Six siblings decided to visit Italy, we picked a place that could accommodate all of us and Il Molino di Bordone fit the bill to a tee! Each couple had their own room & bathroom, but we still had plenty of spaces to gather as a group. It was a wonderful experience that would be highly recommended to anyone. Beautiful place! Thank you

Our week at Molino di Bordone was everything we had imagined and more. Our party included four children (11, 5, 4, and 2 years old) and they all had a blast playing in the pool, on the swings and trampoline, and with the friendly family dogs. Caroline and Pino are extraordinarily gracious hosts--procuring some local wine for us on our first evening, arranging a vineyard tour, and answering all sorts of questions. Ask for Miriam to come and cook for your family--our children enjoyed helping her cook two outstanding homestyle meals of pasta, pork, tiramisu, etc. And we highly recommend a driving tour with Pino. We spent the day travelling to vineyards, ancient villages, towns, and castles we never would have found on our own, and Siena. The villa is in a perfect location, hidden among rolling hills and the countryside of Cortona. During our week we did side trips to Florence, Arezzo, Assisi, and Lake Trasimeno. If we lived closer, we'd be regulars. Thank you, Caroline and Pino!

If you have a young family and want to get away from it al and not have to worry about your children every few minutes then this really is the place for you. Our family of four - two young children - completely fell in love with this charming retreat and the surrounding area and found Caroline and Pino (the owners) not only very helpful but so friendly and welcoming. Would very much recommend this to anyone looking to put their feet up although Siena and many more attractions are a mere short trip away so if you can tear yourself away from the loverly countryside then make the trip. My advice is go on make the booking - you wont be disappointed.

We had an extended family gathering if 16 in this beautiful setting. The 7 groups within this fitted easily and comfortably into the 4 units of the Molino with all cooking and eating outside at La Fontanella. Excellent space for both privacy and all the communal activities. Regular raids on the herb garden and much activity at the swimming pool as well as visits to Cortona, Florence, Sienna, Assisi and several mountain villages. Special mention of the several international football matches -- Europe v USA -- enthusiastically joined by the Nobile children. Easy shopping and good walking and eating places. Wall to wall sunshine was expected, but the kindness and helpfulness of the Nobile family was a massive bonus. Most enthusiastically and unconditionally recommended. Buonissimo!

This was my 2nd year visiting Il Molino di Bordone. I fell in love with the setting and villa in 2007 so I decided it would be the perfect venue for my extended family to visit. All 14 members of my family drove up to the villa at 9pm on a hot balmy Tuscan night. We were greeted by the warm and friendly Caroline and Pino with drinks and canapés on the terrace. Immediately everyone was taken by the beautiful setting, the surrounding hills, the stunning architecture and the warm smiles of our hosts. We hired the entire complex for two weeks which afforded the perfect level of privacy for each family group but also provided many facilities for the entire group to enjoy. The latest accommodation nick named “the pig sty” is world class. It is a little (actually quite large!) luxury boutique hotel in the Tuscan hills. Each day we met for breakfast on the terrace before lounging later by the beautiful pool. Each night was a fun filled adventure with BBQ's in the garden, kids playing on the trampoline, walking through the extensive sun-flower fields, feeding the donkey or splashing in the pool. One of the highlights of our holiday was the evening Luca the chef came to visit for our cookery course. We had three fabulous hours making our own pasta, watching Luca at work. Finally at 8.30pm we sat down to dinner on the beautiful outdoor terrace where Luca served the entire family. This is an evening not to miss. The villas are beautiful with every facility you could require or ever imagine. The setting is spectacular! Caroline and Pino are warm, welcoming and fantastic at offering good advice. The location is perfect for touring beautiful Tuscany. The surrounding towns are picture postcard. Don't miss Cortona, Pienza or Montalcino. On our last evening we were lucky enough to watch the Bolshoi Ballet perform in the Main Square of Cortona as we ate dinner in a local restaurant. A night we will never forget. This is the perfect location for any size group. All 14 of my family left Tuscany with a sad heart. We had an amazing holiday which was due largely to the fabulous company but also to the perfect setting and hosts. We will all definitely return to a place which has a special place in our hearts.
