Il Prugnolo

Il Prugnolo is an elegant 17th-century villa in the heart of Tuscany, beautifully restored to accommodate up to 16 guests in style and comfort. Set on a hilltop in the protected Montalbano area, the estate includes eight spacious bedrooms—six with king-size beds and two with twin beds—across the main house and a private annexe. Interiors blend rustic charm with refined elegance: terracotta floors, wooden beams, wrought iron details, and warm tones evoke timeless Tuscan character.

The villa is designed for relaxation, with multiple lounges, a home theatre, a piano, library nooks, and a grand dining room with a fireplace. Professional kitchen, with a central island, room with wood-fired pizza oven, outdoor pergola dining area. Each bedroom features a private bathroom, an HD smart TV, air conditioning, and views over the gardens, countryside, or pool.

Outside, the beautifully landscaped grounds include an infinity pool surrounded by olive and citrus trees, a shaded solarium, and a bar area. A wellness zone features a gym, Turkish bath, and outdoor hot tub with panoramic views. Set near Florence, Lucca, and Montecatini Terme, Il Prugnolo is the perfect base for an unforgettable Tuscan escape.

Set atop a hill in the heart of the Montalbano protected area, Il Prugnolo offers a serene retreat amid the timeless landscapes of Tuscany. Located at 200 meters above sea level, the villa enjoys sweeping views over the medieval village of Montevettolini, the lush plains stretching toward Montecatini's golf course, the wetlands of Padule di Fucecchio, and the distant ridges of Mount Serra.

This region is rich in culture, history, and natural beauty. Guests can explore nearby walking and cycling trails through vineyards, olive groves, and forests. The Padule di Fucecchio nature reserve is a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers, while the historic spa town of Montecatini Terme offers wellness treatments and Liberty-style architecture. Day trips to Florence, Lucca, and Pisa—each within an hour's drive—reveal Tuscany's artistic and architectural treasures.

Local cuisine is a highlight, with rustic trattorias serving specialities like wild boar ragù, pecorino cheese, and fresh handmade pasta. Markets and festivals in nearby villages showcase traditional crafts, wines, and olive oils. Whether you're seeking cultural immersion, outdoor adventure, or simple relaxation, Il Prugnolo's location places you at the heart of an authentic Tuscan experience.
