Villa Castello by Anita Villas

Located within Barchi, a small historic village in the Marche hinterland, Villa Castello is ideal for those seeking rural tranquillity, entertainment, relaxation, and nature.
Discover the well-kept alleys of Barchi, home to churches, historic buildings and panoramic terraces, gathered in a small but harmonious urban setting. You will be welcomed by Porta Nova, which retains its 17th-century character with an elegant touch of modernity. Visit the Museo degli Orci e degli Orciai to discover how local history is also linked to the tradition of ceramics.
About a 30-minute drive towards the coast takes you to the sandy beaches of Fano and Torrette di Fano, where you can enjoy pleasant days with family or friends. Here you will also find the main shopping centres and stores. A few minutes' drive further on, you can also reach the beaches of Senigallia or the pebble beaches of Marotta.
In about 5 minutes by car, you can reach Mondavio, recognised as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Let yourself be enchanted by its imposing fortress and city walls. Visit the Museum of Historical Re-enactment, stroll through its beautiful narrow streets and enjoy the view that Mondavio offers. In August, don't miss the renowned historical re-enactment “Caccia al Cinghiale”, which has been held since 1959.
Just a 20-minute drive away is Corinaldo, a charming medieval village. Pass through the Mura dello Scorticatore via Porta Santa Maria del Merca, one of the three entrance gates. Climb the more than one hundred steps of via Piaggia, where you will find the legendary Pozzo della Polenta built in the 15th century, and admire the view from the top of the steps. Then treat yourself to a stroll along Via del Corso through its narrow alleys.
At the same distance away you find Fossombrone. After visiting the historic centre, head to the Bel Vedere viewpoint, which offers a wonderful view of the city. Then head to Marmitte dei Giganti, where you can relax and go canoeing.
About a 30-minute drive inland in the Marche region, you can reach Acqualagna, known as the City of Truffles, and Furlo, where nature lovers can enjoy trekking, rock climbing, and canoeing on the Candigliano river. There is also an adventure park for children.
About 40 minutes away by car is Urbino, famous for its Renaissance historic centre, which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is well worth a visit.

On the first floor, next to the small garden with trees and a pathway, is the outdoor dining area shaded by a large parasol: the ideal place for al fresco dining with friends and family. There you'll also find the barbecue.
