Inside the hotel it’s still possible to see a lot of ancient details, which testify the old function of this building, when millers used it to grind the grain. The footways and the corridors which lead to the rooms have been obtained over the deep mill-race, where running water, thanks to the big wooden wheel, revolved. Of this wheel, only the central pivot has lasted through the centuries. Characteristic and typical of Tuscany is the central lounge, with its thirteen arches, all of them in stone and fired bricks. In this wonderful and large lounge, where Ultimo Mulino welcomes their guests, is served the rich Buffet breakfast. In the lounge you can find also a precious piano and the old wood-fired oven.
