May 16, 2009 Joan LeBlanc Review Rating : 5/5 \"This was our first trip to Italy (we are a fifty-something married couple). It was recommended by a friend. This is the perfect place to either relax and stay put OR to take day trips to every hilltown in Tuscany & Umbria. A great central location for both. We couldn\'t decide which we preferred! Turned out our favorite hilltown was nearby Cortona. Our experience was beyond our expectations, the farmhouse is so lovely and inviting, spotlessly clean, well furnished, the pool is wonderful, and the owners treat you like special guests. We originally scheduled a week\'s stay and ended up staying an extra 3 days! The pictures do not even begin to capture this breathtaking place. We hope all our of friends can eventually find their way to this incredible place. \"
Peter Robert Hadfield Review Rating : 5/5 \"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.\"
We are having a marvellous time here at Il Molino di Bordone....we still have another week here and are looking forward to further exploring the Tuscan and Umbrian countryside. We are staying in La Fontanella and everything is superb. The kitchen is a showcase...all very modern appliances and such but built in a delightful Tuscan wood decor...beautiful granite counters. Everything here is done to a very high standard and the decor is inspirational. While the photos on the website are attractive, they don\'t capture the full beauty of La Fontanella and the surrounding gardens and green areas.
