We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Mill and found it an excellent base for exploring the area. It was lovely to walk in to, clean and fresh, with a generous amount of food and essentials in the fridge. It is easy to find, being only a couple of kilometres from San Giustino, which, in turn, merges into San Sepulchro. It is in easy reach of several stunning hill towns and hidden gems like Citta in the Tiber Valley bottom. If you travel farther afield it is well place for Gubbio, Cortona, Urbino and Fabriano, all served by good roads. The mill is a sensitive conversion keeping its 18th century character and integrity, with lovely old tuscan tile floors and local furniture . The kitchen was compact and well equipped, the sitting area comfortable and bedrooms spacious. We found it nice and cool when it was burning outside, and it had the decking area for sun bathing, as well as the shady lean-to for BBQ evenings. (These evenings were special because of the displays by the fireflies from dusk onwards) We enjoyed the local village, the friendly bar (the Champions League Final!) and the local historic villa (Castiglione has associations with the local Bufalo family and their dynastic struggles with the Viteli family (you couldn't make it up!), There was everything available within convenient distance, and it did deliver a warm and peaceful three weeks. We have no hesitation in recommending highly for a stay.
