Frasca 4
Apartment and shared pool close to a village : Paciano, Perugia
Nice little touches
- Having the village such a short walk away makes this house a delight for families with children
Frasca is an apartment for four in the restored farmhouse of Podere Vocabolo, with a shared pool and beautiful views of Lake Trasimeno in the distance. The Podere is close to the hilltop village of Paciano, in Umbria, where you'll find shops, cafes and restaurants, making this a great spot for families.
Around the apartments there is plenty of space to relax and run around in two and a half acres of lawn, olive trees and fruit trees. There are beautiful views over Paciano, recently voted one of the most beautiful villages of Italy, and over the countryside around the ancient hill towns of Città della Pieve, Chiusi, Cortona and Montepulciano, as well as over Lake Trasimeno and its islands.
It is a simple apartment, charming and with beautiful views from the windows. The walk into the village is brief and takes around 5 to 10 minutes, slightly uphill, and the village itself is lively, friendly and is the sometimes residence of Ed Sheeran whom you might see strolling around the streets.
Accommodation
Frasca is one of two apartments for 4 that have been created in Podere Vocabolo. It has its own independent entrance and, like all these apartments, has been decorated simply and interestingly with a mix of vintage furniture.
The entrance is straight into a living room with a fireplace, a galley kitchen is tucked under the stairs and has a window with views out over towards Lake Trasimeno. A staircase leads up to the upper floor where you'll find a double bedroom and a twin which both share a bathroom.
To the right of the entrance a terrace has a small table and chairs, a lovely place to sit and relax with an aperitivo looking out at the view.
The pool, which is shared with the three other apartments, is further down the hills, surrounded by greenery.

Around Frasca
Podere Vocabolo, and Palo, are within easy walking distance of the medieval Umbrian village of Paciano (considered among the "most beautiful villages of Italy") and its excellent restaurants, coffee bars and other facilities.
Nearby Lake Trasimeno, with a circumference of over 45km and depth of up to 6m is carefully nurtured and environmentally protected. It provides not only fish, but good swimming, water sports and sailing. Ferries provide transport to the islands and guided tours of the lake.
This whole district caters well for hikers and bikers and you can hire horses and mountain bikes with which to follow the well conceived trails. Of the many artists who have featured in its long history, perhaps the mannerist Perugino is the most famous, and his paintings may be seen in beautiful localities.
Straddling Umbria and Tuscany, a stay in Podere Vocabolo allows easy access to both, and a myriad of fascinating places in between. Or you can simply relax and enjoy the climate, the music, food, and views from this comfortable, hospitable country house.

Worth knowing
Many local administrations now charge a “Tourist Tax” for people staying in rented accommodation and these vary from town to town. The charges are generally per person per night with a maximum number of nights, usually around 5 but sometimes 7, beyond which they will not charge. The charges range between 50 cents to 3 euro. Children are sometimes included, sometimes not and these charges should be collected by the property owners.
