This boutique hotel in Umbria sits among 1,000 olive trees and hosts communal pasta evenings

This restored palazzo in Umbria unites guests and locals over olive oil, spaghetti and botanical spritzes. With unrivalled views over Lake Trasimeno, it’s giving its Tuscan neighbours something to talk about

Location

At the edge of “Italy’s green heart” of Umbria, Rastrello sits in Panicale, a town with a permanent population of around 500. The hotel offers a great base from which to explore well-known Tuscan and Umbrian towns including Siena and Assisi, with the closest airport, Perugia San Francesco d’Assisi, a 45-minute drive away.
