Villa Delle Fragole
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.

Torre di Paciano stands at 492m above sea level, dominating the amazing natural scenery of this area between Tuscany and Umbria, which stretches from the magnificent, well-kept garden, with its effulgent vegetation, to embrace the plain that extends in front, with Lake Trasimeno in the foreground, and then to end up on a corollary of numerous small villages that surround the property; at night, seen from the poolside or from the highest point of the tower, they form an alluring constellation of lights. Its walls narrate a thousand-year old story: the Torre di Paciano, part of the old Castle of Paciano Vecchio, was originally a watchtower located strategically along the historic route that connected Perugia to Chiusi and, over the years, was subjected to many, documented dominations. Today, linked to an 18th century building which forms the central nucleus of the house, it is an historic, old-style residence suitable as a country retreat, with a collection of antique furniture and impressive chandeliers that dominate the high ceilings and spacious living areas on the ground floor and which fit in perfectly with the architectural style of the building, which is completed by a dear little consecrated chapel, suitable for wedding ceremonies. In the park surrounding the house is a large lawn for children to play on, set up areas for alfresco dining with a large barbecue and various seats in antique stone, shaded by old oaks and surrounded by the scents of the undergrowth. The property stands just outside the tiny borgo of Paciano, in a quiet, discreet location even though it is less than a kilometre from the village. From here, short and easy trips will take you to all the major towns in Umbria (Perugia, Orvieto, Todi, Assisi) and Tuscany (Montepulciano, Cortona, Pienza, Siena): a unique full immersion in a land rich in history, art and culinary traditions, that will satisfy the eyes and palate of curious, enthusiastic travellers.
Interior:
The house is formed by a main body with two floors and the tower, with a further two floors. The main entrance on the ground floor leads into the living area with the rooms connected one to the another, a typical built-in kitchen with 2 marble sinks and dining area with direct access to the outside, an elegant dining room connected to the living room with ornamental fireplace and direct access to the garden. This floor is completed by a bathroom with shower and laundry area. A stone staircase leads up to the first floor with two single bedrooms sharing a bathroom with shower, a double bedroom with queensize bed and ensuite bathroom with tub, and another double bedroom with kingsize bed and ensuite bathroom with shower; the latter communicating with a study/reading room (with access to an outside terrace) and with the stairs leading to the upper floors of the tower, each with a double bedroom with private bathroom. A wooden staircase leads up to the second floor, consisting of a double bedroom with kingsize bed and ensuite bathroom with shower. On the third floor is the last double bedroom, also with ensuite bathroom with shower and connected via a flight of stairs to the top floor of the tower, with two single, joinable beds. This room has two French windows leading outside to a long corridor going round the tower with a panoramic, 360° view.
Portable air conditioning in the bedrooms.
Park:
The property covers an area of about 3 hectares, in part covered by accessible woods while the rest is made up of the park around the house, ensuring privacy and tranquillity. Just past the entrance gate is the well-kept garden with lawn and various trees - pines, holm oaks, cypresses, medlar and figs - a lovely holly bush and lots of vivid blooms, particularly roses and hydrangeas, which transform the garden into a colourful “living area”, equipped for relaxing in at any time of the day, with a shaded dining area where you can sample the typical dishes in the open air. All along the garden, with orchard, vegetable garden and a long pergola shaded by vines for strolling in the shade, outdoor sitting areas have been set up, in the coolest and most secluded places where you can just sit and relax. In the vicinity of the pool area, in a strategic vantage point overlooking the pool and the surrounding area with the neighboring villages, another dining area with barbecue has been set up.Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
Swimming Pool:
The pool area is located in a well-delimited area of the garden, placed on a slightly lower level than the tower and in a beautiful panoramic position.

It is a three-storey stone and brick farmhouse with imposing walls and small windows, typical of late 19th century Umbrian farm structures, designed to conserve heat in winter and to be cool in summer. The recent renovation of the property has respected the original plans and architectural features with round vaults, terracotta floors and exposed chestnut beams. The contemporary taste of the owners has given the house large, warm and welcoming spaces but with a minimal style that makes them perfectly functional for the enjoyment of a holiday with family and friends, and rendered dynamic by the installation of a resin floor in the convivial kitchen, by parquet and bleached ceiling beams in the spacious bedrooms, and by stoneware in the bathrooms. The first floor is the heart of the house with the large modern kitchen with dining area, functional and fully equipped, and the cozy sitting room with fireplace from where a series of large travertine steps lead to the infinity pool next to the wisteria-covered pergola with dining table and barbecue.
