The Experience

Elegant Patrizia has filled this 17th-century mill with stylish bits and pieces, interesting objets and bright splashes of colour. When she and her husband aren’t living here they open it up for groups and what a fun place this is to assemble your loved ones. There’s a laid-back living room overlooking the flower-filled garden and inviting pool; a huge kitchen/diner which spills onto the terrace; an enticing spot to spend long lazy evenings eating and drinking.

You’re surrounded by ancient citrus groves but you’re in the village so you can stroll to cafés for a cappuccino or gelato. Patrizia is super-connected and can arrange anything you fancy: wine-tasting, cookery courses, markets in baroque Lecce; and it’s only 15 minutes to the Castro marina. Head back to loll around the pool and have a barbecue on the terrace.

Sleep in restful bedrooms (two of which can also sleep a child) with clean lines and spoiling bathrooms.

Reviews

The home is just that, well furnished, relaxed, interesting and well provisioned, However it is Patrizia that really sets this property apart. Patrizia guided our itinerary with her wide knowledge of an area she obviously truly loves, Patrizia also was there to help us when a member of our party was taken unwell, which we truly appreciated. Patrizia is a great host and we were made to feel most comfortable whilst really having the chance to see, visit and eat things across the region that would have otherwise taken us weeks of research! Thanks again Patrizia.

Elliot, Fife, Scotland

Il Mulino is a special location, surrounded by greenery and nature and, at the same time, in the center of a small village with all comforts. Patrizia is a truly welcoming host, smart and very kind always ready to give you any suggestions on what to do and where to go and, above all, she really makes you feel at home.

Il mulino is a charming home. Our first stay in puglia was just amazing. We came here with our four kids and we were so happy with our choice. Everything about this home is warm and welcoming. The house is filled with light, beautifully furnished. The kitchen is fantastic, pots and pans-more than enough to satisfy any cook. Il mulino offers well-designed features that focus on relaxing. The large outdoor swimming pool serves as the main hangout all day long; it's surrounded by sun loungers. Patrizia+Robin are great. Detailed, informative and very helpful. Mille grazie. We didn't want to leave.

The neighbourhood

Walks from the door are gorgeous - you're steeped in Apulian countryside. The town has two supermarkets, one of which is also a deli and offers takeaway food, a pizzeria and a couple of bars. There are many excellent restaurants in the nearby villages - Spongano and Poggiardo, both about 2km. Patrizia can also provide a cook. It's a short drive to magnificent Lecce or the coast.
