Paciano

Entering through the massive front door you are met by a beautiful living room with dining area and an arch leading to the kitchen. Above the living room is the master bedroom built on a mezzanine floor supported by huge chestnut beams. The spiral staircase in the kitchen leads to a small landing where a door leads to the mezzanine bedroom which has a shower room, and there are double doors from this room leading to the roof terrace. A second door from the landing leads to another suite. A staircase from the dressing room leads to another mezzanine or 'sopalco', the second bedroom. There is a bathroom with bath, shower, toilet and bidet, connected to the dressing room.

Being located in the city, the building is protected from the winter wind and shaded from direct sunlight. The location combined with solid stone walls clad in 'intercapedine' insulation make the 'cantina' warm in winter and cool in summer.

Paciano is a beautiful little village that is a member of 'Borghi piu belli d'Italia' - an association created in 2001 to preserve and maintain villages with 'historical heritage'. The cantina is within walking distance of several restaurants, two bars, a mini market, a butcher and the pharmacy. There is also a post office and an ATM. In the center of Paciano is the Palazzo Baldeschi - a beautifully restored medieval palace - which is now a center for many cultural events throughout the year. These include the Olive Harvest Festival and 'Mille e una Umbria' - a fantastic day when the village hosts a 'Itinerant Lunch', where each course can be picked up from a different location in the center of the village and the streets are lined with tables and benches to eat. There are also plenty of musical and cultural activities throughout the day.

Paciano is also well placed to visit other parts of Italy. It is close to the autostrada which runs north to Florence and south to Orvieto and Rome and the superstrada which runs west to Siena and east to Perugia and Assisi.
It is also 5 minutes drive from Chiusi Scalo where you can catch a train to Orvieto, Rome and the South or to Florence, Bologna and the North
