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 UmbrianâTuscan 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.
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 itâs 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. Whatâs 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 itâs 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, CittĂ della Pieve, Siena, Arrezzo ...
