Home description
Casa Torretta is the oldest farmhouse in the Comune of Paciano - it was built more than three centuries ago, and it appeared on advertising photos of this area. Its main characteristics are the “torrione”or “piccionaia” (pigeonhouse), a small, low tower on the roof, and numerous cypresses surrounding the entire farmhouse. A nice swimming pool (recently built) surrounded by olive trees makes yours a pleasant stay. Casa Torretta is about 1 km from Paciano, on the provincial road Paciano-Castiglione del Lago. It was completely restored in 1999, and divided into two inhabited independent units (Torretta Sud and Torretta Nord).
Torrione Sud Ground floor | Persons : 6 | m²: 110 | Kitchen: with dishwasher | Bedroom : 3 (2 with double bed, 1 with 2 single beds) | Living room : with fireplace | Bathrooms: 2 | Washing machine |
Situated on the edge of medieval village of Paciano you will find the wonderful view of Casa Torrione. 2 large, luxuriously furnished apartments have all of the comfort you could desire with their own personal style. The old house was extensively restored and now combines the flair of the old with the modern. There is a garden and private terraces.
On a hill, on the edge of the medieval village of Paciano you will find Casa Torrione; a beautiful property full of history that gave the house's tower its name. The property offers many outdoor facilities, large lawns and private terraces, some of which are shaded if you wish to relax in the shade.
There are many private areas around the garden and there is extensive room on the lawns to play badminton, football or volleyball. The fabulous panoramic view of villages, olive groves, and Lake Trasimeno are truly breathtaking and should not be missed.

The Umbria region
This secret Umbrian idyll is still very much unspoilt and offers excellent transport links to many of the delightful towns and Cities of the region. The location of Lago Trasimeno is excellent as surrounding area offers easy access to some of the most delightful places in Italy; Perugia (40 mins), Assisi (50 mins), Siena (1 hr), Arezzo (45 mins), Cortona (20 mins), Florence (1 Hr), Pisa (1 ¾ hrs) and Rome (2 ½ hrs).
Being large but shallow, Lake Trasimeno (at 128 square kilometres, the fourth largest lake in Italy) is a haven for a wide variety of birds and other wildlife. The lake is surrounded by a flat, alluvial plain, then a ring of gentle hills, where woodland alternatives with fields of sunflowers, maize, vineyards and olive groves. In fact, the economy of the area depends largely on agriculture, together with the local’s love of craftwork, notably the famous lace of Isola Maggiore, ceramics and articles in copper and wrought iron.
Castiglione del Lago / Paciano area
The Trasimeno area is part of Umbria, but culturally and geographically it straddles both Umbria and Southern Tuscany. It contains features of both, being an area where the borders between the two regions is intriguingly blurred, in a language and landscape as well as in the flavours of its cuisine and its traditions. Umbria is located in the exact centre of Italy, at a point which since ancient times has been a meeting point for routes for travellers from central Italy and northern Europe heading for Rome.
The area is not a busy transit area, however but the kind of place that people stumble upon by chance, then visit regularly. There is no need to stumble across it, though, as now you have your chance to discover this magical region.
