Sinalunga Villas with Pool
Description
Property Summary
Nestled along a quiet residential avenue just 800 m from the lively village of Castiglion Fibocchi, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Ca Maggiore is an exceptional vacation rental born from the careful renovation and enhancement of an authentic 17th-century Leopoldina villa. The property has preserved its original architectural character, including the distinctive squared dovecote tower and the portico surmounted by a traditional loggia on the first floor. Throughout its beautifully spacious interiors, classical structural elements recovered from the ancient building coexist harmoniously with elegant and functional furnishings, handcrafted accessories, and a splendid, fully equipped modern kitchen. The villa and its annex are set within a fully fenced park of ten thousand square meters, offering guests a serene and private retreat with wonderful views over the surrounding hilly landscapes and vineyards.

In the immediate vicinity of the two residential units and directly in front of the pool area, a paved and shaded surface provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining. The non-heated swimming pool is a true highlight of the property, framed by scenic olive trees and vines and enjoying an open view over the hilly landscape. Reached by climbing five steps and crossing the surrounding lawn, the pool has a rectangular shape measuring 4.5 x 11 m, with a depth that gradually increases from 1.20 m to 1.80 m.

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.
