In the properties that belonged to the Duke of Montefeltro, there are many testimonies of the magnificence of the family. An excursion of great interest is the one that leads from the Mutino Valley, Municipality of Fortino, to the castle with the 12th century tower. On the way, however, a still functioning mill deserves a stop. Here the owners will prepare you an excellent lunch with homemade ravioli, at the romantic table at the top of the Tower. This was built to have a guard post for the facility that grinded grain for the community. By asking, the door of the bread museum will be opened to you where, through a guided tour, you will learn about the history and the mechanism of the mill in fresh and clean rooms. Water is captured from the Mutino stream, taking advantage of a certain slope, using the energy of the fall to make the blades work. You can hear the beating of the water on them, there are no engines, only wood, stone and water to feed and respect what the environment offers.
