Prunetto, Piedmont 12077

Prunetto is a small municipality in the High Langhe hill area. A legend says that formerly the hill where the village is located was covered with a multitude of plum trees (prunio) and that the villages name is linked to the presence of this fruit tree. Set in a commanding position with views onto the Apennine and the Cottian Alps, we offer for sale this ancient stone hamlet converted into a hospitality business.
