Wonderful time in Ca' Battista

We spent wonderful two weeks in Ca' Battista. The house is spacious, reasonably well equipped and beautifully designed. In contrast to other reviews, we did not have any troubles with the Wifi - worked very well. The pool is just great with a stunning view. The kids fell immediately in love with Tatu, the world's sweetest truffle dog and greatest shoe kidnapper. There is a lot to see in the area - we went to Cagli, Urbino, Fano and Gradara (all very nice) and also made a trip to Perugia - but there is much more to see. We also spent a lot of time at Ca' Battista enjoying the pool, playing on the lawn or table-tennis or trying out the pizza oven. Swimming in the Burano river is a must - in particular in the hot summer months. Many thanks indeed to Simonetta who is a wonderful host, very helpful and discrete, with lots of good advice whenever needed. We will certainly be back!

Perfect! Just what I was looking for....

My best part of my summer holidays was this stay in Ca' Battista, Cagli. I had booked for me and my children, all of very different ages 22-19-10, and this holiday turned out to be a great experience. The location is absolutely stunning and apart from relaxing by the beautiful swimming pool, we all also managed to tour and enjoy the beauties of the region. An easy day to Urbino, a town not to miss out on, some shopping around the outlets and a day diving in the crystal waters of the river spring. We had it all...for everybody. I am a single mother and my stay was even more made pleasant from the presence of the owner, Simonetta. We had chats and 'aperitivos' and for me a real immersion in the italian lifestyle! My elder daughters were partecipating too. My son had the pool, nature, the countryside and the river spring which he still remembers as something unique. Thank you Simonetta for your warm welcome. You are so lucky to enjoy this place as much as you like. I will certainly be back very soon! Georgina

Ali R., Where do you live?

Overall impressive location and spacious villa

I read many reviews before we chose to stay at the villa Ca Battista, in many ways it lived up to the majority 5 star reviews but in some ways fell short. To list the positives, firstly has to be location! Yes, we admit, the road is a little tricky, but well worth the trip! You could not choose a better view, absolutely stunning! First impressions of the barn conversion were promising and space was certainly not an issue. The surrounding countryside is awash with history and gorgeous architecture, no end of villages and cities to explore. The facilities are adequate for a holiday villa, I'm sure if anything was needed then it would be provided by the owner. Unfortunately my Italian translations only managed to figure out the dishwasher and washing machine... We never found the drier part! So the negatives, maybe I am used to more, but I have stayed in many villas now using Home and Away.com, and this one was just not ready for our arrival. The main bedroom curtains had to be de-bugged by about 10 of the green flying (crunchy) bugs and a few black beetles. There were dead spiders in the bath (which did not work as a jacuzzi at all), many cobwebs at reachable height, if they had been in the beams they would have been understandable. A room cleaned for new visitors would not, as we discovered on day 2, have had a previous guests earrings in the bedside drawer. The fridge did not keep anything cold despite being looked at by the handyman, on day 3 it decided to freeze everything :) On exterior was the most obvious signs of neglect however. The grass was overgrown and in need of cutting, the exterior kitchen area was unusable until cleaned by us. There were half deflated pool toys full of bugs on top of worktop area and table tennis equipment had definitely seen better days. The pool was not clean in any way, we spent a good hour before daring to go in it, cleaning it and removing dead and alive bugs on the surface and on the pool base. Again half dead inflatables and cushions for seats which were full of water from being left outside. No filters were switched on in pool for first three days of our stay. Bins outside were never emptied. Towels not replaced in 9 nights stay. This is not to say that we did not enjoy the villa, just that maintenance wise it needed TLC. I had no problem with the dogs free roaming,Tatu is gorgeous, but the barking could be annoying. Overall not as welcoming as others obviously found but thanks for the stay.

Un lagotto all’improvviso

Casa semplice in stile rustico, migliorabile negli arredi un po’ troppo spartani, situata in una posizione panoramica decisamente impareggiabile. Buona connessione Wi-Fi. A pochi metri vi è la casa padronale che ridimensiona in parte la sensazione di privacy e al contempo, essendo un luogo così isolato, garantisce una pronta assistenza al bisogno. Simpatiche incursioni di un tenero Lagotto in compagnia di un bel gattone nero. Host disponibile e cortese.

Fantastischer Ausblick aber renovierungsbedürftig

Alles steht und fällt wohl mit der Vermieterin Simonetta, aber leider hatte sie einen privaten Zwischenfall und konnte nicht vor Ort sein. Ihre Söhne waren etwas überfordert und auch hinsichtlich der Pflege des Anwesend sehr spartanisch unterwegs. Das Anwesen ist sehr idyllisch gelegenen , bietet einen fantastischen Ausblick, erfordert aber einige Reparaturen. Das Wasser war mehrmals täglich weg, Es gab keine Einweisung für Müllentsorgung etc. es musste täglich ein Heizungseimer geleert werden , was wir erstmals bemerkten als das halbe Haus unter Wasser stand. Im 10er Haus ist das Schlafsofa kein vollwertiger Ersatz für ein Doppelbett. Dennoch, hinsichtlich der privaten Situation der Vermieteren, haben wir trotz alledem unseren Aufenthalt genossen und wünschen ihrer Mutter eine baldige Genesung!

Magnificent Spot

We spent one week at Ca' Battista and found it to be an exceptionally wonderful place. Simonetta and her son Samuel were extremely helpful. For a small charge they made us an elaborate four course meal on arrival, including great local wines. If we had a question or a problem, they were always there to help. The photos simply can't do justice to the view, which is expansive and amazing. The road to the house is a bit rough, but not too bad. The house itself was extremely comfortable and reasonably well equipped. The pool was clean and a nice temperature and took full advantage of the view, and we had many nice meals on the outdoor patio. A couple of small quibbles: Though Simonetta really tried and helped us with the wifi, it is not a great system. Adequate, usable, but not great. And we wish there had been screens on the big door/windows in the main upstairs bedroom. But the beds and baths were fine, the kitchen perfectly good, and the feeling of the place one of complete peace and beauty. It's a short drive into Cagli, a small, unknown city we really loved (try Giocondo restaurant), and a half hour drive into Fano, another nice, ancient city (try Bella Napoli). In all, our stay here more than met our expectations. We had three teenage girls with us and there was plenty of room. You won't be disappointed with this marvelous corner of Italy. Thank you, Simonetta for your hospitality!

Cà Battista, an act of love

You are driving the car along a country road uphill (like shown on a TV clip for SUV's :-) in the middle of nowhere. You are reaching a small forest, where you can recognize some buildings. At this time you feel like an adventurer. I am a hero, I brought my family safely to that place! (later you will find out, that the housekeeper drives the road every day with a Cinquecento ;-). You are stepping to the main building and knock on the door. A pretty woman opens and says ,Benvenuti a Cà Battista, sono Simonetta, avete un buon viaggio?' and you will feel the warm welcome in her words. Simonetta is an excellent hostess with a sense of natural attendance, that can hardly be found anywhere else. She loves Cà Battista, the region around her property and she has a strong relation to the nature. She shares all the good feelings with her guests and take them into a world, which is a bit slower, more relaxed and a cleaning for your soul. You feel home from the first minute. In Cà Battista we stayed in Fienile Suite. Often, when you book a holiday house, you will find nice pictures on the web, and when you arrive, it can look rather disappointing. We were kindly amazed, when the house was much more nice than shown on the web. Big, clean rooms, fully equipped modern kitchen, comfortable beds, walls with different soft and inviting colors, big windows on two sides, one side to the park (which I first named 'forest') the other to a big garden an view to the mountains (Mt.Nerone, 1525m) and almost endless widness, ...breathtaking beautiful. At the edge of the big lawn, the swimming pool, big enough for real swimmimng and place for lots of kids. By the way, we stayed in middle of October and we were still swimming. The pool is placed on a small hillslope. When you look with the right angle, the sky touches the pool border. This gives you the feeling you are swimming in heaven (to be honest on October your are closer to heaven on the canvas chair beside the pool ;-) Finally our recommendation for Cà Battista: Actually, this place should be protected as an insider tip. But since Simonetta would be sad without having guests, we will give her and Cà Battista the best rating we ever gave to a holiday house. We spent perfect two weeks, without any troubles and with lots of good memories in our soul. Simonetta, we will visit you again, thank you for all your support. What you did for us, was an act of love.

wunderbare Atmosphäre, tolles Ambiente!

We were here for the 2nd time and it was absolute fantastic again! The landscape - most beautiful. Simonetta the host ist wunderfull. The rooms are very nice and individual. Wir waren jetzt zum 2. Mal hier und sind wieder absolut begeistert! Es ist so schön hier, allein die Ausblicke von allen Seiten nach allen Seiten. Man setzt sich irgendwo hin oder läuft umher und die Schönheit der Gegend ist einfach wie Balsam für die gestresste Seele. Auch die Unterkunft - sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, man spürt sofort, dass hier ein künstlerischer Geist tätig ist! Jeder Raum ist individuell und ein bisschen anders. Simonetta, die Hausherrin, zeigte uns sogar ihre Geheimnisse der italienischen Kochkunst und war auch sonst immer hilfsbereit und offen. Auch die Gegend ist wunderschön und interessant. Schöne alte Städte wie Cagli und Urbino, die man unbedingt besuchen sollte, mittlere Bergtouren wie auf den Monte Nerone oder Spziergänge durch die Furlo Schlucht sollte man machen. Nach dem Urlaub fragt man sich wann man endlich wieder kommen kann. Thank you very much, Simonetta! Many greetings, Philipp Schepmann

Liebeserklärung an Ca Battista

Mit meiner Familie durfte ich wunderbare Tage im Ca Battista verbringen. Nach einem warmherzigen Empfang durch Simonetta und dem Duft von Focaccia und Pizza, richteten wir uns in dem stilvoll eingerichtetem Appartement "Alba" ein. Fernab von Straßenlärm und dem üblichen Trubel, genossen wir den "Bella Vista" vom swimming-pool, der von Lavendelstauden umgeben, einen unglaublichen Blick auf die benachbarten Hügel gibt. In kurzer Entfernung findet man kleine Städtchen, die den Besuch lohnen, wie z. B. Cagli, Fossombrone, Urbino, Gubbio und auch die Toskana ist leicht zu erreichen. Eine Fahrt ans Meer in die wunderschöne Stadt Fano sollte ein unbedingtes Muss sein und auch Mondavio mit mittelalterlicher Burganlage ist großartig. Im Ca Battista kommt jeder auf seine Kosten. Ein Waldweg lädt zum morgendlichen Joggen ein. Wer nur relaxen will, legt sich in eine von vielen Hängematten und die Kinder haben am Pool und am weitläufigen Gelände genügend Gelegenheit zum Spielen. Mit Simonetta zu kochen ist ein Vergnügen und der angelegte Gemüsegarten gibt für viele italienische Köstlichkeiten genug her. Im unterhalb von Ca Battista gelegenen Dörfchen Pole, findet man alles, was man zum Leben braucht: einen Metzger, frische gemachte Pasta, einen Supermarkt, eine Apotheke, einen Friseur, sogar einen Automechaniker. Bei Problemen jeder Art steht Simonetta mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und würden das Ca Battista immer wieder an Freunde weiterempfehlen. Gerne kommen wir wieder zur wunderbaren Simonetta und ihrem Ca Battista.

Wonderful Stay

We enjoyed a short stay at Ca Battista in mid October and things could not have been better. The setting was beautiful, the accommodation lovely and the owner Simonetta made the stay very special for all of our group. We will be returning as often as we can!

Splendid holiday

We are a family with 4 children between 8 and 13 years old and enjoyed a splendid holiday. We completely agree with the positive comments of the other reviews, however, we give you some details on the resort. This villa, Il Fienile, is a little bit separated from Ca Battista, providing enough privacy. The range of the wifi was restricted to less than 10 meters from the reception, making internet almost impossible in the villa. The Jacuzzi didn’t worked and I didn’t found a stereo system with CD or DVD. However, we didn’t missed none of these things since the pergola, the big swimming pool and the fabulous views maked it up. It’s difficult to protect you against flies and mosquitos, since there are no nets on the windows. However, the property was clean and the swimming pool was well-maintained. It was nice to get new linen and towels after the first week and the owner was very helpful when we asked for a hair drier and a blender. She gave us tips on visiting rivers where the children could make great jumps (from Cagli direction to Foci (one place) and direction to Secchiano (two places), stop where several cars are parked on the side of the road) . The road to the Agriturismo is too difficult for race bikes, however, with the bikes in the car, we started our trips at Pole. The bike trip to Piobbico, Urbania and back to Pole, is great and not too difficult. You certainly have to stop in Urbania for an espresso and excellent pastry in the “Café del Teatro”. Another nice address is Primasecca in Torette near Fano. This restaurant has a free car park and you can enjoy the Italian style of going to the beach. Thanks a lot to Simonetta and her staff for the wonderful stay!

Superb part of Italy - As good as Tuscany!

We stayed in Ca Battista in July 2012 for 2 weeks. Its position high up in the hills provides a most spectacular visual panorama – a vista that stretches almost infinitely to the horizon across a patchwork of light green pastures and straw coloured crops ready for harvest plus clusters of dark green forests on the hill tops. This is classic La Marche - and “agri tourism” at its best. The view from our balcony (and the pool) across the valleys was a treat. We have experienced similar pleasures in Tuscany but this was a total surprise. La Marche is every bit as good as Tuscany – but perhaps not as well marketed! To top it off, the owner Simonetta was at hand to offer advice, teach the kids how to make pizza and provide a steady stream of fresh vegetable produce from her own gardens. The hilltop and valley walks from the property were also fabulous. We would highly recommend this property (and the La Marche region of Italy) for those who enjoy nature at its best in a rural setting. It is especially suitable for active family holidays with interesting places to visit and great food. Also, the Frasassi caves and the “red” tour are not to be missed if you want a real taste of adventure. Claire, Sean & Family, Ireland

Super holiday

We had a wonderful holiday with our 4 children at Simonetta's place. Stunning views from our terrace, swimming-pool and even the bedroom! We stayed in the renovated barn house. Her place is in the middle of nature and there's lots to do nearby. We enjoyed her place so much it was sometimes hard to leave for a trip. Nature - all around, gorge Furlo, mountain climbing - Monte Nerone, culture - Urbino (and lots more) and seaside (half hour drive). And not to forget our wonderful host Simonetta. She taught me and my son how to make real Italian pizza's. The whole family rated this holiday = super!

Tolle Aussichten

Wir verbrachten zusammen mit unseren Freunden zwei herrliche Wochen auf "Ca Battista". Simonetta, die Vermieterin, hat uns mit italienischen Köstlichkeiten verwöhnt und es kam keine Langeweile auf. Wir haben gemeinsam Pizza und Gnoccis gemacht und unsere Jungs waren begeistert. Das Haus "Il Fienile" und insbesondere die große Terrasse haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Der Ausblick ist einfach grandios. Insbesondere Abends haben wir alles bei einem Glas Wein genossen. Nochmals vielen lieben Dank an Simonetta!!!!!

Fantastic villa with superb views

In july we spent 2 weeks in Il Fienile. It's a fantastic place with superb views! Simonetta does everything to make her guests feel at home. If you want you can get fresh vegetables from the vegetable garden and she is always willing to give tips on were to go and what to do. The house is very luxurious and with 2 small children it was very convenient to have a washing machine! The outdoor terrace is also wonderful, with lounge seats, sunbeds and good possibilities to create shadow when it is too hot.... There's also plenty of space for children to play and there are several hammocks on the property. Last but not least everything is well maintained. We Will definately recommend this place to everybody. We would recommend this place to everyone!

Et italiensk paradis i Marche

Vil man se noget andet Italien end Gardasøen, Toscana og Lidoen, så prøv Marche i Midtitalen. Jeg tror ikke at Italien kan blive meget smukkere set fra poolen i "Ca Battista". Med 180 graders mageløs udsigt til de smukkeste landskaber ved Appeninerne, rigtig god mad og vin, utroligt venlige italienere og et hus i absolut topklasse, kan jeg kun på det varmeste anbefale en ferie her. Vi var tre voksne og fem børn og havde en fantastisk uge med udflugter til Gola del Furla, middelalderbyerne Cagli og Cantiano og Adriaterhavet, som kun ligger 40 km herfra. Og værtinden er yderst hjælpsom med gode tips til opholdet. Fem stjerner herfra.

een ongelooflijk paradijs-rust-relax-genieten

We zijn net terug van een zalige vakantie in ca battista(de 3de keer op een rij!!)De rust, de vergezichten,de gezelligheid en de warmte van de vriendelijke gastvrouw simonetta maken deze plaats voor ons een ongekend paradijsje. Voor de kinderen(8 tss 1 en 17j) is het hier zalig om de vertoeven, ze kunnen overal op het domein vrij rondlopen zonder enig probleem. Het huis is super ingericht met alle comfort, zelfs 10 zitplaatsen aan tafel binnen. Het terras is luxueus en nodigt uit tot lekker luieren. Simonetta is een hele hartelijke vrouw die haar gasten zich dadelijk laat thuisvoelen in haar huis. Ze heeft de kinderen (en mijn man!) pizza leren bakken, een hele plezante en ongedwonge avond.In vergelijking met Toscane (de week voordien bezocht) is de Marche nog echter en zijn de mensen veel vriendelijker. Ze zijn echt geinteresseerd in je en zeker als je probeert in het italiaans een gesprek ter voeren. Een heel verschil met Toscane waar ze je duidelijk laten voelen dat de toerist nr zoveel bent. Er zijn hier zeker steden die ook de moeite zijn om te bezoeken : Urbino - de universiteitsstad, Macerata met zijn prachtig openluchtopera, Loreto, Pergola, Offido, Offagna...Ook de kust Senigallia, Fano..Om nog maar te zwijgen van de bergen en de vele vergezichten. Bedankt Simonetta voor een schitterende vakantie, we hebben genoten niet alleen van de zon maar ook van jou aanwezigheid, je gezelligheid en de lekkere pizza's. Hopelijk tot volgend jaar!

Ein kleines Paradies

Das Ca Battista erreicht man mit der netten Beschreibung der Vermieterin über einen holprigen Weg, fernab von Lärm und Trubel. Der Weg dorthin lohnt sich, denn sowohl vom Haus wie auch von seinem Swimmingpool hat man einen fantastischen Ausblick über die umliegenden Hügel. Das liebevoll renovierte Haus, das einen sehr geschmackvollen Mix aus Antiquitäten und moderner Einrichtung aufweist, macht es leicht, sich dort zu Hause zu fühlen. Simonetta, die uns stets mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stand, wenn wir sie brauchten, tat das ihrige dazu. Die Umgebung bietet zahlreiche Ausflugsmöglichkeiten mit alten schönen Städten, aber auch das Meer in Fano erreicht man schnell. Wir können das Ca Battista nur wärmstens empfehlen.

Schöner Urlaub in toller Gegend

Wir haben eine tolle Woche in dem Haus verbracht. Das Anwesen zu finden war nicht ganz einfach, man sollte sich nicht unbedingt auf sein Navi verlassen, sondern wohl lieber doch vorher Simonetta fragen. Der Weg hinauf zum Haus ist auch sehr interessant und wohl eher Geländewagen geeignet, dies vergisst man aber schnell nachdem man das erste Reh am wegrand entdeckt und sich von der Landschaft verzaubern lässt. Erstmal am Haus angekommen hat man einen wunderschönen Blick und atemberaubende Natur um sich herum. Das Haus ist sehr schön und bietet alles was man braucht. Es ist nicht wirklich für 9 Leute geeignet, da zwei Personen auf die Couch im Wohnzimmer ausweichen müssen, aber für eine Gruppe mit 7 Personen ist es Ideal und bietet für jeden eine angemessene Privatsphäre. Die Besitzerin Simonetta ist sehr freundlich und hilfreich, gerne bekommt man interessante Tipps für Unternehmungen in der Gegend, die man auf jeden Fall machen sollte. Die Städte Cagli und Urbino sind sehr sehenswerte Ausflugsziele. Alles in allem ein toller erholsamer Urlaub in einem schönen Haus in wundervoller Natur.

Upea paikka!

Vietimme Ca Battistassa aurinkoisen ja rentouttavan viikon heinäkuun alusssa 2010. Talo oli tilava, viihtyisä ja erittäin hyvin varusteltu. Maisemat olivat häikäisevän upeat, allas- ja piha-alueet siistejä ja mukavia ja öinen tähtitaivas aivan uskomaton. Tilalla on useita loma-asuntoja ja uima-allas (hyvä, n. 1-2,20 m syvä) kaikkien yhteinen. Omaa rauhaa on kuitenkin riittävästi ja oma piha-alue puutarhapöytineen, ulkokeittiöineen, pingispöytineen ja useine aurinkotuoleineeen tarpeeksi tilava. Omistajat olivat avuliaita ja ystävällisiä. Oma auto on välttämätön kaikkeen kulkemiseen. Voin ehdottomasti suositella tätä paikkaa ja ehkäpä menemme sinne itsekin joskus uudelleen.

WHAT A VIEW!!!!

We spent a very relaxing week at "Ca Battista" in August. The villa was beautiful as were the surrounding buildings and gardens. The location of the property was ideal for touring the city of Urbino, Cagli and spending a day at the beach in Fano (all less than a 40 minute drive). Our 15 year old daughter loved the pool and the views from poolside are stunning and are just the way to start and end your day. Although we did not meet Simonetta, she was very helpful in planning the trip and her husband was there to greet us and give us the tour of our lovely house. The local villages provide a nice choice of foods for cooking or if you feel like dining out there are quite a few restaurants to choose from providing delicious meals. If you are after a taste of authentic Italian lifestyle and surroundings this beautifully situated villa would suit your requirements perfectly. A car would be necessary if you plan on going out on day trips. We would definitely recommend this villa and would like to return one day ourselves. Tony, Alyson and Jennifer........Canada

Beautiful place to Holiday

We spent 10 wonderful days at Ca Battista in May and had a superb time. The property is beautifully restored and the location is stunning with panoramic views of the rolling Marche mountains. The owner, Simonetta, took the time to make us all feel very much at home, helping us with everything needed and by the end she felt like an old friend! Our party included children aged from 18 months to 11 years and they all had a great experience, roaming the large gardens and playing in the stunning hilltop swimming pool. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing break in beautiful surroundings and we are very much looking forward to returning.
