Hotel Il Molendino (Calci, Italy)

About Il Molendino

Founded as a mill on the Zambra brook, the ancient Molendino is set very close to the Calci Charterhouse, dated 1366, that from then up until 1972 sheltered the Carthusian order. "Molendino" stands in the impressive natural theatre of Calci, and is bordered by the wonderful stone walls of Nicosia abbey; it is very close to the towns of Pisa and Lucca, as well as the Tirrenian sea. A place isolated and protected by the Pisan mountains, easy to reach with cars and bikes. An ideal bridge from which to start the discovery of many particular areas of Tuscany (Florence can be reached in half an hour by train, and in a very short time it is possible to get to the wonderful beach in Marina di Vecchiano). "Molendino" is the perfect place for exploring walks and rides in the territory around, through streams and paths, to villages, mills, fortresses, churches, castles, with trails engaging and others, simple and easier. The olive trees field, the shady green garden, the large park – more than twenty thousand square meters – around the house surround this enchanted place that keeps a secret and together revealed charm, out of the passing of time. Simple and easy accommodation and silence.
