'ANTICO TABACCAIO' is a large, splendid 18th century Country House (500 sq.m.): 7 large bedrooms + 5 full bathrooms, spacious 'Great Room' with kitchen/dining/sitting room and a private 10000 sq.m. (1 hectare or about 2 acres) of fenced garden, swimming pool of 12m x 6m and loads of outdoor space to dine al fresco, sun and enjoy the outdoors.
A rental includes many 'extras' you won't find elsewhere, including complimentary house wine, olive oil, discount on local wines and friendly concierge service.
It can accommodate up to 14; perfect for family groups, celebrations and friends sharing a vacation together. We offer privacy, comfort, space and warm hospitality.
The Villa is available for rent from 2 persons to 14 persons at very very good prices....see below!!!
Located in a valley of sunflowers and vineyards with views of the hilltop towns of Panicale and Paciano, undulating hills and countryside, Villa 'ANTICO TABACCAIO' combines proximity to the excellent restaurants, shops, wineries and services of 2 villages with the privacy of a country setting. It oozes history with the original “TABAC,” a 16thC tower used to dry the tobacco harvest until the '70s. Built in the 18thC in the classic style of animals (stalls) below and people (living quarters) above, the living space of 'ANTICO TABACCAIO' recovered its antique splendor thanks to the vision of the owners, who found the perfect balance between the old and new. It is unique and maybe even magical, where you can enjoy an unforgettable and certainly splendid and relaxing holiday.
Villa 'ANTICO TABACCAIO' is 500 sq.m. (approx 5000 sq ft), of classic stone and bricks divided in 2 levels. Ground floor: main entry hall opening on to a Great Room consisting of living room with stunning original quatre-foil vaulted ceilings and an enormous stone fireplace; large kitchen with breakfast area and French doors opening to the garden and outdoor eating area; and baronial dining room which seats 12 and more with ease. Leading off the Great Room is a bedroom with ensuite bathroom (shower and double sinks) and French doors opening to the garden. Off the main entry is a laundry room. The Great Room has many windows and French doors that enable you to admire the panorama and enjoy the sunshine flooding in. Original details, such as the rings used to tie up the animals while feeding and the niches built into the wall for candles, have been retained. This is a fabulous setting for a celebratory meal for an anniversary, birthday or wedding.
Access to the top floor is via the original stone staircase, lined with beautiful prints and lit by ankle-level modern lighting that picks out the details of the wonderful time-worn steps. This floor contains a large and comfortable living room with the original enormous wood burning fireplace and terracotta flooring. Leading off the living room are 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms (with showers). Four bedrooms pair off with two bathrooms, sharing a bathroom each; one bedroom has its own bathroom and one – the master suite – has an ensuite bathroom with large soaking tub and a window looking out over the countryside. One bedroom has French doors opening to a terrace fashioned from the original external staircase and landing.
Relax outdoors on one of several patios and seating areas, each furnished with tables, chairs and umbrellas, from which you can enjoy views of Panicale, vineyards and sunflowers while dining al fresco: off the Great Room is a southerly-facing outdoor patio and off the kitchen is a large gravel patio. Attached to the TABAC is a covered loggia that makes a cool, shady place for lunch or covered spot for dinner.
We think our house is perfect for gathering family and friends to create happy memories. Come to us with a wedding anniversary, notable birthday or wedding party week and we can quote a competitive price and recommend cooks and other services.
Preference given to large groups, but we would be happy to quote you a pro-rated price for smaller groups
Discount applied for multiple weeks and low season rentals

We stay for a week in this fantastic villa, very quiet and confortable. We enjoy visiting Panicale and all the places nearby (this is a strategic position for visiting Florence, Rome, Perugia, Assisi...) and having fun and relax in the pool. There is a lot of privacy and we love it. Katiuscia, the girl who manage the house, is so kind and gentle and always attentive to all the needs. We hope we can come back next year!Recommended for: Age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

a big thankyou to Katia who helped ensure that the hliday went perfectly. I had arranged a holiday for extended family and friends and was delighted by the villa and Katia's expert help. The villa was beautiful - spacious ,clean and quiet. The surrounding area was fabulous for walking and running and then the fabulous pool to return to . Nonna 's cooking evening organised by Katia was great. Only 2 hours from Florence and Sienna and less to Perugia and markets ,it was perfectly located. Will be back.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

A great Villa with all facilities, also for a large family or group! We decided already back in January to rent a villa for August through Katia since she responded prompt to all our queries. She acted in a way that gave us full confidence from the very outset. Once we arrived and met Katia we where definitely not disappointed. She has proved to be extremely friendly, service oriented and very flexible in her approach. Everything is possible to solve for her. Moreover she has a fantastic network with other nice and reliable people in the area. I can nothing but commend and highly recommend Katia for a great job!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We celebrated our silver wedding at L'antico tabacciao with our kids and grandchildren. The house is so beautyful, well renowated and with lots of space. Nobody will disturb you - and you will disturb nobody - as the house is situated at the end of a kilometer long dusty side road to a minor road. The pool is clean and inviting. A's a surprice to our kids who is very interessed in Italian cooking we had hired Rosanne "la regina della cucina" to come and cook for us one night. She is not that big but her skills are sky high. We also had Veronica and her brother-in-law to come and learn us some tips and tricks about pizza making. Great success. You will meet Katia the manager in nearby town Panicale. She will show the way to L'antico tabacciao. You can't find yourself. It is at an no-name road. No help from the gps! You have beautyful Lake Trasemeno, Castliglione Lago, Montepulciano and over Umbrian sights not far away and Tuscany is just a short distance away. Katia and her husband Massimo are the most friendly and helpfull people we have ever met. They provide you with information on all types of events, markets etc. As my wife got ill during our stay Katia and Massimo were extremely helpfull and assisted us with the hospitals and farmacies and they booked a hotel for us when we had to leave L'antico Tabacciao when new guests arrived. We are ever so thankful.Recommended for: Age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

Antico Tabaccaio - a DREAM Villa
Antico Tabaccaio - a DREAM Villa

We (8 people) stayed at Antico Tabaccaio for only 6 days - which was actually a shame, because it is such a wonderful house – we would have loved to stay for 2 weeks. The photos on VRBO are absolutely correct, but the house is even better in real-life. The villa is massive, clean as a whistle and is perfectly equipped with everything you can imagine, down to towels, shower gel, hair-dryers, coffee and spices in the kitchen, the works. The pool is wonderful - big and clean. Although it is only 5 minutes by car from Panicale, it is very secluded, surrounded by farmland, sunflowers and cornfields. With 8 people we had bedrooms to spare - there is enough space so that you don't get in each other's hair, and the tables are big enough to sit 12 people easily and comfortably. Katia is great – communication perfect, she organised everything, met us in the town to show us how to get to the villa, booked a restaurant for the first night, and was available for us at any time. If you get the chance to have NONNA ROSANNE to cook for you, I can thoroughly recommend her. She not only cooks up a dream, she is lovely. Go there – you won’t regret it! Worthwhile excursions: Panicale of course, Perugia, Assisi, Firenze, Montepulciano, Pienza, San Quirico,Castiglione de Lago (great market every Wednesday)Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

splendid villa, suitable for people who wants to spend a relaxing holiday, without sacrificing comfort, space and beauty. The house is ideal for a private vacation away from the crowd but at the same time, very easy to get to Perugia, Florence, Cortona and Assisi. The house is fully equipped, clean and well-maintained, with every comfort, bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen, living rooms are furnished with taste and attention to every detail. The booking service was very efficient and arrived at the place we found Mrs. Katia who was very nice, kind and always ready to assist when needed. we fully reccomend the villa.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2012
About the owner: I'm Katia and I'm the hostess of VILLA ANTICO TABACCAIO a wonderful Villa located at only 8 km from the historic centre of my delightful medieval village Panicale, on the Lake Trasimeno. The owners asked me to be their host and help them with the hospitality. It is for me a wonderful pleasure to welcome guests from every part of the world, introduce them to my area and let them know our traditions and culture. Guests are always happy to visit Panicale and to discover the little villages all around, but also they appreciate the services of the Villa and its beatiful location. People here are friendly and nice. All guests seem to be home!
Why the Owner Chose Panicale:
Panicale is a typical and very beautiful medieval Umbrian hilltop town. The Villa is built into one of the fortified walls that surround the town in the shape of a beehive. Time has absolutely stood still in this village. One can still see signs of a former lifestyle -- cannon turrets, alcoves near the two historic center entrances where night watchmen once stood, ancient cobblestone streets and antique, operable water fountains. Panicale boasts four wonderful restaurants, two cafes (cafe/bar), and a small grocery store selling everything from fresh produce, cold cuts, cheeses and wine to toiletries and common household supplies. There is the butcher will gladly make you make sausages while you wait, and down the street is a bakery, where fresh bread, pastry and a variety of pizza await you at 6 am. The town barber will give you a hair cut and a shave, or if you want to catch up with the latest gossip, drop by the hairdresser. The famous 'little' theater, Teatro Carporali, hosts well publicized cultural events, but the most fun is had in the main piazza on weekend nights when free, live entertainment performs as you sip local wine or a capuccino. Panicale also has a tourist information office, a real estate agency, a pottery shop, a drug store, a stationary/internet point selling foreign newspapers and magazines, a post office and a bank/ATM. Minutes away by car is a full service spa where you can have a manicure, beauty treatment or massage. Panicale is home to 500 full-time residents. During the summer months this number grows to about 800. The town is within short driving distance to Perugia, Orvieto, Montepulciano, Assisi, Cortona, Todi, Deruta, Siena and other well known towns worth visiting. All have so much to offer in terms of cuisine, art and culture and all guests LOVE to return as often as they can.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
VILLA ANTICO TABACCAIO is located near Panicale and Castiglione del lago on the Lake Trasimeno with restaurants, shops, a grocery store, butcher shop, bakery, bank with ATM and many other amenities. You can really enjoy your holiday here -- walking is pleasurable as Panicale is closed to vehicular traffic! Parking is always available outside the two main entrances to the town so once inside the historic center you can take a step back in time, enjoy the amazing sunrises and sunsets and RELAX! And everyone is so very friendly. Moreover, a number of Panicalesi speak english so language is never a barrier here! Panicale is very centrally situated. 90 minutes to the south by train is Rome and the many towns in between. One hour to the north is Florence. By car you can easily reach Cortona, Perugia, Montepulciano as well as the impressive nearby Casteglione del Lago fortress and Lake Trasimeno with its unique islands and many sporting, dining and cultural activities. One visit to Panicale and you will want to return, as we do, year after year.
Panicale is situated on the Umbria/Tuscany border, boasting the unsurpassed natural beauty of local vineyards, endless sunflower fields and olives groves and acres of fig trees. While walking and hiking is an excellent way to explore this memorable area, Panicale is close by car or local train to Perugia, Montepulciano, Brunello di Montalcino and the Chianti area, Cortona, Passignano, Castiglion del Lago, Chiusi, Castiglion Fiorentino, Arezzo, Pienza, Orvieto, Assisi, Gubbio, Siena, Pisa, Lucca and of course Rome and Florence. Plenty of sporting opportunities await; tennis is minutes away in one of several tennis facilities, boating and water sports abound on Lake Trasimeno (not to mention the festive Riviera atmosphere in the cafes and restaurants along the shore), a family water park is minutes away, bike rentals are available nearby to cycle the miles and miles of scenic waterfront or picturesque countryside.
