About this opportunity
The space
Three private bedrooms, each with a double bed and its own bathroom, plus a separate 50 m2 stone cabin with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and a garden with a terrace. The cabin is still under construction. To work in there are sheds, an old water silo and a shared living room of about 100 m2, along with basic technical gear: speakers, audio interfaces, projectors and a clay oven for ceramics. The kitchen is professional, and you can cook alone or join the family meals for a small contribution.
Surroundings
Prunetto sits at 800m in the Alta Langa, on the border with Liguria, looking across the valleys towards the Alps. The sea is an hour away by car, Genoa an hour and a quarter, Turin an hour and a half. Walking trails lead straight from the farm into the forest. Pick-up from the nearest train station or airport is possible.
Life during a stay
From September the stay is shaped around what you need rather than a fixed programme: one week or three months, alone or in a small group, high season or deep winter. There are no mandatory presentations and no required outcomes. The hosts describe it as space to make without finishing, with room for slow research and the productive dead ends. You set the rhythm, and the conversation is there when you want it.
Good to know
The farm is run by Anne Maike Mertens, farmer and theatre director, and Yannick Noomen, theatre actor, who made theatre in the Netherlands for nearly fifteen years with their company Nineties before moving here. It is a working organic farm: edible flowers and herbs, walnuts from thirty trees pressed into oil, millefiori-acacia honey from eight hives, and a polycultural kitchen garden. Artists from any discipline are welcome, solo or as duos. They prefer a conversation to an application form.
