About this property
Tuscan Villa with Private Pool and stunning views sleeping up to 8 people
Villa Prunecchio is a restored farmhouse perched above the Garfagnana valley in the province of Lucca, with southern aspect and stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Situated in the tiny hamlet of Prunecchio and just a 20-minute walk to the village of Chiozza, the house is a haven for those in search of peace and tranquility in a gorgeous Tuscan setting. Several walking routes from the house will take you along ancient mule tracks to medieval bridges and villages, through chestnut forests and way-marked trails. The 10X5 metre private pool has a shallow area for young children and comes equipped with large built barbecue, worktop, sink and shaded pergola. The cities of Lucca ( 1 hour) Pisa (1.5 hours) and even Florence (2 hours) are all within a day-trip, and the medieval towns of Sillico, Castiglione, Pieve Fosciana, Castelnuovo di Garfagnana and San Pelegrino are all within a 20-minute drive.

About the host
Hosted by Colm Breathnach
We came across Prunecchio while on a hike in 2001. The villa was in ruins and it took several years to restore, we then moved into the house with our four young children who grew up here. The boys, now adults, still live in the villa during the wintertime. Colm has now turned his attention to creating an eco-camp site in the forests below the villas (well hidden and distant from Prunecchio) - do take time to come and visit us - we are five minutes down the road on the walking route to Castiglione.

Why they chose this property
Prunecchio is a hamlet back in time where the land is still tended with old world tools and instruments. This place has to be seen and felt to be believed. The view and sunny aspect are magnificent but it is only after a while you tune into the various sounds and sights the immediate vicinity has to offer: crickets, wild boar, deer, cuckoos, owls, woodpeckers, spades, axes, scythes etc. Cars cannot come down to the hamlet which makes it stand apart in its old worldliness
What makes this property unique
Prunecchio is set back in time and has the feel of being isolated and private, whilst at the same time being part of an ancient hamlet and wonderful elderly neighbours who always have time to chat and advise on old techniques of cultivation, building, folklore etc.
You can also walk to both Chiozza and stunning Castilgione di Garfagnana, winner of the Borghi piu belli della Toscana award (most beautiful small town in Tuscany).
