The Grounds

The area of the grounds is about six acres and is mainly woodland. A lovely stream borders the area.

The 'approach drive' ( as the Italians refer to it ) from the main road is 700 metres and it is not recommended for low slung cars.

A water splash about one third of the way along the 'street' usually runs well even during the summer as it is fed from all of the hills in the immediate area.

A path through the woods starts from the vicinity of the storage house and leads well into the woods on to the Monastery.

The hill immediately behind the house is Mulinello property and has terraces leading to the top. Apparently the terraces were created by the monks and were used as vegetable plots for their own use. You will see many of these terraces in Tuscany.

An electrically operated main gate is opened and closed remotely from the car or the house and the control will be given to you on arrival.

A security system is installed and details of its operation will be supplied however the owners have not used it either when occupying or absent.
