TUSCANY - PESCAGLIA - CELLE DEI PUCCINI - [V0340] - The original property, built around 1594, occupies the highest point of the tiny medieval village of Celle dei Puccini, nestled in the sweeping hills of Lucca. From an altitude of 400 meters, the panoramic view is a particular highlight, offering glimpses of hidden valleys, hidden villages, and deep forests below. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Roman city of Lucca.
The village of Celle, with its ancient streets, is celebrated as the birthplace of the family of the renowned composer Giacomo Puccini. A museum in his name is located in the charming cobbled town square near a rustic restaurant and café serving excellent home-cooked cuisine. Generations of Celle families have cultivated the local land for centuries, and continue to do so. The rich, dark soil continues to produce an abundance of local wine, olive oil, porcini mushrooms, and wonderful fresh vegetables and fruit. On a clear night, the pristine sky comes alive with stars - a true astronomical experience.
