Paciano is a small hill top town retaining its appearance as a medieval castle. Its main source of income is olive oil, as tourism has not caught on. You are thus guaranteed peace, tranquillity, exquisite views over the Lake Trasimeno valley and an excellent location off the beaten track. Perfect to visit other hill top towns in Umbria and Tuscany.
Paciano is described by outsiders rushing through it as a sleepy fortified hilltop town, probably because it is Umbria's smallest council with less than a thousand inhabitants spread over its 16 square kilometres. But taking your time, you find it has its share of history, art and good food to boast about, together with all services and shops needed to make it self-sufficient. Its visitors decide to stay here because of its views, peace, tranquillity and location. These were the reasons David Mc Taggert, the founder of Greenpeace, gave when permanently moving in. The town's economy is still based on agriculture, or more specifically, on the production of olive oil.The road signs by the town gate clearly indicate that you have to leave your horses and tractors outside, and continue on foot. Well, cars are allowed, but only at 20 km per hour.
