Casa Torrione 14

Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled just outside the historic walls of Paciano, one of Italy's most beautiful borghi, Casa Torrione is a remarkable vacation rental that seamlessly blends centuries of history with the comforts of a lovingly restored country home. Dating back three centuries, this charming stone farmhouse takes its name from the distinctive small tower, the so-called "torrione," that stands sentinel over the building, lending it an unmistakable character. Set within a 2-hectare estate of woods and olive grove in the heart of the Umbrian countryside, the property comprises a main two-storey building divided into 2 separate units and a small adjacent annex, once used as a barn, together forming an idyllic retreat for large groups. Guests enjoy exclusive use of a panoramic swimming pool set within a large, well-tended garden of approximately 1,000 square metres, where olive trees, cypresses, and oleanders create a serene natural backdrop. A dedicated parking area is conveniently located near the entrance to the house, while wireless internet connection is available throughout the property, ensuring that every comfort is catered for during your stay.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces at Casa Torrione are thoughtfully designed to invite relaxation and alfresco living at every turn. The expansive garden of approximately 1,000 square metres, predominantly laid to lawn and dotted with olive trees, cypresses, oleanders, and potted plants, wraps around the house and pool, creating a lush and private setting. Relaxing areas have been arranged in the back garden, which communicates directly with the ground-floor living area of the main house, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior living. In addition to a shaded dining area complete with umbrella, a large stone gazebo positioned near the pool provides the perfect spot to cool off, admire the sweeping views, or prepare alfresco meals, as it is equipped with a barbecue. The entire property is accessed through a wooden gate located near the main road, which leads after a few metres to the parking area adjacent to the house entrance.

The non-heated swimming pool occupies the most panoramic position in the garden, bordered by a neat row of hedges and shaded by the foliage of the surrounding olive trees. Irregular in shape, the pool is bordered in stone and lined in PVC, measuring 4 x 8 metres with a maximum depth of 1.40 metres. It features chlorine purification and a solar shower, and is positioned on the same level as the house, approximately 15 metres away. A generous area of plush grass surrounds the pool and is furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas for your comfort. The pool is open from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October.
