Molino della Befa, where time slows down.
In the heart of the Tuscan hills, locally rooted cuisine celebrates the seasons, traditions, and biodiversity of the region. Il Molino della Befa is a home restaurant where food tells the story of the landscape, the table brings people together, and every experience celebrates the joy of sharing good food and good company.
FOOD
At Il Molino della Befa, food comes from the land and tells the story of its identity.
Wild herbs, carefully selected ingredients, local producers, seasonality, and traditional knowledge shape a cuisine that is simple, natural, deeply connected to the landscape, and open to sharing and connection.
Every ingredient speaks of a place, every recipe preserves a tradition, and every dish celebrates biodiversity. The table becomes a space for gathering and sharing, where food, people, and stories come together in a single experience shaped by flavour and memory.
The Garden
The creation of our kitchen garden is currently a work in progress.
The mill’s old water basin is being transformed into a garden that will supply the kitchen. Following the principles of agroforestry, we have begun restoring the soil through regenerative horticulture, working in harmony with the surrounding environment.
Our goal is to achieve self-sufficiency within two years and to use only vegetables grown here in our kitchen.
In the meantime, we source our produce from local organic growers.
The place
The ancient watermill of the village of Befa is being brought back to life as a place that preserves the deepest soul of this part of Tuscany, where nature still follows its original rhythm and everything invites us to rediscover the value of simplicity.
Woods, streams, trails, and rolling hills surround this corner of the Murlo countryside, shaping a landscape where history, silence, and beauty coexist, and where the relationship between people and nature still feels authentic and profound.
It is a land to be explored slowly, on foot, by bicycle, or on horseback, along paths and country roads that open onto landscapes which still tell the story of a centuries-old relationship between human labour and the power of nature.
We serve a fixed omnivorous menu based on fresh, seasonal ingredients, depending on availability.
We are open for lunch and dinner on Saturdays, and for lunch on Sundays.
We serve a fixed omnivorous menu, created each time around fresh ingredients and the produce available in season.
The meal is designed as a shared experience: you will be welcomed at our communal table, in a relaxed and convivial setting.
We can host up to 12 guests.
Some dishes are served to share, while others are plated individually, also taking into account any dietary requirements you let us know about when booking.
The menu is priced at €55.00 per person.
To complete the experience, we also offer a selection of drinks, including fermented botanical beverages, chosen to complement and enhance the menu.
Reservations are available up to 30 days in advance.
Where We Are
The road leading to the Molino is on the right, just before reaching the small village of La Befa. The turn is very sharp, and the road then descends towards the stream.
It is not possible to drive all the way to the Molino. You can park just before the Crevole stream, cross it via a small iron footbridge, and walk the final 30 metres.
