Nature house in Tofori

You will need your own car to reach il Mulino Valentina apt., which is located in the lovely scenic hills about 12 kilometres from the picturesque, walled city of Lucca. We are centrally located for convenient day trips to Lucca (20 minutes), Pisa and the sea-side beaches of Viareggio (40 minutes) and Montecatini, the famous spa town (25 minutes). About 55 minutes by car to Florence, or you can drive your car to a nearby train station and from there, it is a pleasant hour by train to the Florence station in the center of town, thereby avoiding traffic and parking problems. We are about 1 hour and 40 minutes to Siena, and roughly 1 hour and 50 minutes to the Cinque Terre. There are several small lovely restaurants among the vineyards nearby for a relaxing dinner after a day’s travels. Your on-site hosts Doris & Douglas have a wide array of local knowledge over their 25 years of living in the hills of Lucca and are here to help you make the most of your travel experience.

Nestled in a valley and south facing, il Mulino Torrigiani sits on its own bridge with the river Dezza gently flowing under it. Relax in the seating area on your own bridge. Pour a glass of wine, light a fire in our above-ground fire pit and listen to “la musica” (the music) of the Dezza as it flows under you. Or, meander in the back yard in your own garden. We have a table and chairs for breakfast or lunch and you can converse with the flowers and the birds. Here it could be 300 years ago as the sounds of civilisation are kept at bay by the sounds of nature. Walk the path, cross the footbridge and read a book by your own private waterfall. Open the windows in the evening to enjoy the fresh mountain air and sleep to the sound of our bubbling brook which flows directly under il Mulino Torrigiani. il Mulino Torrigiani is truly a unique property and one theat must be personally experienced, to be fully enjoy.
