Our home, Molino di Bordone is an elegant 17th century stone farmhouse Villa with self-catering apartments to rent; ideally located for exploring Tuscany and Umbria. Authentically restored, furnished with country charm and decorated with the utmost attention to detail. We completely restored it from a ruin that had been empty for over 30 years. We adore the peacefulness and the 360-degree views of the surrounding vineyards and olive groves and are often to be found at home to welcome you.

Welcome to all of you who spend your holiday here, or come for a short visit to our hills, mountains and ancient cities. We wish you a time of rest, for body and soul, in the silence of the forests and countryside and the natural riches to be found here on this spot. We are located literally at the meeting point of two beautiful Italian regions -Tuscany and Umbria.

We wish you a pleasant stay and a joyful journey here at Il Molino.
Pino and Caroline and the Nobile family

Hello.
Welcome to Tuscany and our 17c farmhouse Molino di Bordone.

The setting is the Val di Chiana and in the distance just 4 miles away you can see the fortress of the Etruscan city of Cortona with its fascinating historic center full of street cafés, fine restaurants, art galleries, museums and a theatre.

The house is over 350 years old and was a large farmhouse with 8 acres of land and outbuildings. In the past several farming families would have shared the property and farmed the surrounding fields. Today it is completely restored as our family holiday home with self-catering apartments which guests can rent and come to enjoy a holiday in the delightful Tuscan countryside all around. Let’s go down now and take a closer look at the facilities and what it has to offer.

OUR STYLE OF HOSPITALITY / WELCOME GENERAL
A member of the family is usually available to answer your questions. Thanks to our experience of the area, passion for the job we're doing, and knowledge of the territory, we can help you enjoy fab food, wonderful wine and oodles of culture! Just let us know what you are looking for and we will do our best to accommodate your requests.
Providing good service and a friendly style of hospitality is our way of life at IL Molino di Bordone. We offer our guests beautifully furnished apartments and have spared no expense to provide you with an almost luxurious stay.

TRANSPORT
You'll need a car. Whilst we are close to towns we are in a rural location. There is no public transport here but in nearby Camucia or Terontola there is a fantastic rail network linking you with Rome or Florence and the whole of Italy.

We hope that this website answers many of your questions and perhaps inspire you to choose to come and stay.

This only leaves us to say ...
Thank you and Arrivederci
