Old Mill Time Grinder…
The millstones stopped here in 1960 and since then only the sound of the water has marked the time.
The Borgo has been renovated but has kept its origins steadfast despite the fact that the millstones have now become just tables. A Madonnina awaits you at the entrance to the road to the Mill.
We live in Bologna and we spend weekends and holidays here; for years we have been trying to keep memories of the past alive by keeping the paths clean, raising HOVAWART, organizing events to keep the territory and its origins alive, to offer a shared experience.
We will welcome you for a short or long stop ... it will be up to you to decide ... we can offer you a refreshment break for a coffee, a snack or offer you a meal by adding a seat at the table;
We can welcome you in tents (one of which is very special) or in a heated tavern with bathroom and use of the kitchen.
We also offer hospitality to large or small animals;
We can tell you about events in the area;
We can take the third stage with you (if you wish) welcoming you to the Church of Barbarolo, of which thanks to a scholar friend we have various information, and arrive together at the Mandrullo Mill along the 23 km that connect the two places together.
We can carry luggage and look after your animals if they may have difficulties along the way.
You will decide how much to spend because what we offer is a welcome service with a donation, that is, you can decide how much to pay us based on the services you want to use ... all in compliance with the principles of voluntary hospitality: EVERYONE GIVES WHAT HE CAN AND WHAT MATTERS IS THE WISH TO DO.
