What We Think
Nestling in the undiscovered region of the Casinca just south of Bastia, U Mulinu is a charmingly renovated flour mill set in fabulous grounds with a private pool and delightful views. Built in the 18th Century next to a stream and surrounded by expansive vineyards and fruit orchards, the setting is truly enchanting and the location wonderfully peaceful. Adding to this: there might be the occasional wild goat or friendly donkey wandering in the grounds, making U Mulinu the perfect pick for nature lovers seeking tranquillity and Corsican authenticity…
As for the accommodation, it is simply furnished yet cosy and full of character. Downstairs, there is a living/dining room and a rustic-style kitchen with access to a fantastic outdoor dining area complete with a built-in barbecue. A spiral staircase leads to the first floor, which houses three bedrooms and a shower room. From here, you can reach another shaded terrace sitting at the back of the property and equipped with a bar area, a water feature and a large hammock. Finally, the swimming pool is simply sublime – it basks in the sun all day long and affords dramatic views across the perched village of Penta-di-Casinca. U Mulinu provides ample corners in which to relax, and is ideal for those wanting to take part in typical Mediterranean al fresco living.
Venture further afield and explore the picturesque Casinca region on foot – there are a number of walking trails in the area, allowing you to discover one arresting scenery of hillside villages, beautiful Roman churches and dramatic views.
This property may not be suitable for young children due to the steep spiral staircase and a few unguarded drops in the gardens and alongside the stream.
