An oasis of peace, located not far from the historic centre of Castagneto-Carducci (about 600 m walk to the village), a former oil and flour mill, is one of the oldest buildings in the region.
It is situated with about 3 hectares of land on the outskirts of Castagneto-Carducci in a park with oleander, hibiscus, laurel hedges, flowers and palms, crossed by a small stream.
The particularly beautiful building with its unique solitary position in the valley of Castagneto, where the hills slope gently towards the sea, has already been described in numerous books and articles.
The large house belonged to the Counts of Gherardesca and formerly housed five families of farmers who managed mills and agriculture.
Since 1985 it has belonged to a German painter and author, who has lovingly restored the old house, preserving all the Tuscan features such as the wooden beam ceilings, cross vaults, terracotta floors, brick arches and stone fireplaces.
There are 6 flats of different sizes and 2 guest rooms, each with a bathroom and small kitchen. All flats have central heating for guests who want to spend their holidays in the colder season, most of them also have a fireplace.
In addition to the wine cellar, the property also has a kitchen on the ground floor and a hall of about 100 m2 with cross vaults and excellent acoustics. Concerts, seminars, cooking classes, wine tastings, parties and more can take place here.
On the property there is ample private parking and outdoor terraces with barbecue facilities, ideal for outdoor dining.
