The interior combines salvaged pieces of antique furniture with contemporary accessories, achieving a harmonious balance between tradition and functionality. Designed with a deep respect for the environment, the restoration was carried out according to sustainable principles, incorporating innovative systems that guarantee complete energy efficiency, including a photovoltaic system that offers free recharging for electric vehicles. The property is surrounded by a generous yard that includes a colorful garden bordered by century-old oak trees, a fruit grove, and a 3.5-hectare vineyard. Wireless Internet connection is available throughout the property, keeping you connected while you enjoy the absolute tranquility of this unique setting. 2 covered parking spaces are provided on-site for your convenience, ensuring a comfortable and practical stay from the moment of your arrival.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Il Molinaccio are as captivating as the interiors, offering a seamless extension of the property's natural elegance. The property is immersed in a one-hectare park consisting primarily of woodland, while the house itself is surrounded by approximately 6,000 square metres of well-maintained garden lawn framed by old oak trees that provide generous shade and a natural coolness on warm summer days. Rose bushes and geraniums add vibrant splashes of color to this oasis of green and tranquility. A beautiful stone portico, furnished with a table and benches, provides an ideal setting for pleasant outdoor meals in the open air. Just outside the kitchen, a large paved area has been equipped as an additional dining space, perfect for alfresco gatherings. A large barbecue is available for your use, inviting you to prepare flavorful grills accompanied by a glass of the estate's own Nobile di Montepulciano. The small forest is crossed by the river Salcheto, along which the owners Marco and Alessandro have created a walking footpath with natural bridges, ideal for leisurely strolls or moments of relaxation on handmade wooden benches while enjoying the surrounding natural landscape. Along the river, 3D targets representing local animals have been positioned, transforming the path into a fully fledged Field Archery Range where both professionals and amateurs may practice or learn this ancient sport with the assistance of a skilled trainer. A small outbuilding serves as a laundry facility. The property's cats wander freely throughout the park, adding a charming and authentic rural atmosphere to your stay. Please be aware that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the color of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
Positioned in front of the villa, set among the walls of the old trench where water was once collected and channeled to the watermill, the scenic infinity swimming pool is a true highlight of the estate. Open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October, the pool is non-heated and measures 5 x 18 metres, with a depth varying from 1.20 metres to 1.60 metres. Rather than conventional chlorine treatment, the pool uses a saltwater disinfection system, which is considerably healthier, free from added chemicals, and offers notable benefits including reduced eye irritation and improved tanning. The water has a light and pleasant salty taste. The rectangular pool is equipped with Roman steps for easy water access, underwater lighting, and a cold-water shower. The surrounding solarium area is paved with travertine and furnished with sunbeds, deckchairs, umbrellas, and small tables. Not far from the pool's edge, beneath an ancient oak tree, a dedicated relaxation area has been arranged with a comfortable lounge suite, perfect for unwinding in the shade after a swim.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled on a gentle hill in Pieve Caina, a hamlet within the Municipality of Marsciano, in the heart of Umbria, Italy, La Vecchia Pieve is an extraordinary vacation rental that seamlessly blends centuries-old architectural heritage with refined contemporary living. This three-storey stone and brick farmhouse, dating to the late 19th century, is distinguished by its imposing walls and characteristic small windows, originally conceived to retain warmth in winter and maintain cool interiors during summer. A meticulous renovation has honoured the original structure, preserving round vaults, terracotta floors, and exposed chestnut beams, while the owners' discerning modern sensibility has introduced warm, welcoming spaces with a minimal aesthetic. Resin flooring animates the convivial kitchen, parquet and bleached ceiling beams lend elegance to the spacious bedrooms, and stoneware finishes define the bathrooms. The property offers complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity throughout, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. A private yard of 4,000 square metres of partially fenced parkland, rich with oaks, cypresses, olive trees, and lavender, provides a serene natural setting. The infinity swimming pool crowns the outdoor experience, while a dedicated parking area with 2 covered and 2 uncovered spaces ensures effortless arrivals and departures. La Vecchia Pieve is an ideal retreat for those seeking privacy, relaxation, and tranquillity in one of Italy's most culturally and naturally rich regions.
Outdoors
The expansive grounds of La Vecchia Pieve extend across 4,000 square metres of partially fenced parkland, set within a stretch of hilly Umbrian countryside. The vegetation is authentically local, featuring oaks, cypresses, olive trees, lavender, box trees, and a mixed grass lawn of approximately 1,500 square metres. The surrounding landscape shifts with the seasons, with arable land and vineyards painting the hills in shades of yellow and ochre during summer, while woodland flora including wild asparagus, dog rose, butcher's broom, hawthorn, juniper, holly, bay, strawberry trees, and blackthorn complete the natural tapestry. Stone and travertine steps connect the various levels of the property, making it easy to stroll through the grounds. Past the automatic entrance gate, a short dirt and gravel drive leads to the parking area. A well-kept green lawn surrounds the section of the garden between the parking area and the ground floor of the house, extending toward the pool area. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden's grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The non-heated infinity swimming pool is positioned slightly above the first floor of the house, approximately 15 metres away, and is reached via a path of large and small travertine steps. The pool measures 5 metres in width and 12.5 metres in length, of which 2.5 metres consist of a shallow beach area 30 centimetres deep with 5 entry steps, while the remaining 10 metres range in depth from 1.10 to 1.95 metres. Lined in sand-coloured PVC with a travertine border, the pool is equipped with salt purification and internal lighting, and is set in a secluded, quiet position that is barely visible from the house. The travertine solarium surrounds the pool on 2 sides and is furnished with sunbeds, deck chairs, and a large umbrella. A bamboo and wisteria-covered pergola with a dining table and a fixed barbecue completes this outdoor entertaining area. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October.
