Why the Owner Chose Panicale
We went there on vacation in 2003 and thought we had landed in heaven! TheTrasimeno area is part of Umbria but culturally and geographically it straddles both Umbria and Tuscany. It is in the exact centre of Italy and is half-way between Rome and Florence. It is an area which is easily accessible but at the same time secluded. A veritable treasure chest, containing a large part of Italy's Renaissance art, as well as much of the art of ancient and medieval times.
The Unique Benefits at this Farmhouse
Borgo degli Olivi is in the centre of Italy near Lake Trasimeno on the Umbrian/Tuscan border and is at the heart of historical and cultural Italy. The local tourist board claim that 20% of the world's cultural heritage lies within a two hour drive of Lake Trasimeno. Rome, Florence and Siena are within easy reach with Perugia, Assisi and Cortona on your doorstep. There are also many historic walled hill villages in the area waiting to be discovered. The jewel among them, Panicale, is within 5 km of the house. There are many fine restaurants and cafés close by and you will find yourself pleasantly surprised at both the quality and the price! There are weekly markets in most of the local towns where one can purchase fresh farm produce (vegetables & fruit) as well as excellent locally produced wine and olive oil. The locals can be great fun!
Owner's Map of Panicale
We are a couple from Dublin with four grown-up children looking forward to retirement in the green heart of Italy. We designed the house in two apartments to give us and our children and their friends and families privacy when they came to stay with us. Each apartment has its own kitchen and living room area and separate patios / entrances. The property can be used either as two apartments or it also works very well as a single house. The photo is of all the family enjoying a meal in the house!
