Agriturismo Il Mulino delle Pile
Mulino delle Pile was built in the early 13th century by the monks of the neighbouring serene abbey, ensuring the people of Chiusdino, in addition to a place in which to mill their grain, somewhere to stiffen linen for sale in distant market. This activity was performed well into the 15th century.
The mill takes its name from the stone containers named “pile” in which the mechanism of the fulling mills, activated by a hydraulic wheel, beat on the fabric immersed in a special solution to shrink it.
The mill has become well-known as the location to advertisement for Mulino Bianco products.
The original architecture of the mill has been restored and it now offers a warm, elegant welcome to guests, who can gather in small spaces in the old, elegantly refurnished tower, or in the lounge in which they can converse by the fireplace, just like in the old days.
A museum bears witness to the activities of the historic building.
The dining rooms and the large outdoor terrace welcome whoever wishes to sample the very best Tuscan cuisine.
Not far from Siena, Florence or the sea-side, the farm is situated just a stone’s throw from Abbey of San Galgano and the Church of Montesiepi.
Wide open spaces offer the chance to enjoy the flowing waters of the river Merse and provide ample scope for walking and cycling trips.
Children can have fun in our specially equipped play area.
The swimming pool, which merges beautifully with the rural environment, satisfies the needs of guests who wish to spend their holidays in the oasis of peace and quiet without forgoing the comforts of modern living.
