The Locanda del Molino is typical charming Tuscany country accommodation situated near Cortona.

With just 8 romantic rooms and a wonderful rustic restaurant, it is perfect for a quiet getaway dedicated to great wine, great food and relaxation, as well as a base for discovering nearby Umbria.

The locanda is owned by the Baracchi family of the Relais Il Falconiere and what was once an olive pressing mill by the River Esse has been transformed with the same attention to detail with antique fabrics, four poster beds and traditional furniture.

Each room is air conditioned with a private bathroom with shower or hydromassage.

Look out for the Thesan Suite with its small sitting area and parquet floor. Classed as a four star hotel, Locanda del Molino also has a garden with private swimming pool and all modern comforts expected.

 

Opening in the evenings, the restaurant of Il Molino is a place to enjoy typical Tuscan cuisine such as Chianina beef steak to mixed roasts and hand made pasta.

Discover the wines in the cellar and bar. The latter used to be location of the old mill itself.

Look out also for the Bottega, a place to purchase local salami, artisan cheese, home jams and honey and, of course, fine Tuscan wine from the Baracchi Winery.

On request cooking courses and wine tastings can be arranged.

The Molino lends itself especially well to family events, small ceremonies, and private dinners.
