Il Mulino di Caprese is located in the charming, Tuscan, medieval town of Caprese Michelangelo, birthplace of Renaissance maestro, Michelangelo.
Caprese Michelangelo is a small town of approx. 1,500 inhabitants in the Tuscan countryside of the Upper Tiber Valley and offers breath-taking views over serene, rolling Tuscan hills and valleys. The town has strong sense of community and boasts some of the finest restaurants in the area.
Il Mulino di Caprese is located in a quiet hamlet that was formerly a working mill. Local amenities and superb local restaurants specialising in seasonal dishes with truffles, wild mushrooms and boar are all within a short drive. The property has been beautifully restored and has 2 ‘wings’ to it as it incorporates the former millers house and the granary, the older tower section, creating a perfect area for guests with 2 spacious bedrooms both with ensuite bathrooms.
Il Mulino di Caprese is set out over 3 floors for a total area of approx. 230 sq m and is divided into two sections, the Miller’s House and the Old Granary, as follows:
The Miller’s House

Part of the farmhouse dates back to the 1400 with the ‘new build’ being added in 1800’s. It has been restored with great care and attention creating a wonderful home with beautiful spaces inside and out. The house flows well as one home and is perfect for hosting friends and family. If desired, the property could easily be separated into 2 homes with the simple addition of a kitchen to The Old Granary creating an opportunity to have a rental income.
Access to the property is via a short, well maintained white road. There is a parking bay for 4-6 cars. The grounds are partly owned by the seller (approx. 750 sq m) and in part rented land from the local council (approx. 950 sqm) on an annual basis. There is a large terrace with ample dining space that overlooks the land and grassed area that leads down to the river. Mature trees provide some natural shade in the summer.
