Borgo Puccini, Celle dei
Puccini, Lucca, Tuscany

Borgo Puccini is a hamlet of
an historic farmhouse and
three cottages situated in a
beautiful wooded valley in the
hills above Lucca, at the start
of the Garfagnana National
Park.

The houses date from the mid
1700s and have many original
features, including exposed
stone walls and original
ceilings with chestnut beams
and cotto tiles. The property
is set in three and a half
hectares of pine and chestnut
wood, with over 100 abundant
olive trees and other fruit
trees, with beautiful views
over the valley. The small
swimming pool and its sun
terrace seem to hover over
the trees �` ideal for lounging
in the Tuscan sunshine.
The houses are:

Casa Grande (240 square
metres)
The original, three story
farmhouse. Currently laid out
with two double bedrooms,
three large sitting rooms,
large dining room, massive
kitchen, family bathroom and
utility/shower room. Easily
rearranged as four bedrooms.

La Roccia (90 square metres)
The converted barn. Two
double bedrooms, large
shower room, eat-in kitchen
with fireplace, double sitting
room with fireplace. A simple
wall to divide sitting room
would create third bedroom.

La Stalla (60 square metres)
The converted stable. Pretty
sitting room, small kitchen,
double bedroom and shower
room.

Il Forno (60 square metres)
The converted bakehouse.
Pretty sitting room with
original working, full-size
pizza/bread oven, small
kitchen, double bedroom and
shower room.
The Entrance

Borgo Puccini is accessed via
a long concrete drive. At the
end of this is a wall with large
wrought iron gates. Next to
the gates is a shrine dating
from the 1740s, which is also
owned by the property. This
has an original, marble bas-
relief of the Virgin Mary when
she was ‘with child’.

The Swimming Pool
The pool measures 8 metres
by 4 metres and seems to
hang above the trees, giving
wonderful views across the
valley. The whole area was
remodelled in 2004, with the
addition of a brick path with
stone steps, a large brick
patio area and a wooden deck
suspended over the valley.

Services
Borgo Puccini is connected to
mains water, which is
metered, and mains
electricity. There are two gas
tanks, one of 1,500 litres and
the other of 1,000 litres.
These are filled twice a year
by tanker. All of the buildings
have full independent gas
central heating. Casa Grande
is heated by a new euro
10,000 Thermorossi furnace,
which burns wood. It is far
more economical to heat
such a large house in this
way, although the system can
be switched to gas if
necessary.

Each of the houses has a new,
gas combination boiler. There
is an annual service contract
with a local, registered
technician.

Location, Location, Location
Borgo Puccini is close to
Celle dei Puccini, one time
home of the Puccini family,
and the beautiful hill village
of Pescaglia, perched at
the top of a steep hillside.
Bordered by the forested
Appenines to the east and the
Apuan Alps to the west, the
Garfagnana area is one of
alpine meadows, lush hills,
rivers and gorges, making it
ideal for walkers and hikers.

The Medieval and
Renaissance glories of the
walled city of Lucca are only
18 kilometres away, while
Pisa and Florence are close
enough for day trips. The
glamorous beach resorts of
Viareggio, Marina di
Pietrasanta and Forte dei
Marmi are only a short, but
stunning drive across the
Apuan Alps. Nearby, Barga
and Torre del Lago have
wonderful music and opera
festivals throughout the
summer.

Nearby there are three very
warm and welcoming family
owned restaurants, ‘Molin
della Volpe’, a pleasant ten
minute walk away, ‘La Fonte’
in Trebbio, a five minute drive
away, and La Strepitosa,
again a short five minute
drive from the property.

The property has been
successfully run as a holiday
lettings business for the past
ten years and could very
easily continue in this way, or
be used as a private family
estate.
