San Pietro a Cegliolo House | Traditional Tuscan house with Exclusive Use of House, Garden, Pool and Grounds

4 Bedroom House in San Pietro a Cegliolo, Cortona

Halfway up a valley, and commanding breathtaking views over the rolling landscape of the Val di Chiana to the mountain range dominated by Monte Amiata, the Casa del Mulino enjoys a secluded setting with no buildings overlooking the house or swimming pool. Pool normally available in June-August only. This house, built over 200 years ago and sensitively restored over the past 40 years by our family, stands in extensive grounds, and features bedrooms with separate entrances making it ideal for groups of friends or families. The grounds include a 'secret garden' with statues and surrounded by a wisteria covered pergola, classically inspired parkland with a 'temple' and monuments, and a woodland hollow with a stream running through it and flowers on its banks. The house, garden and parkland covers 1800 square metres (2150 square yards, 0.18 hectares, 0.45 acres) for the exclusive use of guests.
Unlike the many 'agriturismo' options in the area, the house, pool and gardens are for the exclusive use of one set of guests giving a very private and relaxing setting for guests to enjoy the Tuscan countryside. The house has remained true to its setting with its oak beams and traditional furniture. It is house used for 40 years by the owner's family and is comfortable and well maintained but does not pretend to be a hotel (no gold taps!).
The house is set in a fine location for walks and bird watching. Within a 15 minute walk is one of the best wineries in the area (the Barrachi Estate), which does wine tasting and offers fine dining in its restaurant 'Il Falconiere'. There are also local beekeepers, who sell honey from their bees within 10 minutes walk. Seasonal pleasures vary from birdsong and wild flowers in spring and early summer to the olive and grape harvests in autumn. While the house has a rustic setting, shops and supermarkets are only 10 minutes away.
The house is also ideally situated to discover lesser known towns and sites in southern Tuscany and nearby Umbria, the house is also within easy reach of the famous centres with Florence, Siena, Assisi, Montepulciano, Perugia, Orvieto and Arezzo all 30-75 minutes away by car. Lake Trasimeno (water sports, kayaking, swimming) is 30 minutes by car.

Summary: Casa del Mulino is a real find in that it is not a characterless creation catering to tourists, it is the much-loved house, and even more importantly, garden of a British art historian who has, over 40 years, imagined it, planned it, tended it – people who stay in it now can enjoy the results of all that labour. The garden is a combination of eighteenth-century English idyll and Italian dream. We loved the sublime view of Mount Amiata, perfectly framed by cypresses, and the garden of the four seasons, with its plentiful pots of white geraniums. We loved the many places you can sit (we experimented with having, at one dinner, each course at a different table). The pool is pretty basic - you can't jump or dive into it but it is deliciously cool and well maintained. The furniture within the house is solid, dated but not unsympathetic (though I have encountered more comfortable beds and squashier pillows in my time). The house and its grounds feel private although neighbours are close by and Cortona within easy reach. An ideal base for visiting Arezzo, Sansepolcro etc and seeing the tremendous Piero della Francescas. Good horse riding nearby and further afield.

Summary: What a beautiful setting; I was overwhelmed by its loveliness. It was hard to leave this place to go off and visit the many lovely places nearby. Just sitting looking out across the valley, smelling the sweet lavender and herb smells of the garden and listening to the gentle bells of the nearby church would have been enough. The pool was a welcome change of scene as was taking in the various vistas dotted around the large and infinitely interesting gardens. We felt so lucky to be here. The proximity to Cortona (walkable, with stout shoes and a determined uphill grind) was a plus - we could have filled several afternoons mooching around, looking in churches and the (very good) museum with a breathtakingly beautiful Fra Angelica Annunciation. In Cortona there are restaurants to suit all budgets as well as a handy, well stocked supermarket with a good deli counter. We were a little unadventurous in our trips out (the pull of the house was so strong) but, aside from Cortona itself,we visited Arezzo for the frescos as well as Lake Trasimeno for a good castle, lake swimming and boat ride to the island and managed a day trip (easy) to Florence. We (adults and children) had such a lovely time here, I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Summary: We are a family of five adults and used the Farmhouse as a base both to relax and to explore Tuscany. The Farmhouse was very comfortable and clean, and had more than ample space to spread out. Once the shutters were open, there was plenty of light to flood in. We used the outside dining area every night, playing cards and drinking the local red wine. There are numerous outside sitting areas as well as the pool so we were able to take advantage of fabulous May weather. The gardens are very beautiful. The road up to the farmhouse is very narrow and take a little getting used to, and we didn't do it at nightime, but it was all part of the adventure. Definitely require a car. We used it every day - travelling out to various towns. We were provided with plenty of information about the local area and very good restaurant recommendations. All correspondence with the manager was prompt and honest. We felt as though we were well looked after. In summary, a great family holiday with comfortable accommodation and we would definitely stay here again. .

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the Casa del Mulino and its beautiful setting was the perfect place to relax and explore the wonderful countryside around us. The very personal touches that make the gardens so special have created a wonderful haven for people and creatures to enjoy, like the fireflies that produced a dazzling display each evening.
