Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Wow --- what a room: classic Cotto floor, classic furnitures - all in an old water mill.
The home made cakes are a treat.....easy to go to Pisa and still enjoying the Tuscany country side.
Had a great vacation there.

I first noticed Il Molendino on Trip Advisor several years ago. My wife and I were finally able to travel to Italy and recently spent five nights here. We were not disappointed. Everything we hoped for from the previous reviews was true...Il Molendino is a beautiful place to stay. Our room was the suite Pietraia, a large room, beautifully decorated and with a great view. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and very clean. The setting is quiet. Stefano and Fabiola are wonderful hosts. The breakfasts are very good with a variety of choices to start your day right. Fabiola gave us directions and suggestions for our day trips. Stefano went out of his way to help us with a parking ticket we received while in Pisa. We felt very welcome and right at home the entire time we were there. Calci is a very nice small town in a good location to explore the area. We visited Pisa, Florence, San Gimignano and Lucca, all easily reached from Il Molendino. We were sad to leave this place and would stay there again without hesitation. If you're visiting the area, Il Molendino is the place to stay!

Stunning country house, comfortable and wellcoming room, amazing surroundings, delicious breakfast and over all the kindness of the hosts! It has been a wonderful stay for the two of us, we literally felt in love of this place and we recommend it. Me and my boyfriend we were looking for a relaxing place, not far from some attractions and at the same time comfortable like being at home, we found Il Molendino matching our needs and expectations.

We visited Il Molendino again. Seventh time. Many of our friends and colleagues at work ask us: "Why do you go there again?" We always respond like: "Because we love it there so much!"
And this is the truth. We love this place, we love the calmness and location of it, we love the equipment and cleanliness of the rooms/suite, we love the hospitality of Fabiola and Stefano, we love that Calci offers enough service - restaurants, big grocery shop, fantastic gelateria, bakery, butchery, local market every week and so on.
It is easy to get from this location to Pisa or to the sea (Marina di Pisa, Tirrenia, etc) either by car or by bus. Also other famous cities like Lucca, San Gimignano, San Miniato, Firenze and so on are quite close to it.
If you fancy to relax on holiday and do no stay in (over)crowded city centers or in their suburbs, Il Molendino in Calci is your choice!
Thank you Fabiola and Stefano for your hospitality and for Il Molendino! Hope to see you next summer.

My wife and I stayed at Il Molendino two years ago during our first trip to Tuscany. When we decided to return to the area this year there was no doubt where we would stay. Our second visit was every bit as enjoyable as the first. Fabiola and Stefano greeted us like old friends. Once again we stayed in the suite Pietraia. This room is like having your own apartment. There is plenty of space to relax, the bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is large. The shower has plenty of hot water and good pressure. With the guest kitchen adjacent to the suite you have use of the refrigerator to store cold items or in case you want to buy some food at the local market for an evening snack. Fabiola's breakfasts are wonderful. A great variety of food is available to suit all tastes. From cereals to pastries, meat and cheese and of course her wonderful homemade cakes. If you need advice on places to go, your hosts are more than willing to help you. Located close to Pisa, Il Molendino is in a great spot to explore the area. Thanks again Fabiola and Stefano. We hope to return in the future! Jack and Gina

This old mill/house in sunny Tuscany is surrounded by colours and the shade of dozens of fruit-, olive- and other trees. Restored and refurbished truly tastefully and with respect for age-old features. The room, the garden, breakfast: every little detail reflects the 'loving care' with which host and hostess tend to their guests' every need. We thoroughly enjoyed every single dinner we had at Il Molendino, too: honest, tasty homecooked food with the best ingredients and the hostess' loving touch. A two weeks' stay has left us with dozens of fond memories, ànd a wish: to return to the people and the place. George de Badts, Magda De Peuter

This is truly an amazing place in a lovely setting, with Mount Pisano rising up behind this 14th century converted mill. Fabiola and Stephano are superb hosts. Rooms spotless, beds very comfortable, breakfast is sensational with Fabiola's home baking and freshly squeezed orange juice.
The location is just right for Pisa (20 mins) and Lucca (30 mins) by car. Florence is only an hour away (car to Pontedera and get the train into the city.) Cinque Terre, San Gim, Siena, are all within an hour and a half to two hours easy drive.
Also, if you are using a car, its worth taking a short trip north out of Calci into the hills. You go up about 2000 feet (great views) and descend into the village of Buti (nice restaurants, i Maggi was lovely). Takes about 30 mins to get there.
So, in my opinion, if you are looking for great accommodation in a beautiful setting, as an ideal base to tour Tuscany, look no further. This is it. You have reached your destination.

My husband and I (Dutch and French -US residents) stayed at this B&B three nights (June 18-21, 2017). This old mill has been lovingly restored and offers the charm of a traditional Tuscan setting and style combined with the comfort of a modern day home (great wifi connection, excellent mattress, AC, comfortable armchairs and enough lamps and electrical outlets, etc.) We appreciated the great attention to details of our hosts such as good quality bathroom products, information about the region (and we even got a lift to a local organic olive grove to buy olive oil), linen table clothes and pretty table setting/tableware and the breakfast on the terrace was such a treat! Fabiola is a wonderful cook and every morning we truly enjoyed her freshly baked croissants and a beautiful cake or pie, fresh fruits from the garden, wonderful bread and delicious local cheese, etc. freshly squeezed oranges, excellent coffee, etc. Our hosts Fabiola and Stefano were gracious and discrete and extremely helpful. We highly recommend this place. It was a joy to spend some time there.

Il Molendino is a beautifully restored centuries-old mill that has enormous charm and comfort as well as reasonable prices and a good location in the quiet village of Calci outside of Pisa, near the Arno. We passed through for two nights there and spent a day visiting the Certosa di Pisa in town, a former Carthusian monastery (including the University of Pisa’s natural history museum), walking about downtown Calci (which is not very exciting, except for the wonderful Romanesque Pieve of St John and Ermolao), and walking about in the hills surrounding the town. As Calci is only 10km from Pisa, it would also make an excellent quiet base for visiting Pisa and perhaps Lucca as well. Our hosts were extremely friendly and very helpful (though we weren’t very happy with our experience in the restaurant Cincetto that was recommended). Our room was spacious and incredibly beautiful. Very highly recommended.
