Country House Mulino Delle Capannacce (Cortona)

Description Mulino Delle Capannacce

Visit the heart of rural italy: la val di pierle. An experience not to be forgotten! Immersed in the green of the tuscan countryside, a stone`s throw from umbria, an eighteenth century mill has been restored preserving, through the exclusive use of traditional materials and construction methods, its original charming character. Perfectly in tune with nature, the mulino delle capannacce is a haven of calm and comfort; a corner of paradise, situated at the foot of the castle of pierle, surrounded by an endless panorama of woods, olive-groves, vineyards, ancient ruins of medieval castles and romanesque churches. Nature, landscape, culture, art and good food, are all offered by the mulino delle capannacce and the trattoria mimmi, our own traditional restaurant. In mercatale di cortona, 800 metres from themulino delle capannacce, trattoria mimmi hasan intimate family atmosphere which characterizesthis small but comfortable restaurant, where youcan still sample traditional recipes and wherethe simplicity and genuineness of the fruitsof the country and the woods form an integral partof the traditions of tuscan and umbrian culinary art.
