Description

Experience the timeless beauty of the Chianti countryside in this unique historic mill apartment, set within the beautifully restored Molino di Cogno, an ancient watermill dating back to the 12th century. Surrounded by cascading waterfalls, the crystal-clear Gena River, and peaceful woodland, this extraordinary retreat offers an authentic Tuscan experience where history, nature, and comfort come together.

Designed to accommodate up to 4 guests, the apartment features a charming bedroom with a comfortable double bed, a bright living area with additional sleeping space, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a modern bathroom with a spectacular walk-in shower overlooking the forest and flowing river.

Rich in character, the apartment preserves many original architectural details, including the former dovecote with its historic stone openings, now transformed into charming windows where guests can observe birds nesting in their natural habitat. A skylight above the bedroom allows you to fall asleep beneath the stars, creating a truly unforgettable atmosphere.

Outside, guests can relax in the beautifully maintained gardens, enjoy peaceful moments beside the waterfalls, dine outdoors in the BBQ area, or simply immerse themselves in the tranquility of the surrounding nature. Scenic walking trails begin just outside the property, offering endless opportunities to explore the stunning landscapes of the Chianti region.

Perfectly located between vineyards, medieval villages, and world-famous wineries, this remarkable property provides easy access to Castellina in Chianti, Siena, San Gimignano, and Florence, making it the ideal base for discovering the heart of Tuscany.

Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a relaxing holiday, or a nature-filled adventure, this exceptional historic mill offers a truly unique stay in one of Italy's most enchanting regions.

This apartment gave us exactly the kind of relaxed base we wanted. Small things like extra blankets, clear labels and enough glasses made the stay smoother. For us, nothing felt worn out or neglected, which gave us confidence in the booking. Everything felt honest, clean and professionally handled.
