Ancient 17th century mill situated in the heart of the Chianti, between Florence
Ancient 17th century mill situated in the heart of the Chianti, between Florence and Siena, built near a small stream (the Argenna). The structure, which was restored with great care over a period of four years, has been transformed by the present owners into an extremely charming and comfortable environment.The environment is also particularly cosy and romantic thanks to the preservation of the mill's ancient architectural elements, such as the old stone washbasins, the original terracotta floors and the hundred-year-old wood ceiling beams.The interior furnishings are made up of period pieces and are combined with well-matched and original decorative solutions that give the entire structure a strong personality.The house's position is peaceful and relaxing thanks to the absence of any other nearby houses and is protected by typical vegetation that has remained intact.Approximately 150 m away, in a secluded position and not visible from the mill, there is a very small house along the stream that is reserved and inhabited by the owners.
