Palo is an apartment for four in the restored farmhouse of Podere Vocabolo, with a shared pool and beautiful views of Lake Trasimeno in the distance. The Podere is within walking distance of the hilltop village of Paciano, in Umbria, where you'll find shops, cafes and restaurants, making this a great spot for families.

Around the apartments there is plenty of space to relax and run around in two and a half acres of lawn, olive trees and fruit trees. The house and the apartments are simple and unpretentious but have all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday - there is space, a great pool, and the nearby village is lively, and is sometimes made even more lively when its most famous resident, Ed Sheeran, is around!

Staying in Paulo felt like a real adventure. The drive from the airport was far enough to make you feel you were really going into the depths of Umbria but not so far that you got over-tired or frustrated. Arriving in Paciano itself and then being lead to the farmhouse (in car convoy) by our lovely host we really felt that we were in a rural idyll ... and turns out were were!. The accommodation had fantastic views and the shared pool, reached by a sloping path, was a wonderful place to relax and cool down after a visit to one of the local towns or the lake. We were there at the end of August and it was a joy being able to pick fresh figs for breakfast every morning (the hosts were very relaxed and happy for you to take fresh herbs or pick fruit from the trees). Paciano itself was less than a 10 minute walk from Paulo .. through an orchard and along a country lane - perfect. Paciano is stunning and has everything you need in terms of restaurants and a lovely bar in the main square where locals and tourists alike seemed to gather. And... as for the surrounding area - well its beautiful. You can easily drive to Umbria's capital Perugia or visit some nearby hilltop villages, lake Trasimeno or the gorgeous Castiglione del lago. We took a ferry to Islo Maggiore which was a beautiful island - perfect to walk around and to have lunch at one of the restaurants. Our group of 4 had a really lovely time staying in Paulo, it isn't posh or pretentious, the wifi is poor and the facilities are basic rather than luxurious but for us it was a perfect place to base ourselves and fall in love with the area.
