Mulino Elena, private pool

Charming Restored Mill with Large Private Pool, Walkable to Local Facilities

Escape the crowds and enjoy an authentic stay at this charming restored mill, located beside a small river just outside the village of Gallicano.

Offering excellent value for those looking for a private, traditional Italian retreat, Mulino Elena sits within a spacious fenced garden of olive trees and natural greenery, complete with a large private swimming pool (12m x 5m), BBQ area, picnic space and relaxing spots for enjoying the surrounding nature. The enclosed grounds make this a great choice for families, whilst the generous outdoor space is equally suited to couples or groups travelling together.

The property is arranged as two separate 2-bedroom apartments, both included in the price and let together to one group, allowing guests to enjoy privacy whilst still having their own space - ideal for extended families or two families holidaying together.

Full of character, the house features beamed ceilings, traditional flooring, chestnut-framed windows and exposed stonework, combined with modern comforts such as WiFi, smart TVs and a well-sized private pool.

Conveniently, the facilities of Gallicano - including bars, restaurants, bakery, pasticceria and supermarket - are within walking distance, making this a rare opportunity to enjoy a countryside setting without being isolated. The historic towns of Barga and Castelnuovo are both less than 10 minutes away by car, whilst the beautiful walled city of Lucca can be reached in approximately 40 minutes.
