We had a great stay at Colm's. Once you manage to find the villa and conquer the mountain with your car, one has an incredible view.
The pool was nice and fairly clean. The villa could have used some more cleaning.
But nonetheless I would stay there again.
A highlight were the selfmade chestnut pancakes Colm offered us at his campsite down the hill ("just walked past the tree eith the funny shape")
Unbelievably stunning setting. You will need to be a confident driver to manage the roads up to the house as the roads are steep and winding as you would expect in Tuscany. The smell of Jasmine and the natural peaceful surrounding beauty is amazing. We used the pool everyday and enjoyed a bbq too. We loved the little lizards, flamboyant butterflies and stargazing at night. There is a great cafe about 29 minutes walking up the hill with a lovely atmosphere and a small local shop to get essentials from. Lots of lovely memories, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
It was a bit of disappointing, because the foto`s on the internet..looked great, but when we arrived, it was nothing like that.
The fotos were 22 jears ago taking, so everything was old or destroyd.
There is no outside kitchen only a barbeque, even as the big table outside, it were 2 old tables togheter.
There were many trouble things.
The accomodation was beautifull but the house is absolutly not worth the price.
I`m sorry, colm is a very nice guy but still..
We arrived late ind the evening and therefore wasn't able to see much of the outside, but when we woke up in the morning we were all very excited. The view from the house over the valley was stunning and the patio in the front of the house was the perfect setting for our mornings afternoons and evening. There's nothing better than to start you day with a dip in a pool in such lovely surroundings. Due to the great weather we didn't spend much time inside, but even though we had been forced indoor the house offers a very cosy living room and dining room. The house have been restored in a way which feels very authentic and we didn't feel any urges to go on many trips, since we felt like we have everything we need there.
Groceries had to be done in a nearby village which is not in a walking distance, but that's to be expected when you want a view like that.
We would definitely recommend the place to others both families and groups of friends.
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Prunecchio. Colm war ein sehr netter und Gastgeber und hat immer schnell auf unsere Anfragen reagiert. Die Anfahrt zum Haus war stellenweise beschwerlich - Tipp: die Strecke, die das Navi ausspuckt genau ansehen und ggf. die vielen engen LandstraĂen in den Bergen umfahren.
La casa di Colm Ăš il posto ideale per immergersi nella natura e nella quiete della Garfagnana. Splendida piscina con vista, ampi spazi esterni e un bel casolare dal sapore tipicamente toscano. Host presente e disponibile x tutte le nostre richieste. Consigliatissimo!
Wir waren insgesamt 7 Personen- 4 Erwachsene, 3 Kinder und 2 Hunde.
Unsere Urlaubswoche haben wir sehr genossen, obwohl wir etwas Pech mit dem Wetter und einige StromausfĂ€lle hatten. Colm ist sehr gastfreundlich, hat uns aus seinem selbst hergestelltem Kastanienmehl leckere Pancakes gemacht und war sofort zur Stelle, als wir Probleme mit dem Strom hatten. Es ist ein sehr schönes Haus mit einem atemberaubendem Blick ĂŒber das Tal. Die Kinder hatten jede Menge SpaĂ im Pool und im Trampolin. Die Pizzeria in La Chiozza ist sehr zu empfehlen.
Die Beleuchtung im Haus, v.a. im Bad und Esszimmer ist fĂŒr verregnete Tage/ Abende etwas zu dunkel- wir hatten es aber auf jeden Fall mit dem schönen Wamslerherd sehr gemĂŒtlich.
Vielen Dank Colm!
Das Haus ist schön groĂ und gemĂŒtlich, es gibt fĂŒr alle einen RĂŒckzugsort und viel Platz fĂŒr die Gemeinschaft. Alles in allem win sehr schönes Haus zum Urlaub machen.
Abbiamo organizzato una rimpatriata del liceo con una decina di amici e abbiamo trovato nella casa di Colm il posto ideale per festeggiare !!!! La casa Ăš veramente accogliente con uno spazio esterno che ti offre una vista impagabile. Colm Ăš stato disponibilissimo e gentilissimo in ogni nostra richiesta.
Schnelle Antworten auf Fragen im Vorfeld. Problemlose Abwicklung bei der An- und Abreise. Sehr ruhige und abgelegene Lage.
Wohnung in sauberem Zustand. Der Pool mit dem phĂ€nomenalen Ausblick ist ein absolutes Highlight đđŒ
FĂŒr gröĂere Gruppen absolut zu empfehlen
We spent one week with 8 persons in Prunecchio and had a wonderful, relaxing vacation there. The house is very rustic but beautiful.
The area around including the huge garden is very quiet and the view of the landscape is amazing. The pool including pergola and fireplace were our absolute highlight.
The place is quite remote, so it is recommended to have a car for shopping groceries etc.
The communication with our host and the neighbours was very friendly and uncomplicated (we even got to eat from all the surrounding cherry trees).
I would definitely come back to Prunecchio and recommend this place to groups who like to have a quiet and relaxing time in the mountains.
Das Haus und das GrundstĂŒck inklusive Pool und Ausblick ins Tal waren grandios. Allerdings wurde der Gesamteindruck durch mangelnde Sauberkeit sehr getrĂŒbt. Eine grĂŒndliche Endreinigung vor unserer Ankunft kann so nicht stattgefunden haben. Es war viel Staub in den Zimmern, die BettwĂ€sche und HandtĂŒcher rochen muffig. Notwendige Reparaturen bei den Betten wurden umgehend umgesetzt. Auch in der KĂŒche war die Einrichtung veraltet, mit ein paar Versuchen hat aber alles funktioniert. Insgesamt sehr schade, da die Hausbeschreibung einen anderen Eindruck bei uns erweckt hat. Colm und Adie waren sehr nett und jederzeit hilfsbereit.
Il casale di Prunecchio gode di una posizione panoramica davvero speciale e di uno spazio all'aperto godibilissimo. Gli interni, con particolare riferimento agli arredi, necessiterebbero invece di una "risistemazione" e le dotazioni andrebbero rifornite e rinnovate.
Piacevolissima e insieme discreta l'accoglienza dei proprietari Adriana e Clem.
This house is amazing. A lot of space, clean and you've everything you need. The pool is super big and got a nice view. Everybody was super friendly and helpful.
We will definitely come back.
Das Haus liegt in wunderschöner Natur in den Bergen. Der letzte Teil der Anfahrt ist aufgrund der engen BergstraĂen etwas anstrengend, lohnt sich aber definitiv.
Das Haus ist groĂ und gerĂ€umig, könnte etwas saubererer und die KĂŒche etwas besser mit Zubehör ausgestattet sein, aber sonst alles super! Vermieter sind sehr freundlich! Was wir noch schade fanden war, das die Tischtennisplatte doch sehr weit vom Haus entfernt war.
Wir haben die Zeit und Ruhe sehr genossen und wĂŒrden jederzeit wieder dort hin.
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. The picture shows Colm and Dasha, a volunteer from Russia, upon completion of art-work in the barn nearby.
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
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).
