Property Summary
Nestled in the heart of Umbria, just outside the charming medieval town of Paciano, Italy, Campodalto is a remarkable vacation rental that seamlessly blends centuries of history with refined modern comfort. Once a 16th-century watchtower standing guard just beyond the city walls, this beautifully restored farmhouse occupies a privileged hilltop position within a lush private park, offering sweeping 180-degree views over the vineyards and olive groves of the Val di Chiana. The property sits within 2 hectares of working olive grove, and its 2,000-square-meter park provides guests with a serene and verdant retreat. A covered parking area with 2 dedicated spaces is conveniently located immediately before the entrance gate, on the same level as the house. Wireless internet connectivity is available throughout the property, ensuring you remain connected during your stay. The restoration of Campodalto has been carried out with great care and intention, preserving the original layout of the old farmhouse while introducing every modern amenity. Traditional and recycled materials of exceptional quality, including chestnut parquet flooring, hand-hewn wooden beams, and terracotta tiles, have been used throughout, while in certain rooms the plaster gives way to the original stone walls, bearing quiet witness to the passing of centuries. The interiors are further enriched by nineteenth-century antique walnut briar furniture, contemporary accents, and art deco touches, all harmoniously balanced to create an atmosphere of timeless elegance.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Campodalto are as thoughtfully composed as the interiors, offering a variety of settings in which to relax, dine, and enjoy the extraordinary Umbrian landscape. The 2,000-square-meter park features gently sloping terrain, with the house positioned at its highest point and the remaining grounds unfolding below. Scattered throughout are areas equipped for outdoor dining, sunbathing, and leisurely relaxation, including armchairs ideal for an aperitif and comfortable hammocks suspended in the shade of mature trees. A flourishing garden surrounds the property, showcasing an exceptional variety of plant life, from potted flowers and prized English roses to fragrant irises, apple, pear, and fig trees, olive trees, cypresses, oaks, plane trees, large rosemary and lavender bushes, numerous aromatic herbs, and a vegetable garden available for guests to enjoy. Adjacent to the house on the kitchen side, a pergola shelters a large table and chairs, perfect for al fresco meals. A few meters away, a well-appointed masonry structure houses a brick barbecue, a wood-burning oven, and a small refrigerator, creating an ideal outdoor kitchen and entertaining space.
The kidney bean-shaped swimming pool is set lower than the house and can be reached by walking across the gently sloping lawn or descending a few steps from the outdoor dining area. It measures 10.5 x 6.5 meters at its maximum diameter, with a varying depth of 1 to 2 meters, and is lined in PVC with salt-based purification. Access to the pool is via Roman steps. The surrounding 200-square-meter solarium area is paved in porcelain stoneware and furnished with sunbeds. An outdoor shower with both hot and cold water, equipped with an environmentally responsible drainage system, allows the use of soap without impact on the surrounding nature. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. Adjacent to the pool, a round hot tub, which is non-heated, invites guests to unwind while taking in the picturesque panorama of the Umbrian countryside, particularly spectacular at sunset when the landscape is bathed in warm golden hues.
