We are pleased to offer this captivating renovated water mill with swimming pool located in the centre of the Valle del Teggina in the upper Casentino surrounded by greenery and on the edge of the hamlet of Raggiolo, some 5km from Ortignano Raggiolo, 11km from Bibbiena and 41km north of Arezzo. The original mill, dating back to the 8th century was renovated between 1997 and 1999 to reflect the original building in stone and chestnut and capture the rich history of the property. Internally, the mill has been extremely well finished with the main room developed around the 4 original stone parts of the mill with a kitchen area with fire and electric barbeque and beautiful wash basin. The sleeping area above, all constructed in chestnut wood provides a master bedroom, a second bedroom with twin beds and a spacious bathroom with shower. Externally there are two verandas which help you pass the day close to nature and close to the large wood burning oven and stone barbecue as well as an above ground swimming pool on one of the terraces. Heating for the property is from a wood burning stove with forced air and a heat pump, the latter guaranteeing during the summer months personalised air conditioning. Access to the property can be along a path of about 300 metres from the picturesque hamlet of Raggiolo, an ancient mule trail or with a suitable off-road vehicle. This is a beautiful renovated mill, ideal for those who love being close to nature and walking among the chestnut trail of the region. The mill has been rented for the past 20 years to those lovers of nature who want peace and quiet.

Casa Travella was founded in 1987 when Linda & Pietro Travella saw an opportunity to offer Italian property for sale. At this time there were very few companies that offered any property for sale in Italy. Now years later read some of their story.

The company is fronted by Linda Travella and Casa Travella started selling property on Lake Como, where Pietro was born and Linda has worked and lived. The company were able to offer advice on numerous properties and ongoing help with all aspects of the buying process. If a client wants to restore a property, then Casa Travella can source tradesmen and professionals in the area and help with every aspect of the transaction.

When the BBC were looking for someone to speak on BBC Breakfast News about European property Linda was chosen to appear live on the programme. Other TV and radio programmes followed including Radio 5 Live, and ‘I want that House’ with Mark Simpkins, where Linda appeared in 6 episodes, the last one being a live programme from Florida, where an Italian apartment was given away as a prize. Linda appeared for RTE, Irish TV and for Channel 4‘s ‘A Place in the Sun’, where she accompanied Amanda Lamb along the shores of Lake Como by boat, to show her some of the stunning villas, including the one owned by George Clooney.

The Casa Travella team are always pleased to help when clients want to buy or sell a property in Italy. The office is multilingual with English, Italian and Spanish being spoken.

Linda says: ‘I feel proud that we can offer property for sale in many areas of Italy and we are able to give clients independent and professional advice on areas and types of property to suit their budget and needs.’

The Casa Travella team look forward to helping you buy or sell your Italian home.
