Alloro 8
Apartment and pool close to an Umbria village : Paciano, Perugia
Nice little touches
- Having the village such a short walk away makes this house a delight for families with children
Alloro is an apartment for eight in the restored farmhouse of Podere Vocabolo, with a shared pool and beautiful views of Lake Trasimeno in the distance. The Podere is within walking distance of 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. The house and the apartments are simple and unpretentious but have all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday - there is space, a great pool, and the nearby village is lively, and is sometimes made even more lively when its most famous resident, Ed Sheeran, is around!
There are beautiful views from the Podere 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.
The village and the closest restaurant are a 300 metre walk away, 5 or 10 minutes slightly uphill.

From the kitchen you can access a ground floor double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, while from the living room you can climb the stairs to the upper floor.

Around Alloro
Podere Vocabolo and Alloro 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. It is also the italian home of Ed Sheeran who is sometimes seen at local events or in the local restaurants - by all accounts he is friendly and approachable, and certainly a great supporter of the beauty of the local area and of Paciano itself.
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.

If you have any questions or would like help choosing, we visit our properties regularly and can help you select the best villa for your holidays.
We can hold dates for you for 48 hours while you make sure everything lines up, then you simply pay the deposit (30% of total) to secure your booking. The balance will then be due 10 weeks before you travel.

You can add XCover to your booking at any time until you have paid your balance, ask your agent. If you simply need to change your dates please let us know: we can often modify your booking rather than cancelling outright.
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 5 euro. Children are sometimes included, sometimes not and these charges should be collected by the property owners.
