Tartagi Alti is a very quiet, child-friendly villa with a fine private pool and only a 5-minute walk to shops and restaurants in a classic medieval village, Tartagli Alti is a classic Umbria villa with private pool which has everything you would ask for in a holiday villa
Sitting on the edge of a protected forest the views from Tartagli Alti are, without exaggeration, stunning; layer upon layer of thickly wooded hills roll into the distance. There is a walking trail right outside the gate so the house is perfect for those who enjoy trekking.
The picturesque old village of Paciano is a walk away, just next to the border with Tuscany, with restaurants, bars and one of the prettiest roofscapes in all Umbria.
It is possible to hire bikes in Paciano.
The many charms of Lake Trasimeno, the largest lake in Tuscany, edged with historic little towns, tiny beaches and old fashioned ferry boats for popping over to the lake s islands - is just 13 kms away. It is possible to wind surf, hire boats and do many more activities in Lake Trasimeno.
Tartagli is handy for so may tempting tourist attractions, but... the villa's swimming pool is so blissfully private, surrounded by turkey oaks, pines and inky cypresses, you may find it difficult to tear yourself away to drive off see the sights! Should you tire of moonlit dinners and beautiful views, your Summer’s Leases House Book will guide you to the best restaurants, trattorie and pizzerie for authentic local food.
Tartagli Alti’s sitting room is huge and homely, with comfortable sofas, a good selection of much consulted maps, well-thumbed books and traditional board games, as well as a music system and TV. It opens onto a long, cool dining terrace with magnificent views across the Tresa Valley - perfect for a quiet read or meals all’aperto. There’s also a twin bedded room on the ground floor and a bathroom with shower. Through an arch is the modern well-equipped kitchen, with stylish granite work surfaces and dishwasher. The kitchen door opens to the pretty back terrace with a huge fig tree, dozens of bright geraniums and plenty of tables and chairs - the ideal spot to breakfast after a dip in the pool.
On the upper floor there are the two bright main bedrooms, each with doors onto a panoramic balcony. There’s also a small single bedroom and a brand new bathroom with bath tub/shower.
Tartagli Alti s walking distance of the lively village of Paciano. 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 ...
All in all, Tartagli Alti offers you the very best kind of villa holiday - it s an easy going, jolly kind of house, with a wonderfully Italianate feel, in a very fine location. No wonder it s so popular with Summer s leases guests. Why not see for yourself
A very well equipped home away from home. Peaceful with scenic views for those who just want to relax, but also well located for day trips to Assisi, Siena, and countless hilltop villages. A car is a must, and be aware that there is a long and VERY steep drive up to the house. Extra road maintenance and grading would be very helpful. Local agent Leslie was responsive, informative, warm and welcoming.
This villa was absolutely beautiful. Spacious with a very well equipped kitchen. The views are just stunning and Leslie, the house manager, was just delightful and so incredibly helpful. Sad to be home xx
Beautiful place in a wonderful location. Everything you need and more. A/C would have been welcome in the very hot conditions! The pool was wonderfully refreshing.
Fabulous location with amazing views across the valley. A well equipped house with lovely pool. Paciano has a couple of good restaurants and 2 bars. The place is high up in the hills and visitors should be mindful of the steep climb.
Property was open plan, well furnished and definitely felt like a home rather than a holiday let. Lesley, the manager, was friendly and efficient. If we had any problems they were sorted out immediately. It was a pleasure to deal with her. Pool was enormous and with over 34oC temps we really appreciated it. Looking a little sad though so will need some work. The road up to the property from Paciano was terrible. There had been a lot of water damage which we were concerned would damage the car. Didn't feel safe walking up and down to the village which was a shame. Overall - we absolutely loved our two weeks at this property and soaked up the beautiful views. Paciano is a friendly village with everything that you need to have an enjoyable holiday. We also played golf at Lamborghini Golf Resort and Perugia Golf Club which finished off our 7.5 week holiday beautifully.
Excellent time in such a beautiful setting
The privacy and the quietness is just insane. the sunset view is incredible. the little village of Paciano has great dinner options to offer, however it is a 10-15 min walk . the good thing is that you burn the calories from dinner on the way back as it is all uphill, partially up over 20pct on a gravel road. We enjoyed our week a lot and we overwhelmed by the support and help being offered by Leslie, who perfectly took care for us while there.
We have spent a great week here. The house lacked nothing, everything is available. The terrace offers a great view and the pool is huge and offers great swimming and fun. You can reach the little town very quickly also by foot and find great restaurants and shopping facilities. Unfortunately, our week went by very quickly we have enjoyed it very much.
