19th century stone villa with private pool and garden/6 sleeps/pet friendly
Podere Molinaccio is a luxury Eco estate only 2 km away from the quaint medieval hill town of Panicale, built in the Tuscan tradition and completely restored and renovated to modern comfort and standards. The Podere is completely and ingeniously off the grid: heated, lit, and air-conditioned with solar panels. This charming 19th century villa offers its guests a breathtaking view over Lake Trasimeno and the Panicale hills and it is the ideal location for those who wish to enjoy total privacy. The property includes 3 acres of terraced olive groves, while the famous little village itself, with its shops, restaurants and open air market can be reached in just 15 minutes on foot along a lane that passes through woods of oak and chestnut, a stream, and up past a magnificent Renaissance church on the outskirts of village. Podere Molinaccio is a great "home base" to explore both Umbria and eastern Tuscany, and Panicale is very centrally located: 90 minutes south by train is Rome, with Orvieto and other hill towns along the way. Just over 100 minutes north by train is Florence. By car, you can easily drive to Cortona, Perugia, Assisi, Chiusi, Città della Pieve, Deruta, Montefalco and Montepulciano, as well as the impressive nearby Castiglione del Lago fortress and Lake Trasimeno with its unique islands and many sporting, dining and cultural activities. 4 km from the villa is the famous Lamborghini Golf Club, a 9-holes golf course created by Ferruccio Lamborghini on his estate between Panicale and the shores of Lake Trasimeno, with its 32 hectares of vineyards and its renowned Umbrian wines. We provide an exclusive wine tour and tasting at La Fiorita Estate. Enjoy sampling one of the most spectacular wines made in Italy and relax on the Lamborghini Restaurant terrace with outstanding panoramas. Special discounts on wines and tastings for our guests. The property has its own fully private swimming pool with fabulous views, placed in a large park designed by the Italian landscape architect S. Ventura by Agrisophia Progetti Studio, Bologna, where guests can relax on its extra large sun loungers, and cook on the barbecue for dinners alfresco. On the first floor of the villa, accesses through a separate and independent entrance with an original stone staircase, there are 3 double bedrooms with 4 en suite full bathrooms with shower, including a living room with an original open fireplace and equipped kitchen. Each bedroom is furnished with care with beautifully restored antique beds and furnishings. Heating/conditioning, Satellite flat TV, free high speed WIFI and window screens in the whole property.

We recently spent a week in this amazing property for our summer holiday. The house is in a beautiful setting, completely private and with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Chiara is such a brilliant host. She is so helpful with organising anything and everything. She left us a lovely bottle of wine on arrival and brought us fresh pastries on another morning. She does live on site, but we never saw her apart from when we wanted something! Things that we did and would recommend - horse trekking (the stables is also on a vineyard which produce wonderful wine), electric bike trip around lake Trasimeno, beach days on Lake Trasimeno (at Castiglione del Lago), padel tennis and trips to Castiglione and Panicale. Chiara also recommended some lovely local restaurants. All in all, a great holiday and a would thoroughly recommend this house

Best Villa Ever
My husband and I and two other couples enjoyed this beautiful villa for 8 days. It was spacious, very comfortable and clean. The golden nugget for this place is its owner, Chiara. She was amazing. Prior to our arrival we had asked Chiara if she would recommend excursions so we could enjoy the local culture and not just tourist areas. She organized two wine tastings for us, local dinners, a chef to come into the villa and make a five course meal and she made us a beautiful Italian dinner one night. She even arranged for a doctor to see us on a weekend as a few of us were not feeling well.
The train station is not far from the villa but to ensure we knew how to get there and how to maneuver the tickets etc. she joined us to show us the way.
She accompanied us on some of the excursions as our guide which made it much easier for us. We enjoyed her company so much we invited her to join us for dinners.
Chiara truly made our stay in her villa sensational. We highly recommend it for others to enjoy.

Beautiful, quiet Panicale!
We stayed one week in Podere Molinaccio in Panicale. 2 families with total 4 adults and 4 kids 5-10 years old. The apartment is big, clean and beautifully refurbished. What we enjoyed most was the location. The house is located in the middle of a field. It is close to Lake Trasimeno and to picturesque villages like Panicale, Città della Pieve, Castiglione del Lago, etc and also close to a food shop and ice cream bar. The piazza in Panicale is beautiful and the kids loved to bath in the Lake Trasimeno. The pool outside the house is also clean and great! We spent one day on an antique market, the kids went horse riding and we had some relaxing days by the pool.
The owner Chiara treated us like royals and she would do anything for us. The last night she invited us to a farewell dinner with live music and local food. Thanks Chiara!

Hosted by Chiara Berzieri
Ciao, I'm Chiara, I'm a professional host and I'm from Modena, the city of Ferrari and Pavarotti. In 2009 I discovered Umbria by chance, touring the country by car. I found in the green landscapes of Chiana's Valley the authenticity of its welcoming people. In 2010 I bought Podere Molinaccio and started the renovation and modernization work with great satisfaction. I'm enthusiast, curious and happy to host people from all over the world!
