Palo 4
Apartment and pool within walking distance of Umbria village : Paciano, Perugia
Nice little touches
- Having the village such a short walk away makes this house a delight for families with children
Palo 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 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.
Accommodation
Palo is on the ground floor of the large old farmhouse 'Vocabolo' near the village of Paciano. On one side it looks out towards the village while on the other side it has a large wooden pergola providing shade and a great spot to eat al-fresco.
The apartment has its own independent entrance and, like all these apartments, has been decorated simply and interestingly with a mix of vintage furniture. It has a large double bedroom and a twin which share a bathroom.

Around Palo
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.
