Hi Stepehn and Cathy,
We wanted to thank you for such a wonderful experience that staying at your villa gave our family.
It was as close to perfect as one could ask for.  A magical experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives. 
Your home is beautiful and had everything we could possibly want to make our stay there comfortable and your well stocked kitchen was a delight to cook in. The beautiful plates and platters gave our table a truly authentic Italian feel.The Village of Radda was a lovely village that carried everything we needed and the gourmet delicatessen was an experience to shop at. The locals were so friendly and the twenty minute drive to the large Hyper-market was breathtaking. We really enjoyed our food shopping experiences, so much better than the mundane food shopping at home when all around is new products and beautifully fresh produce. Our meals together as a family at the villa were memorable.
We look forward to staying at the villa again, perhaps next time in the Summer!.
Sarah Lili Leo and Oliva (Australia)

We had a wonderful holiday in this fantastic house in one of the most beautiful parts of Italy. The situation and size of the house enabled us to to have the whole family together but gave us space and privacy if we wanted quiet time to think and reflect.
We will take away many happy memories of good food, wine, frosty mornings, the sun rising out of the mist, magical landscapes of vineyards, ancient buildings and old towns. I could go on and on. We hope to be back.
The Kerridge family, Cornwall, Dec 2008

It  took months of planning to find the right house for our family reunion. Il Mulinaccio was PERFECT. It lived up to all our expectations and some. Our Christmas together was wonderful and we spent the week together cooking, drinking local wine, walking, playing and more cooking. We ate like kings and queens all from your wonderful well stocked kitchen. The herb garden came in very habdy as did the wild rocket. We had fantastic meals together.
You have a beautiful home and we loved every minute of our stay. Thank you.
The Callisto family, Perth, Dec 2008.

The accommodation was superb, comfortable. Best of all was the camaraderie, the conversations, lunches, dinners and reflection on many subjects common to us all. We had so much fun here.
The McLennans, Sydney, Jan 2009

Just magnificent. Great location in Tuscany with wonderful hosts and superb R and R after busy, noisy Rome. Many thanks.
Tim Fischer, Australian Ambassador to the Vatican, Mar 2009

We just had a great time here in Il Mulinaccio. The place, the surroundings are just fantastic. Exceptional hospitality and help. We have enjoyed every minute and will come back next year.
The Weisers family, Israel April 2009

Il Mulinaccio was my dream come true. A dream for my family to come together, a dream of a lifestyle, a dream of a country and a dream of a home. I fell instantly in love when I walked into the house. It has a really good feel about it. Thank you for making our stay such a memorable one. Please prepare for our return.]
The Sullivan family, Apr 2009

Our few days at Il Mulinaccio have been full of unique moments.time to catch up and talk about the ‘good old days’. Thanks for such a wonderful experience. We now have a new base in Italy and will be back.
The Wards, Sydney May 2009

We had a wonderful stay at Il Mulinaccio. The house and grounds were even better than we anticipated and it was the most relaxing part of our holiday. We particularly enjoyed catching up with old friends in this great atmosphere and hopefully we will do it again.
Peter Coates AO, Sydney May 2009

This is a magical, beautiful place. I had a most wonderful time relaxing, exploring the stunning surrounding area, swimming, eating and more relaxing. I can’t imagine anyone coming here and not being enchanted. A truly brilliant week.
The Thomas party, London July 2009

We have so enjoyed our stay here. Just the best place. Many thanks for our wonderful fortnight’s loan of your beautiful house. It is wonderful, a mini Paradise and we don’t want to leave this peaceful oasis. Truly ‘La Dolce Vita’. We hope very much to be back one day.
The Clark party, England Jul 2009

"As a wedding planner I’m always on the look out for great venues, sadly I can’t take the credit for finding this villa as the bride and groom found it but it’s certainly one that I will recommend to future clients. The villa is the perfect setting for small intimate weddings, it has loads of great spaces to use, which is really important when choosing a venue for your wedding. Whether dining outside, by the pool or in the large dining room your guests will be guranteed maximum privacy plus all the creature comforts you expect. The villa is in a beautiful location and the photographer had a ball taking photos of the happy couple, and the personal chef who cooked the wedding breakfast was really happy with the kitchen, loads of workspace and equipment. The owners were super available to answer any questions relating to the actual wedding day. A perfect location".
Jackie Bradshaw – Marry me in Tuscany Ltd - September 2009

 

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. It was the perfect place for our Tuscan wedding; we wouldn’t have asked for anything more. We will always look back with the happiest of memories of our time here and hopefully one day return.
 Zoe and Jon, England (October 2009)

Congratulations on the stunning home you have created here in Gaiole. When we visited Il Molinaccio last year it was hard to believe you could make it even more beautiful but you have really added all the finishing touches. You’ve done what we’d all love to do and we can’t wait to return.
 The Buntings , Australia (September 2009)

It’s wonderful to find you enjoying such a beautiful place in such a truly beautiful part of the world. No wonder you have replaced Australia with this gem – easy choice. We hope we have the pleasure of returning in the near future.

 Stephens party, Australia (May 2010)

We couldn’t have found a more beautiful, serene and comfortable place to spend some special time with our cherished friends and family. Il Mulinaccio is a splendid place, surrounded by so much beauty and filled with great energy. Every corner is a haven – from the pool where we enjoyed lazy afternoons to the al fresco table wher we enjoyed relaxing breakfasts listening to the sounds of the creek and watching the kids chasing the butterflies. The warmth of your hospitality and your passion for this land and this place nestled in the heart of Chianti show through all the details that make Il Molinaccio very special. Thank you; we look forward to coming back soon.
 The Shillito party, Australia (July 2010)

The three generations of us enjouyed our stay. The house is beautiful and very well kept. The garden is spacious and relaxing. We will have many fond memories. The kids chasing white butterflies or splashing in the pool, picking our daily salad from the garden, listening to the sound of the stream in the evening and your discreet but friendly presence was very much appreciated. Thanks for everything.
 De Rougemont party (July 2010)

Coming to your house is like stepping into a warm bath. It was better than expected and a great place to stay. Many thanks. Your welcome was special and we will cherish it as a lovely, welcoming start of a truly great time. Good vibes, positive energy. Be proud of yourselves and be proud of what you give to anyone who is privileged to stay at Il Molinaccio.
 The Schuwer party, Holland (July 2010)
