I Cappuccini

Beschrijving

The complex I Cappuccini dates back to the XV century and was founded by the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor and it used to be one of the most important religious centres of the Trasimeno area.
It is located on a wooded hill beneath the Monte Pietrarvella, from which it is possible to admire the wonderful view of Trasimeno Lake and the surrounding mountains, with a glimpse between the old medieval villages of Paciano (1,5 km away) and Panicale.
It is placed right in the middle of a wood land of 18-20 ha, of which about a square mile was surrounded by a boundary wall to limit the property of the Order.
The complex was left abandoned during the Napoleonic period and then inhabited by farmers which would use it as a shed.
Restoration of the structure was completed in 2004, bringing out the rebuilt part and leaving unaltered the old stone structure.
This complex is preserved as a whole by the Ministry of the Artistic and Cultural Heritage.
The complex comprises seven sumptuously furnished flats and one independent house.
At guests' disposal:
The units located at first and second floor are reached via an internal lift, and there are big parking lots, barbecues and a beautiful park through which one can walk along, taking the same famous routes of the friars.
Guests have free access to the swimming pool (19x11), with deck chairs, sunbeds and umbrellas.
Distances:
Paciano 1.5 km, Perugia 20 km, Cortona 30 km.
