About this property

Very private 4 bed villa with pool walk to village & restaurants, amazing views!

A relaxed family villa on the Umbrian-Tuscan border – walking distance from a medieval hill-town, yet wrapped in birdsong and forest silence.

Sleeps: 7 in 4 bedrooms

Pool: Secluded 10 × 5 m pool framed by turkey oaks, pines and cypresses

Location: Walk to Paciano’s cafés, food shops and trattorie.

Setting: Edge-of-forest panorama over the rolling Tresa Valley.

Perfect for: Families, walkers and anyone who wants to be connected to a town on foot whilst being in a secluded location.

Why you’ll love it
A villa you can walk to town from.
Paciano’s cobbled lanes, cafes and evening restaurants Yes, the return is uphill – but the views at the villa are worth every step.

Views you’ll remember
Tartagli Alti sits just outside a protected forest, so nothing interrupts the sweep of wooded hills that folds away into the distance. Sunrise breakfasts on the front terrace and sunset aperitivi on the balcony feel almost cinematic.

Poolside privacy
The pool terrace is completely hidden from the outside world – sun-loungers, dappled shade and enough space for the kids to splash without disturbing your novel.

Walks and rides from the gate
A marked trail starts at the driveway. Hire bikes in Paciano or follow woodland paths on foot straight from the house.

Lake Trasimeno in easy reach
Beaches, ferries to the lake islands, sailing, windsurf hire and lakeside towns are 13 km away – close enough for a spontaneous afternoon dip.

Inside the house
Ground floor – Spacious, homely living room with sofas, board games, music system and TV, opening to a panoramic dining terrace. Modern granite-topped kitchen with dishwasher and direct access to a fig-shaded breakfast patio. Twin bedroom and shower room also on this level.

Upper floor – Two bright double bedrooms (each with French doors to a long balcony), a snug single bedroom and a brand-new family bathroom with tub/shower.

Day trips & discoveries
The A1 Autostrada is only 15 km away, placing you within an hour or so of Montepulciano, Cortona, Orvieto, Perugia and Siena. Closer still are the Etruscan museum at Chiusi, perfectly circular Cetona (lunch Da Nilo is a must), medieval Panicale and fresco-filled Città della Pieve. Wine estates, fashion outlets and food markets dot the surrounding countryside.

Practicalities
Wi-Fi, dishwasher, washing machine

Music system, TV, maps and guidebooks

cot and high-chair on request

Private parking inside gated drive

The essence
Tartagli Alti is the elusive “holy grail” – a real family villa within walking distance of a lively Italian village, yet secluded enough for midnight swims beneath a pin-pricked Umbrian sky.

Top marks with communication from booking host, Molly, Greeting contact Lesley and owners, Kim. Highly responsive and we felt well cared for. This is a family home and is super well equipped, kitchen was great to prepare our evening meals and the area was super to explore. Quiet villages nearby with outstanding restaurants.

Beautiful week with great view and pool

We have spent a great week here. The house lacked nothing, everything is available. The terrace offers a great view and the pool is huge and offers great swimming and fun. You can reach the little town very quickly also by foot and find great restaurants and shopping facilities. Unfortunately, our week went by very quickly we have enjoyed it very much.

wonderful place

The privacy and the quietness is just insane. the sunset view is incredible. the little village of Paciano has great dinner options to offer, however it is a 10-15 min walk . the good thing is that you burn the calories from dinner on the way back as it is all uphill, partially up over 20pct on a gravel road. We enjoyed our week a lot and we overwhelmed by the support and help being offered by Leslie, who perfectly took care for us while there.

Good base for exploring Umbria and Tuscany

A very well equipped home away from home. Peaceful with scenic views for those who just want to relax, but also well located for day trips to Assisi, Siena, and countless hilltop villages. A car is a must, and be aware that there is a long and VERY steep drive up to the house. Extra road maintenance and grading would be very helpful. Local agent Leslie was responsive, informative, warm and welcoming.

Utterly idyllic!

This is a tranquil and very special property and we had the most amazing week. The setting is devine...stunning scenery overlooking the hills of Tuscany and so very peaceful. The pool, set down some steps away from the house, is absolutely beautiful and the biggest we have ever had (and we have enjoyed many properties with pools over the years). The house has everything you need, espcially in the kitchen, which made cooking easy. Paciano is the most beautiful, picturesque village and a real gem. We enjoyed some delicious coffee and pastry breakfasts at Echoes cafe and loved the fact that we could walk there from the house. The sunsets from the house are stunning. Leslie met us at the house on arrival and was on hand the whole week, with great advice and ideas, so we felt very looked after. We could not have asked for more. Absolutely love this place and we very much hope to be able to come back one day.

Amazing View

Property was open plan, well furnished and definitely felt like a home rather than a holiday let. Lesley, the manager, was friendly and efficient. If we had any problems they were sorted out immediately. It was a pleasure to deal with her. Pool was enormous and with over 34oC temps we really appreciated it. Looking a little sad though so will need some work. The road up to the property from Paciano was terrible. There had been a lot of water damage which we were concerned would damage the car. Didn't feel safe walking up and down to the village which was a shame. Overall - we absolutely loved our two weeks at this property and soaked up the beautiful views. Paciano is a friendly village with everything that you need to have an enjoyable holiday. We also played golf at Lamborghini Golf Resort and Perugia Golf Club which finished off our 7.5 week holiday beautifully.

Fabulous views. Property getting a bit tired.

Beautifully located villa close to lovely Paciano (although the description of being able to walk there in 5 mins is a slight exaggeration!).The drive up is tricky but the views and outside seating choices make it worth it. Inside, much of it is quite dated, particularly decor, appliances, towels and bedding. We also reported to the very helpful property manager the loose bannister, external wooden railings beginning to rot and loose breeze blocks at end of steps to pool now clearly dangerous.

Une maison incroyable perdue dans la nature. La vue est magnifique avec tous les soirs le coucher de soleil à l'horizon ! Maison très spacieuse avec des belles chambres et plusieurs terrasses pour profiter de chaque moment de la journée. La piscine est grande et propre et l'équipement est parfait.

Very enjoyable!

Fabulous location with amazing views across the valley. A well equipped house with lovely pool. Paciano has a couple of good restaurants and 2 bars. The place is high up in the hills and visitors should be mindful of the steep climb.

Relax e natura

Le foto sul sito sono fedeli e mostrano alcuni lati della casa, ma il panorama che si vede ogni giorno vivendo in villa è impagabile. Tramonti meravigliosi e giornate in piscina immersi nella natura. Inoltre è un buon punto di partenza per visitare l'Umbria. Siamo stati bene e i gestori sono sempre disponibili per ogni evenienza. Da migliorare solo la gestione dei manutentori della piscina (fissare ora e giorno preciso per la pulizia), inoltre segnalo che non c'è aria condizionata, anche se la notte si è dormito molto bene nonostante le giornate calde di Agosto. È sempre ventilato. Consiglio vivamente questo posto! È veramente fantastico, abbiamo passato una vacanza indimenticabile.

Fijn en mooi gelegen huis met schitterend uitzicht

Zeer mooi gelegen huis met schitterend uitzicht en fantastisch zwembad. Mooie omgeving, leuk dorp, waar je prima kunt eten. Wel een flink steile wandeling. De bedden (alleen enkele bedden) konden wat bete. Op onze klacht over een flinke lekkage in een van de slaapkamers werd helaas niet geregeerd. In de aanloop naar de vakantie was het contact met de beheerder/verhuurder goed. Daarna niemand meer gezien of gesproken bij aankomst en vertrek. Op zich prima. Het huis is zeker een aanrader!
