Panicale, Umbria
Experience the real Umbrian 'la campagna'
Keep me postedCasa Terrazzella is a typical Umbrian farmhouse in the municipality of Panicale, in the green heart of Italy. You're close to every amenity here: supermarkets, bars and restaurants five minutes by car, the water park ten minutes away. And at the same time you're right in the middle of la campagna, the Umbrian countryside. Here you live the real Italian life, with 'piano piano' as the motto: everything happens in its own time.
What we have here, we really wanted to share: the feeling of la campagna. Surrounded by green rolling hills by day, an endless starry sky in the evening, and nothing else but the sounds of the countryside. The ideal recipe to properly unwind. We deliberately chose to keep it small: no more than 3 apartments, so we can genuinely deliver on that promise of la campagna. Suited to couples and families who want to discover the real Umbria.
Each apartment has its own fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, and a terrace and/or balcony. The apartments look out over the garden, the Umbrian hills or the lake. In the green garden you'll find the pool, a pizza oven, a barbecue area, a self-service bar with soft drinks, water, wine and beer, plus a few tasty snacks and a microwave.
The apartments
Every apartment has its own bathroom with a walk-in shower and a toilet with bidet.
Colombo
54 m²
Named after Cristoforo Colombo, the explorer, and after Via Cristoforo Colombo, the road Casa Terrazzella sits on. We chose this name because Umbria invites you to explore.
Oleandro
35 m²
Named after the oleander, which brings colour to the garden all summer long.
Montali
87 m²
Named after Monte Montali, of which you have a beautiful view from this apartment.

About us
Chances are you end up here for the same reason we once did: to escape the hectic pace and enjoy Italian outdoor living.
In Umbria life moves that bit slower. The food is wonderful, the summers seem to last forever, and people still really take time for one another. That calm, the space and the beautiful little villages and towns brought us from Cruquius (a hamlet near Haarlem) to Panicale. And we haven't regretted it for a moment.
Before long we thought: how lovely would it be to share what we have here? Surrounded by green rolling hills by day, an endless starry sky in the evening, and nothing else but the sounds of the countryside. So we turned part of our farmhouse into 3 fully equipped apartments: Colombo, Oleandro and Montali.
Our house isn't called Casa Terrazzella by accident, there's a story behind it. 'Terrazza' means terrace, and in the Umbrian hills you see that word everywhere: the terraced strips of land where olive trees and vines grow. Add the diminutive '-ella' and it becomes something like 'little terrace'. That name fitted our own garden on the hillside so well that we named the house after it. The hamlet at the end of the road carries the same name, which made it an even nicer fit.
We're renovating the house, inside and out, into three independent apartments that we rent out: Colombo, Oleandro and Montali. Each apartment has its own kitchen and bathroom, has air conditioning, and has a terrace and/or a balcony.
In furnishing it we kept the character of the more than hundred-year-old farmhouse: the authentic details, natural materials and warm colours of Umbria. At the same time the apartments have every comfort, so you can enjoy your holiday to the full.
If you stay with us, you get the real Umbrian experience. We're happy to point you to the best little restaurants, the tastiest ice cream, the nicest days out and the most beautiful spots.
The area
Casa Terrazzella lies in the municipality of Panicale, in Umbria. Umbria is the green heart of Italy, and really the less touristy little sister of better-known Tuscany: the same rolling hills and medieval villages, but a lot quieter. From here you have the ideal base to explore this undiscovered Umbria.
From the terrace or the balcony you look out over the rolling Umbrian hills. A quarter of an hour's drive away lies Lake Trasimeno, the largest lake in central Italy. You really do need a car here, without one you can't get anywhere.
