ON HOLIDAY WITH CHILDREN AT FARMHOUSE AND B&B IL MOLINELLO IN THE HEART OF CRETE SENESI NEAR SIENA

To the children Il Molinello offers a large garden and a playground with children's slides, swings and a trampoline.

In the land of Siena, so rich in history and natural beauty, time seems to have come to a halt. Sweeping scenery of rare beauty, an embroidery forged by knowing and patient hands. Small hamlets almost perfectly preserved

IN NATURE

Travelling with children in the Land of Siena invites you to slow down so that you may appreciate and enjoy the many marvellous things this environment offers. A voyage to search out the varieties of nature and its colours as well as the signs which mankind has left on it.

This is because the Nature Train passes through areas which are ‘virgin', far from roads and where the eye sees only forests and rivers.
