WHY THIS PROPERTY – UNIQUE BENEFITS

If you are looking for something different and a special opportunity to enjoy the company of your loved one in a unique romantic location this IS as good as it gets! You are also in easy reach of all major Italian cultural cities if you want to enjoy day trips…However the Robinson Crusoe appeal of the place is infectious and venturing up the path to civilization to collect bare necessities from the local shops or foraging in the surrounding woods seems to complete the day for many visitors of the Mullino dello Zuchero as it has known to be called.

SOROUNDINGS

Having a swimming pool IS’NT everything if one has never experienced swimming in a mountain torrent and basking on the rocks whilst meditating to the sound of water passing through this really is a must in life. The joy of discovering a deeper rock pool up stream and being at one with nature. The satisfaction of spending the day building a damn to raise the level of the water in a chosen spot…Crossing a Roman bridge for a walk in the surrounding Chestnut and Oak woods to pick wild mushrooms and flowers or berries for your evening table.

The Mill is accessed by a foot–path that begins in a small mountain village. The village provides a fantastic local restaurant, pizzeria and farm shop run by the Sheppard’s wife.  The walk to the Mill allows you to get a sometimes much needed sense of isolation from the rest of the world, switch off and leave the digital era behind.
