The
holiday farmhouse is called “Il Mulino delle Canutole”.
-
It
was originally an oil mill belonging to a 19th century
farm on a hill covered with ancient olive trees, between. The
property is on the border between Umbria and
Tuscany, a stone's throw from Lake Trasimeno and its natural
park.
-
The
name “canutola” is local dialect for the aromatic herb called
“santolina selvatica” (wild santolina), which still grows thick
and wild around the hill.
-
Its
strongly perfumed yellow flowers were once dried in the sun, then
placed in small bags and used to perfume bed linen.

The
holiday farmhouse has been completely restored using its
original stone and building materials. There are seven
appartments, independent, bright and welcoming, each named after the original farming activities
that took place there. The simple, plain furnishing has been
attentively chosen by the owners, who personally manage the property. Peace and quiet,
privacy and the open-hearted hospitality of the
owners are the distinctive traits of our country
house.
