The Farm House
In 1726 farmers working on the estate of the Pischiello family built a house upon the ruins of a medieval tower situated on the hills of Passignano. This building on the heights above the fertile valley overlooking Lake Trasimeno is still known by its ancient name of "Caprareccia". More than 40 generations of inhabitants have lived in this ancient building. Originally it was used as a watchtower and then by cattle breeders and olive growers. .
The valley, once marshland, is now full of fruit orchards and picturesque olive groves, pines, cypresses and evergreen oaks stand on the surrounding hills. "Caprareccia" stands in a beautiful natural setting above Lake Trasimeno. The peaceful atmosphere of this timeless place allows the visitor to relax in idyllic privacy and seclusion.
