Molinella
Villa Molinella, a Riverside Romantic Retreat in Umbria
Villa Molinella is a beautifully restored stone farmhouse that was once an ancient water mill. It sits right beside a small river, surrounded by lush woodland, an enchanting hideaway immersed in pure nature.
The sound of the water flowing past the terrace,
and the scent of the forest create an atmosphere of total peace and seclusion. This is one of those rare places where you can truly disconnect, breathe, and feel embraced by nature.
The interiors blend rustic textures with warm, elegant details: stone walls, exposed beams, fine fabrics, and a soft play of light that makes every space feel cosy and intimate. Designed for a couple or two, Villa Molinella is the perfect romantic escape — private, soothing, and full of character.
Why I LOVE IT
Villa Molinella is One of the Most Romantic Places I Know.
The moment you arrive, the sound of the river and the scent of the forest make you feel completely at peace. It’s a little world of its own, a retreat surrounded by hills and trees, where time seems to stand still.
I love the underground jacuzzi hidden in the stone cave, it’s such a unique and magical touch. The sauna, the outdoor hot tub, and the small pool make it perfect for relaxing in every season.
This villa is ideal for a couple looking for something truly special, elegant, intimate, and immersed in nature. It’s not about the view this time, but about the feeling: being completely surrounded by green, in the heart of Umbria, with nothing but the sound of water and peace all around.
