A location to make the most of

Every road leads to a new discovery.

Tenuta Badia is a farm stay in Paciano, Umbria, near Lake Trasimeno and the Tuscan border. Choose a self-catering apartment for a holiday as a couple or family, or the Isola Minore room, which has no kitchen. From here you can explore Paciano, Panicale, Castiglione del Lago and Città della Pieve, or visit Chiusi, Cortona and Montepulciano. Paciano is about 2 minutes away by car and Montepulciano about 35 minutes; driving times are approximate and depend on traffic. Back at the estate, enjoy two saltwater pools during the opening season. The wellness area is available by reservation; please confirm availability for your stay.
