| MULINO DI GRETA Montale, Taverone Valley Sleeps 6 Ref L_Mul |
|
This delightful old mill building has been completely restored and is situated in its own land overlooking the river, with natural pools for bathing about 150 meters up river, and a pretty waterfall on the other side.
The river is lovely for children to play in, with cool clear shallow water running over the stony river bed, interesting rock pools, and stones to clamber over. A vine-clad pergola covers the raised eating area in the courtyard, and there is another paved terrace up a few steps, surrounded by fruit trees and overlooking the river. The property is surrounded by beautiful scenery , with views to the Apennines. |
| You can park in the vineyard opposite. There is very little traffic on the small road - a flock of black sheep pass by twice a day on their way to pasture, and on their return for milking. The shepherd is sometimes to be seen nearby sitting in a tree shaded by his umbrella, watching his flock. | |
