Ancient mill-Tuscany. PRIVATE POOL- near to CINQUE TERRE-barbecue-river-wifi

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.

Beautiful and unique
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.

A little piece of paradise
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!

Great place to stay when 3 generation are together
We had the pleasure to stay 8 nigths and had a wonderful time. No surprices and description on HomeAway nailed it. Carsten was a great help, always willing to help and answer questions. He arranged a winetasting at a local winery at Monastero Fratti Bianchi and it's something everyone should try - remember cash :). Also a great thanks to Marta who arranged a private chef one evening for a local 5 course dinner. Chef Cosimo and Irene did it great and something that could be recommended for others. We really enjoyed the house and it's locations.

Entspannte Tage am Pool
Das Anwesen entspricht der Beschreibung voll und ganz. Ausreichend Platz für 2 Familien. Unsere Woche war sehr heiß, so dass wir sehr viel Zeit am Pool verbracht haben. Ein oder zwei Sonnenschirme mehr wären bei dem großen Pool noch schöner gewesen. Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig direkt an einem Fluss. Die Matratzen waren für unseren Geschmack etwas zu hart. In allen Zimmern waren Mückenstecker vorhanden. Der Ansprechpartner vor Ort war stets hilfsbereit. Alles in allem ein wunderschöner, erholsamer Aufenthalt.

Wunderbares Haus am Bach
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in der sehr geschmackvollen und großen alten Ölmühle sehr genossen. Die von uns gefürchtete Mückenplage wegen dem Fluss existierte nicht. Sehr schöner, sauberer und warmer Pool. Küche groß und sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Schlafzimmer und Bäder qualitativ hochwertig und überhaupt nicht muffig. Auch die lfd. Betreuung durch Karsten war vorbildlich. Eine klare Empfehlung! Vielen Dank!

Parfait pour un séjour entre amis ou en famille. Un extérieur magnifique : piscine, rivière, verdure, un cadre idyllique. Chaque chambre possède sa propre salle de bain et toilettes. Un vrai plus ! Je recommande vivement cette location

ein schöner Urlaub
Wir haben zehn wunderschöne Tage in der Toskana verbracht. Die Mühle ist einzigartig. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man sich wünscht. Ausflüge zu nahegelegenen Orten sind meist nur über Serpentinen erreichbar. So braucht man für 30 km schon mal ne Stunde.

Naturnahe, ruhige Lage
Die Lage, mitten in der Natur, ist wirklich wunderschön. Alles ist großzügig angelegt. Die Mühle ist aufwendig und wertig restauriert. Zwei kleine Mankos: die Küche ist etwas dunkel und kühl und das Haus ist nicht für Senioren geeignet, denn es gibt sehr viele Stufen und Treppen.
