Property Summary

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Le Colombelline is an exceptional vacation rental offering an unparalleled experience in one of Italy's most celebrated landscapes. Situated just 4 km from the historic borgo of Montepulciano, this magnificently restored 18th-century farmhouse stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of traditional Tuscan architecture and thoughtful contemporary design. Built originally as a farmhouse dedicated to the cultivation of cereals, olive trees, and pastures, Le Colombelline has been carefully and skilfully renovated to preserve its authentic character while introducing refined modern comforts, making it an ideal retreat for families, groups of friends, or couples seeking an exclusive countryside escape in Italy. The property spans approximately 300 sq m across 3 floors, presenting an exterior of typical Tuscan stone and brick construction, while the interior reveals high ceilings adorned with chestnut beams, exposed terracotta tiles, and prestigious travertine flooring in shades of beige throughout all levels. Guests benefit from complimentary Wi-Fi internet access, a dedicated 4-car open-air parking area conveniently located just outside the property where two local dirt roads converge, and an expansive yard of approximately 1,800 sq m of manicured lawn surrounding the house and swimming pool, enriched with olive trees, holm oaks, cypresses, rosemary, aromatic herbs, and laurels. The property extends across approximately 15 hectares of unfenced terrain encompassing vineyards and arable land, offering a sense of space, privacy, and immersion in the authentic Tuscan countryside that is truly rare. Le Colombelline has been subjected to a thorough check-up by a technical responsible before the beginning of the season to ensure consistency of the description, accessories listed, and their present state of operation and maintenance, guaranteeing quality, cleanliness, and comfort to all guests.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of Le Colombelline are as carefully conceived as the interiors, offering a seamless connection between the house and the breathtaking Tuscan landscape that surrounds it. The external dining area, positioned between the dining room and the private annex reserved for the exclusive use of the property, is shaded by a natural reed canopy in compliance with the landscape constraints of the area and is served by a barbecue. Located just a few metres from the kitchen and adjacent to the stone paving that leads to the swimming pool, this al fresco dining space is perfectly suited for long, convivial meals in the open air. One of the ground floor bedrooms opens directly onto a pergola facing the pool, where an outdoor sitting area invites guests to enjoy relaxing aperitifs with the Tuscan hills as a magnificent backdrop. The property is accessed via a wooden pedestrian gate with manual opening, and the 4-car open-air parking area is situated just outside the property boundary. The laundry room is located next to the parking area, accessible from the outside. In the downsloping part of the estate, young olive trees that have recently been planted, the vineyard, and hints of woodland typical of the hilly Tuscan landscape complete the picture. The multiple direct exits from the ground floor to the garden allow for effortless enjoyment of this exclusive outdoor environment. The non-heated swimming pool is rectangular, measuring 12 x 6 m, with a depth varying from 0.90 to 1.40 m, and is lined in pearl grey PVC with a border in porous stone. It features chlorine purification and 2 large chiselled steps for easy access to the water.

Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Il Molinaccio is an extraordinary vacation rental that invites you to experience the timeless beauty of the Italian countryside near the Renaissance town of Montepulciano, Italy. This remarkable property is the result of a meticulous and passionate restoration of an ancient watermill dating from the sixteenth century, already documented on the old maps of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. The original architecture has been lovingly preserved, with terracotta floors, exposed beams, and stone façades seamlessly blended with modern comforts and tasteful furnishings that draw from the rich rural tradition of Tuscany. The interior combines salvaged pieces of antique furniture with contemporary accessories, achieving a harmonious balance between tradition and functionality. Designed with a deep respect for the environment, the restoration was carried out according to sustainable principles, incorporating innovative systems that guarantee complete energy efficiency, including a photovoltaic system that offers free recharging for electric vehicles. The property is surrounded by a generous yard that includes a colorful garden bordered by century-old oak trees, a fruit grove, and a 3.5-hectare vineyard. Wireless Internet connection is available throughout the property, keeping you connected while you enjoy the absolute tranquility of this unique setting. 2 covered parking spaces are provided on-site for your convenience, ensuring a comfortable and practical stay from the moment of your arrival.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of Il Molinaccio are as captivating as the interiors, offering a seamless extension of the property's natural elegance. The property is immersed in a one-hectare park consisting primarily of woodland, while the house itself is surrounded by approximately 6,000 square metres of well-maintained garden lawn framed by old oak trees that provide generous shade and a natural coolness on warm summer days. Rose bushes and geraniums add vibrant splashes of color to this oasis of green and tranquility. A beautiful stone portico, furnished with a table and benches, provides an ideal setting for pleasant outdoor meals in the open air. Just outside the kitchen, a large paved area has been equipped as an additional dining space, perfect for alfresco gatherings. A large barbecue is available for your use, inviting you to prepare flavorful grills accompanied by a glass of the estate's own Nobile di Montepulciano. The small forest is crossed by the river Salcheto, along which the owners Marco and Alessandro have created a walking footpath with natural bridges, ideal for leisurely strolls or moments of relaxation on handmade wooden benches while enjoying the surrounding natural landscape. Along the river, 3D targets representing local animals have been positioned, transforming the path into a fully fledged Field Archery Range where both professionals and amateurs may practice or learn this ancient sport with the assistance of a skilled trainer. A small outbuilding serves as a laundry facility. The property's cats wander freely throughout the park, adding a charming and authentic rural atmosphere to your stay. Please be aware that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the color of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.

Positioned in front of the villa, set among the walls of the old trench where water was once collected and channeled to the watermill, the scenic infinity swimming pool is a true highlight of the estate. Open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October, the pool is non-heated and measures 5 x 18 metres, with a depth varying from 1.20 metres to 1.60 metres. Rather than conventional chlorine treatment, the pool uses a saltwater disinfection system, which is considerably healthier, free from added chemicals, and offers notable benefits including reduced eye irritation and improved tanning. The water has a light and pleasant salty taste. The rectangular pool is equipped with Roman steps for easy water access, underwater lighting, and a cold-water shower. The surrounding solarium area is paved with travertine and furnished with sunbeds, deckchairs, umbrellas, and small tables. Not far from the pool's edge, beneath an ancient oak tree, a dedicated relaxation area has been arranged with a comfortable lounge suite, perfect for unwinding in the shade after a swim.

Unit Layout

Il Molinaccio accommodates up to 16 guests across 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, distributed between the main house and a separate annex. The main house spans 2 floors and is internally divided into 3 units that are not directly connected to one another. The first unit, located on the ground floor, is accessed through the main entrance and opens into a generous open-plan living area comprising a lounge, a professional kitchen with a large fireplace, and a spacious dining room that houses an interesting exhibition of fine posters printed between the First and Second World Wars. From this area, you access a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom featuring a Jacuzzi tub, as well as a separate toilet with laundry space. The second unit, also on the ground floor, has its own separate entrance leading directly into a twin bedroom with joinable beds and 2 additional beds, along with an ensuite bathroom that is suitable for guests with disabilities. A small hallway connects this room to a further double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom with shower, which also benefits from direct outside access. The third unit occupies the first floor and is reached by a staircase with a small loggia. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a living room, where the fireplace is ornamental in nature. This floor also features a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom with shower, as well as 2 twin bedrooms with joinable beds, each with its own ensuite bathroom with shower. The single-storey annex is situated approximately 30 metres from the main house and contains a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom with shower.

For entertainment, the property is equipped with satellite TV, allowing you to enjoy a wide selection of channels during your downtime. Pets are welcome at Il Molinaccio, making it an ideal choice for guests who wish to travel with their animal companions.

Other Information

The estate also produces Grappa, distilled exclusively from its own vinasse, and Il Finocchiaccio, an alcoholic infusion of wild fennel harvested on the property. Future productions include Vin Santo DOC and the celebrated Occhio di Pernice. Guests are invited to enjoy the gastronomic specialties of the area, many of which are produced directly by the farm. Fruit from the estate is transformed into homemade jam, enjoyed at breakfast or used to fill freshly baked pies. A dinner service is available on request, with Alessandro the chef preparing local dishes crafted from the produce of the estate's orchard. The property has been subjected to a technical inspection before the beginning of the season to verify the consistency of the description, the listed accessories, and their operational and maintenance condition, guaranteeing quality, cleanliness, and comfort to all guests. This inspection was carried out on 12th May 2021. The concierge team at Emma Villas is available for any emergencies or further information required during your stay, and all useful telephone numbers will be provided together with your booking documents. Pets are welcome at the property. Please note that a mandatory extra cleaning fee applies in the case of guests travelling with animals.

Located near Castel Giorgio in Italy, this magnificent three-storey property and its separate annex sit within a vast unfenced park of 10,000 square metres, offering an unparalleled sense of space, privacy, and tranquillity. The heavy stone walls, softened by light blue fixtures that lend a distinctive Provençal character, frame a home where original architectural features such as round vaults, terracotta floors, and exposed chestnut beams have been lovingly preserved throughout the renovation.
