walkway entrances, thick stone walls, arches and pieces of the original marble floors. The restoration has been lovingly done to retain the flavor of the original building while adding modern amenities. The views are territorial and extend from Perugia in the north, and across Umbrian valleys and hill towns to the west. The valleys and towns seem to come alive with the morning sun, and the evening sunsets provide a perfect backdrop for tasting the wines bought at the many small Umbrian wineries nearby. The villa is furnished with hand-hewn teak furniture, comfortable sofas, and the terrazzo floors have area rugs from around the world. When the rental side of the house is being used, the owners are not in residence; you have the property to yourselves unless cleared with you in advance.  
 
Along with three bedrooms, the rental has two living room areas, a separate dining room, a dining terrace, and a TV room. A separate terrace on the upper floor is accessible from the outside and from the TV room and master bedroom. The views are spectacular from the house and the terraces.  
 
The pool terrace also affords a view across the countryside, and is an ideal place for relaxing after enjoying all the nearby hill towns have to offer. It is a 5 minute walk into the village, where the local cafe bars serve espresso and snacks, along with beer, wine, grappa, etc.

Notes on Facilities:
The pool is 1.4 meters deep, so it can be used for exercise, swimming and lounging, but diving is not allowed. There is a pullout sofa on the ground floor in one of the living rooms. There is a half bath (no tub or shower) on the ground floor as well, so someone having difficulties with stairs can be accommodated. The house is on two level, and the pool is on a lower terrace, so there are many stairs.

Location Description

*** Il Mulino is located at the edge of the small Umbrian town near Todi, Montefalco and Assisi. The location allows for easy access to these towns, as well as Deruta, famous for hand-painted pottery, Perugia with its beautiful old town, and Orvieto, known for olive oil and wine. Rome, Florence and Siena are easily visited in day trips, each being approximately two hours away. The site is surrounded by hills and valleys with many hill towns and farms visible from the house, garden, terraces and pool. The area is known for its wine and olive oil. There are more than a dozen wineries (some small, family ones, well as larger more commercial ones) all within a 20 minute drive of the villa.  
 
The village of San Terenziano retains it's small walled village, but also has basic shopping and several restaurants nearby. Everything needed for day to day living can be found in the village. Everything can be done without a car, providing a balance to days touring the countryside. Every Tuesday morning is the village market as well. 
 
In the next village (2 km) are more restaurants, and a well-equipped fitness center. It is an ideal area for walking and jogging. An old fortress in the valley below, and visible from the villa, is a 20 minute walk downhill, and a little longer coming back uphill!
