About this villa rental

Since 2007, with great satisfaction, we have been sharing our home with Travellers.
To the”Ai Torchi Vecchi”(the meaning of the name of this place is:”to the old presses”)is one of the most striking corners which is in the valley of the river Rosaro in Lunigiana,in the north-west part of Tuscany.It is perhaps the most ancient mill system,how one immagines from the very beautiful pedestrian bridge of medieval origin,all made of stone which crosses the river and separates it still from the nearby village of Posara.On the property the water-level mark and the tracks of where the water used to run under the mill are still very visible. The complex included three adjacent mills,at present one af them has been restructured and changed into a two-floor habitation of about 500 mq.On the ground floor is a large kitchen with fire-place,living room,dining room and one bathroom and small gym. You can still find the ancient handmade stone presses now integrated in the furnishing and all of this really creates a very special place. From an internal stair one accesses the upper floor which also has its own separate entrance with five bedrooms each with private en-suite bathroom with shower or bath tube. The outside area is just in front of the river and is equipped with barbecue,sink,table and benches for eating. Behind the house is a swimming-pool, 12x5m, with deckchairs, sunbeds and changing room. The parking for 3 cars is shaded and has charging for electric cars. A large circular hearth with seating is ideal for staying around the fire for an aperitif or simply for gazing at the starry sky or warming up after a night swim in the pool. Immersed in the greenery with just the sound of the river, isolated,it is very cool in the summer period.”Ai Torchi Vecchi” is the ideal place for lovers of nature and tranquillity.
Due to its geographical location it is also a good starting point for tourist itineraries in the nearby towns rich in history or in cities such as Pisa and Lucca, for days at the seaside in Versilia or in the Cinque Terre, for walks in the mountains along the paths of Apuan Alps.
A trusted person is available on call to meet your needs during your stay and will keep the pool clean.

Very spacious - so many rooms and areas to relax in both inside and out (the photos don't do it justice) Very good communication with owner and caretaker of the property Nice big swimming pool with towels provided Wi-fi can be temperamental so don't rely on it for anything important or substantive If coming from UK note you will need to leave 500 Euro CASH deposit (returned at the end) Would definitely come back

This was a very unique place to stay - the location is in a stunning wooded area next to the quaint town of Fivizzano. It was amazing how they built the home over an ancient olive oil mill too. The pool was so well maintained and a highlight for everyone. The owner and her manager, Karsten, were very responsive as well. We would recommend this amazing place to everyone.

Grosszügiges, ruhig und idyllisch gelegendes Anwesen mit allem erdenklichem Komfort und gute eingerichtet. Hats sich für 10 Personen bestens bewährt. Auto fast zwingend für Ausflüge und Einkauf.

Nous avons trouvé que les photos du site ne sont pas à la hauteur de ce qu’est en réalité la maison. Elle est juste ma-gni-fique, intérieur et extérieur 😍 Nous avons passé 10 jours parfaits. Avec 7 adultes, 2 enfants et 4 chiens, personne ne s’est retrouvé à l’étroit. Un endroit calme en pleine nature avec en bruit de fond la rivière. Trop top ! Et surtout un grand merci à Karsten pour sa disponibilité. Merci encore pour cette pépite.

The ancient rustic charm of this old mill is beyond words or even pictures. Every day we stayed there we came to appreciate more and more deeply the beauty of this property and the incredible skill and creativity that went into its restoration. It is an old stone masterpiece. By the time we left we were looking at our calendars to imagine when we could come again. Big and spacious, there is room for everyone to find their own individual favorite spot and enjoy it all to themselves or with whomever they choose. I would stay here again just for the kitchen. It is amazing! But truth be told, we would stay here for a hundred other reasons as well. Number one would be the kitchen. Number two would be getting to sleep every night with the wonderful sounds of the stream just outside the window. Number three would be the church bells just across the stream in Posara. And then there's Enrica, the owner, who made it her personal business the make sure that we had everything we needed. She is a gem of a person. The swimming pool is perfection. The picnic tables, fire pits, the old stone bridge into town, everything is hundreds of years old and gorgeous! Best of all, this is outside of the range of most tourism and thus we get the real experience of living in Italy. We all LOVED it and recommend it wholeheartedly!

Unglaubliches Anwesen
Unglaubliches Anwesen
Wir waren mit einer befreundeten Familie (8 Personen insgesamt) für eine Woche in der Mühle. Das Anwesen ist extrem groß, weitläufig und unglaublich schön. Der Garten ist parkähnlichen mit einem sehr großen Pool, vielen Bäumen für natürlichen Schatten, unterschiedlichen Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten ausgestattet. Es gibt viele verschiedenen Möglichkeiten sich zurückzuziehen und für sich alleine zu sein. Die Architektur der Mühle und die Innenausstattung sind ebenfalls extrem schön, weitläufig und super restauriert. Die Lage ist sehr abgeschieden und ideal, wenn man komplett für sich alleine sein möchte. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.
