Residents say Viscri, where Prince Charles owns a home, is struggling with a recent tourism boom.

"Look at the dust coming from the road!" exclaims Irina Lascu. "It's really disturbing us, we can't even open our windows."
Sitting outside their traditional farmhouse, Irina and Martin, both 76, are clearly exasperated by the droves of tourists descending on their village.World’s shortest motorway built to shame a nationIt is a simple, traditional Saxon farmhouse like any other, distinguished by features such as broad wooden gates and clay roof tiles. Part of the house dates back to the 18th Century.
