Mulino Elena, private pool
Description
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.

Reviews
Our stay was very pleasant. We were able to spend the whole day
by the pool and eat on the beautiful terrace. We had a lot of fun,
and it was an all-round great holiday. Basically, we have nothing
to complain about. The owners came every morning and evening to
clean the pool and collect the rubbish. They were also around at
midday to bring things to one of the other apartments, but I think
that's not normally the case. They were very helpful and always
available if we had questions. Halfway through our stay we were
given fresh towels and bed linen.Our stay was very pleasant. We

A truly beautiful property, very authentic and with a wonderful
garden. The pool is great and is cleaned daily. Very quietly
located, perfect for escaping everyday life. We had everything we
needed. Very friendly owner and other members. Everything worked
out perfectly.
