A converted watermill, set on the side of a gentle hill and cradled by forests, Mulino del Rigualdo in Grosseto, the southernmost province of Tuscany, is a tranquil retreat for a couple or a small family seeking a little solitude. The free-flowing river that once powered this mill today provides a soothing soundtrack to a memorable holiday, wherever you are the grounds – relaxing on the upper or lower terrace, beneath the gazebo or by the private pool. What’s more, there’s a hot tub located under a canvas pergola – perfect for unwinding in all weathers.
Inside, this two-bedroom villa revels in its heritage, with warm terracotta-tiled floors, wood-beamed ceilings and patches of exposed stone. Yet it’s also a very comfortable space, with a big corner sofa, large dining table and chairs, and a beautiful hearth that can be lit on cooler evenings. Upstairs, deep, cosy beds will be a welcoming sight after a hard day gadding about the area. Outside, the private pool is an ideal spot for unwinding and cooling off. But when you are ready to venture out, the historic hilltop village of Torniella is close by, and, a little further is the larger town of Roccastrada, with more options for mingling with the locals.
Tall trees surrounding the property mean you’ll enjoy total privacy while relaxing by the pool or enjoying the shade of the terraces. Whether you prefer to spend your holiday in leisurely bliss, chilling around the pool or exploring the beautiful Tuscan countryside, you’ll find what you need here.
