Surrounded by quintessential Tuscan villages, you’ll find a tempting array of restaurants, and artisan food shops, ensuring good food is at the heart of your Italian adventure.

A 20-minute drive through the vineyards, and you’ll arrive at the Grotta Giusti - a magical hot thermal grotto. Sitting at a tropical 28-34°C, you can enjoy a rejuvenating natural steam as you explore this curious cave system. A similar distance away is the crowd-pleasing mountain town of Pistoia, with classic Alpine views, Medieval architecture, and breathtaking frescoes. Keep little ones in the group enthralled at the conservation-conscious Pistoia Zoo, meeting adorable capybaras, red pandas, and African penguins.

The villa bursts with character thanks to a range of delightful antique furniture and décor. With exposed timbers and a rich, warm colour palette, Villa Mulinarella’s living rooms provide a comforting ambience for relaxing with friends. Find a 1900s billiards table in the billiards room for after-dinner games. The villa’s two terracotta-flagged kitchens offer all the mod-cons, with charming dining spaces for sociable cooking sessions. You can also enjoy feasting in the two formal dining rooms.

The villa offers seven delightfully traditional and ornately furnished bedrooms. Four ensuite bedrooms each provide a double bed, and one of these rooms also features a twin-size bed, accessed by a spiral staircase. Their bathrooms boast hydromassage tubs for restorative soaks. The final three bedrooms share private bathrooms. Find three twin beds in one, two in another, and the last offers a twin.

A circular tree-lined terrace creates an unforgettable spot in the lush grounds for al fresco dining. Make use of the outdoor grill, then end your Tuscan days by the pool or under the furnished pergola with a nightcap. Let every last ounce of stress ease away at Villa Mulinarella – a true slice of paradise in Tuscany.
