"I would return."

"We stayed here for 5 nights at the beginning of May. We were made most welcome by Caroline and Pino and the dogs. Caroline gave us a tour of the grounds and the tower. We had booked the room in the tower (purely on price) but for convenience we were offered the larger Molinello which has its own patios both front and rear. The house itself has a lot of history. The facilities are excellent with a pool, bikes and a vegetable garden. Cortona is a short drive and has some nice restaurants and plenty of history. We are really pleased we chose Molino di Bordone as it is an ideal location for day trips or just chilling. Thank you Caroline and Pino for being such great hosts. Charlie and Lesley"

"We thoroughly enjoyed out stay, the farmhouse and the surrounding property was beautiful. So quiet and peaceful whatever the time, yet very closely situated to great restaurants, towns and cities. The hosts were incredibly pleasant and helpful, made us feel very much at home. Would highly recommend. Thank you!"

"We arrived at this little slice of heaven after 3 busy days in Florence. We were thrilled with this beautiful restored farmhouse and the peaceful gorgeous setting. The owners were out of the country, but their sweet helpful young adult children could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Our flat was well equipped, and the bed was fantastic, with a nice cool dark room, we finally got a good nights sleep after 2 weeks in Europe. Great location to explore all of Tuscany, or just relax by the pool. Fantastic restaurant close by, both kids work there and it was the best meal we had. Stop at the market, get some good meat, cheese and wine, help yourself to their wonderful garden, and settle in. Our only complaint was that we didn't stay another week."

"Molino di Bordone fulfilled all of expectations and then some. Pino, Caroline and family made our stay comfortable and memorable. Our unit (Il Torre) was well equipped and beautifully updated. The grounds were lovely and all tenants were extremely friendly. We would definitely recommend this beautiful place in Tuscany."

"The setting is quiet and centered, yet not far from shops, restaurants and the autostrada. Our apartment (Il Torre) was clean and well equipped, The owners, Pino and Caroline were unfailingly warm, friendly and full of helpful information. We would heartily recommend a stay here."

"Foi muito bom ter estado por quase uma semana no Molino di Bordone.

Eu, minha filha e minha esposa ficamos na Torre Suite, e podemos dizer que é uma ótima opção para quem quer aproveitar as maravilhas da Toscana e da Úmbria.

O lugar é muito agradável, bem mantido e os proprietários simpáticos.

Tem até uma horta e dá pra andar de bicicleta.

Trata-se de um posto estratégico para explorar o coração da Itália."

"This apartment was our 8th we booked through Holiday rentals on this trip and it was the perfect place to relax and unwind after a few months touring. The farm is set in a well maintained garden with a very inviting pool. It is only a few minutes from the local village and about 10 from Cortona. It is an ideal location to explore the countryside or just chill out. Both Caroline and Pino and their children were perfect host and made us feel very welcome. We stayed in the smallest apartment which was adequate for our needs though those wanting a bit more room might find one of the others better. While apartment didn't have airconditioning you didn't need it even though it was in the 30sC every day, the thick walls and the overhead fans kept it very comfortable.

The Tuscan country side is just magic and we couldn't imagine a better place to stay and enjoy it followed by a dip in the pool on your return.

"We were referred to Il Molino by friends who have had family reunions here for many years. Now we know why they unequivocally recommended that we look no further for a place to stay in Tuscany. Not just a place to sleep and leave our stuff but to feel, dare I say “at home”, during our stay.

We spent a week at the Nobile’s comfortable Tower Suite, with our teenage daughter. We were made to feel at home from our initial encounter with the Nobile’s children, who showed us our accommodations, made dinner recommendations and reservations, and filled us in on that evening’s entertainment, a festival in which they were participating in town.

From then on, all we had to do was to express a concern or desire and Caroline or Pino would be quick to make suggestions about road trips, sights, or unique experiences, such as a dinner at the home of a local chef/farmer. It was like being at home, but in a new and exciting environment.

Using this as our home base, we were able to explore most of Tuscany’s, and some of Umbria’s, historical and enchanting cities via easy one day round-trips by car.

We wished we’d had an extra week to explore all the sites and gastronomic experiences. And, maybe another week just to hang out by the pool."

"Caroline and Pino are consummate hosts, who have done an amazing job in restoring their property and the grounds. It's right on the Tuscany/Umbria border - and it's easy to get to Florence, Siena, Perugia etc. The apartment was just right for the vacation - and would definitely stay there again. Try their olive oil too!"

"My husband and I stayed in the Torre suite for 3 days,and loved every miute of it.The property is in a great location for exploring Tuscany and Umbria,and the owners are wonderful.They are very very helpful and can fill you in on all you need to know about the area."

AMY D. San Antonio Tx - Stayed May 2010

"My husband and I spent unfortunately only a few days in such a graceful property! We enjoyed peace into a sunny atmosphere and get pleasure from viewing and smelling and listening wonderful nature and landscape all around!!! Sweet hills, olive groves, emerald fields, flowers beds, trees, pond full of singing frogs, delightful petting animals!

Our stay in Torre Suite was magic because Molino di Bordone is a historic tuscan jewel brought to life with sense and sensibility by Caroline and Pino Nobile!

Thanks to Nobile family's warm welcome...we will come back!!!"

"As you drive down the track lined with Cypruss trees and Molino di Bordoni comes into view your first reaction is "this is too good to be true - it's beautiful". We've stayed here 3 times now and still get that initial buzz arriving at Pino & Caroline's place. Our latest visit was the best ever. We were lucky to have such good fellow guests, we really clicked with each other. Daytime we went our separate ways, evenings we shared our experiences and stories over a glass or two of wine on the patio. The weather was so warm we sat out chatting 'til late every night!

Pino & Caroline have a super family and the warmth of their hospitality made all the difference to our stay. This is the kind of place where you can do as much or as little as you want. You'll have a great time."

"This is a beautiful place in the country. It is on the border of Tuscany and Umbria. We used it as a home base to explore Florence, Sienna, Assisa among others.

The walled city of Cortona is in the hills above.

The owners Caroline and Pino were very attentative to our needs and whims.

My wife and I rented an apartment style room for a week. It has a kitchen and bathroom with washer. If you don't like to be in a hotel in a busy city and want a country experience that is close to all the great attractions of central Italy, this is a great place."

"Das Anwesen ist wunderschön, die Blicke in die umgebende Landschaft herrlich, der Pool super zum Schwimmen und Lesen und Sonnenbaden. Die Torre Suite befindet sich im ersten Stock des alten Tabakturms und besteht aus einer kleinen, aber gut ausgestatteten Küche, einem großen und gemütlichen Schlafzimmer mit sehr bequemem Bett und einem Bad mit Badewanne. Das Wohnzimmer im oberen Stockwerk gehört nicht zur Torre Suite, sondern kann theoretisch von allen Mietern benutzt werden (in unserer Zeit hat das Zimmer allerdings niemand genutzt, auch wir nicht). Der Sitzplatz vor der Tür ist schön, ausreichend für zwei Leute und mit genug Privatssphäre.

Die Vermieter waren während unseres Aufenthalts nicht vor Ort, aber ihr Sohn Antonio hat sich sehr nett um uns gekümmert und hatte jede Menge gute Tipps zu Wanderungen, Essen und Unternehmungen. Die Atmosphäre ist ungezwungen und relaxed und sehr freundlich. Für uns war es eine perfekte Woche im Paradis, wir haben die Umgebung zu Fuß erkundet und die Landschaft genossen. Wir würden sehr gerne irgendwann noch einmal unseren Urlaub in der Molino di Bordone verbringen.

Das einzige, was noch wichtig zu erwähnen ist: die Nobiles haben drei Hunde (und zwei Katzen), die frei auf dem gesamten Gelände herumlaufen und durchaus auch des Öfteren mal bellen. Die Hunde sind sehr freundlich, aber wer Angst vor Hunden hat wird sich hier eher nicht wohl fühlen."
