La Mulattiera, an ancient Tuscan farmhouse dating back to the early twentieth century, stands majestically in the tranquil countryside of Scarlino. Recently restored, the building has preserved the charm of the past, with architectural details that tell stories of yesteryears and agricultural traditions. The rooms, skillfully created from the historic stables, still showcase the origins of the troughs, now transformed into elegant headboards, creating an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. The floors and ceilings, with classic terracotta tiles and oak beams, narrate a story of local craftsmanship and a passion for beauty.
At the entrance, the imposing stone arch carries the emblem of the original family, engraved with initials and the year of construction, 1906. This touch of nobility accompanies visitors on a journey through time, where every detail reflects the authenticity of Tuscan rural life. The air is filled with the fragrances of the grape harvest and olive oil, olfactory ties to the past that enrich the stay.
The family managing La Mulattiera, composed of Massimiliano, Lucia, and their lively son Gregorio, welcomes guests with warmth and familiarity. Their long residency in the farmhouse, since 2009, has transformed this place into a refuge not only of relaxation but also of sharing local culture. Knowing the area inside out, they are ready to reveal secrets and treasures that go beyond the usual tourist spots, from quiet beaches to trattorias celebrating local gastronomy.
La Mulattiera is located just six kilometers from the sea, overlooking a panorama that stretches into the Gulf of Follonica, immersed in a context of peace and serenity. Three kilometers away, the picturesque Bagno di Gavorrano offers daily necessities for guests. For cycling enthusiasts, the famous trail number 39 winds through enchanting scenery, making nature exploration an unforgettable experience for both beginners and experts.
The absence of breakfast service is compensated by a focus on guest autonomy, who can find everything needed to prepare their own meals within the accommodations. La Mulattiera, with its rich history and family atmosphere, presents itself as an ideal retreat for those who wish to explore and experience Tuscany from an authentic and independent perspective.
