About this villa rental
Tartagli Alti is a quiet, comfortable and child-friendly 4 bedroom villa with a private pool, set within walking distance of the medieval hilltop village of Paciano. Villas that feel this peaceful and private yet allow you to walk to shops, cafés and restaurants in five minutes are rare, and it is one of the reasons guests return year after year.
The villa sits among rolling wooded hills with far-reaching views across the Umbrian–Tuscan landscape. As you arrive, the sense of space and privacy is immediate, yet the village is just a gentle stroll away.
Paciano is a small, attractive village with everyday essentials, a handful of good restaurants and cafés, and one of the prettiest rooflines in the region. Lake Trasimeno is approximately 13 km away, offering ferry boats to its islands, lakeside towns, swimming spots and water activities. The location is ideal for exploring both Umbria and southern Tuscany. Panicale, Città della Pieve, Chiusi, Cortona and Montepulciano are all within easy reach, and the Autostrada del Sole (15 km away) provides fast connections to Siena, Arezzo, Perugia and Florence.
Inside, Tartagli Alti has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The large sitting room offers comfortable sofas, books, maps, board games, a TV and music system, and opens directly onto a long dining terrace with wide views over the Tresa Valley. It is perfect for slow breakfasts, reading in the shade or dining outdoors after a day exploring.
The modern kitchen has granite work surfaces and a dishwasher, and leads to a second terrace shaded by a mature fig tree, an ideal spot for morning coffee or lunch after a swim. On the ground floor there is also a twin bedroom and a bathroom with shower.
Upstairs you will find two recently redecorated double bedrooms, each opening onto a balcony with panoramic views, a small single bedroom and a new bathroom with bathtub and shower. All of the bedrooms have air-conditioning.
The private swimming pool (40 ft x 20 ft) is set slightly apart from the house, surrounded by oaks, pines and cypresses, offering a peaceful place to unwind. Many guests spend long, relaxed days by the pool before walking down to the village for dinner.

LOCATION
Tartagli Alti is walking distance of the lively village of Paciano - though it’s uphill all the way home. You've finally found the "holy grail" of villa rentals: a real family villa within a walk of a village. What’s more, the area abounds with history - the locals maintain that the fabulous lost tomb of the Etruscan king Porsena is somewhere nearby, though of course the exact spot has never been located.
Tartagli Alti is only 15 km from the Autostrada del Sole, which means that it’s also brilliantly located for every variety of sightseeing trip: wineries, museums, fashion outlets, great art and great food. But if you want to just tootle around the local area, there's the excellent Etruscan Museum at Chiusi, the lovely circular village of Cetona (with lunch Da Nilo), Panicale, Città della Pieve, Siena, Arrezzo ...

The whole experience was delightful. From stepping into the lovely villa to the wonderful views all around. The villa itself was very well maintained and clean with everything in place to ensure a great holiday. Peace and quiet in abundance especially round the pool where we spent many happy hours. Even though the villa is remote it is possible to stroll down to Paciano for a meal at one of the excellent restaurants or just to admire the scenery. All in all, one of our best holidays yet.

Tartagli Alti is an extensive and well equipped property with the most beautiful views, nestling in the forest on the edge of Paciano.Access is via an unmade road with some challenging gradients to a car with 5 adults and luggage. The house is extensive ,excellently equipped, quite mature, yet well maintained. Patio areas are large with brilliant views. The pool is large with lots of loungers and parasols. It’s accessed by a step path which one needs to take care on.The walk to town is around 10 minutes. The uphill return takes a few minutes longer. If not always driving , a basic level of fitness and mobility would be recommended. The views and situation are just beautiful.Comms was excellent, initially with Molly from Friends of Tuscany and subsequently with local contact Leslie who is friendly , knowledgeable , helpful and very much a Paciano local. The few queries we raised on holiday were responded to really quickly.Local large towns we enjoyed most were Perugia, Orvieto and Assisi. More locally, Castiglione Del Lago is very touristy and has many good restaurants. Paciano itself is a beautiful small town withtwo cafes, a small supermarket and at least 3 restaurants.

We had a wonderful two weeks staying here. The property is beautiful with spacious grounds, a large swimming pool, and gorgeous views. It is very private, tucked away from the world. The town is a 10 minute walk away and is quiet and delightful with a few good restaurants and bars. No real negatives other than two of the bedrooms being a little small, and the damn mosquitos.All in all: thoroughly recommended, just lovely.
