A note from Jo
This Paciano apartment really is a very special place to stay. You can't help but immediately feel relaxed and at home here. To be able to walk across the fields to the village centre is idyllic. We can highly recommend taking one of the cookery classes on site which are run by the owner and which always receive rave reviews from our guests. You will be shown how to prepare a typical Umbrian meal using the plentiful organic produce, fresh from the garden.
