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 carefully renovated country home. The property takes its name from the distinctive small tower, the "torrione," that rises above the main building like a silent sentinel, lending the estate its unmistakable character. Set within a 2-hectare expanse of woods and olive grove in the heart of the Umbrian countryside, this exceptional retreat accommodates up to 14 guests across a main two-storey farmhouse and a charming adjacent annex. The estate is enclosed within a private wooden gate and offers generous parking near the entrance, ensuring a seamless and private arrival.
