About this property

Uniquely situated, stunning, medieval village home with gorgeous panorama view

This 15th century picturesque villa holds a commanding position within the historic hilltop walled village of Barchi. Situated on a promontory next to a tree-filled park, Casa Vista Panoramica enjoys a peaceful and romantic setting with unobstructed views of the mountains, valleys and Adriatic Sea. Tastefully renovated in traditional Italian country-style, the house offers self-catering accommodation of excellent quality with all modern home comforts. There are three floors comprising an open-plan kitchen/living area, external patio dining, two double-bedrooms, two bathrooms and breathtaking open roof terrace. Barchi is nestled in the undulating Marche countryside which offers a range of varied & interesting activities. A 20-minute drive to the beach or the mountains, visitors can also enjoy trips to the majestic cities of Urbino, Gubbio, San Marino, Fano and Senigallia. Those preferring simple relaxation can enjoy country walks, wine tasting or just the views!


Guest Book - 2008: M Spencer 'June 2008 I, my husband and a friend had a very comfortable stay at Casa Vista Panoramica. The house truly lives up to its name as the view is spectacular. The house is nicely furnished and had all the amenities we required. We were able to sit on the terrace and outside the front door to have our meals when weather permitted. We loved the village of Barchi and were able to visit a number of places in the vicinity including towns and villages on the Adriatic coast and inland. The detailed instructions provided by Sheena and Shawn and the information provided in the house were very helpful. We have no hesitation in recommending this house to anyone wanting a lovely holiday in an unspoilt area of Italy'

Guest Book -2007: Ed Stewart, Washington DC USA - a truly amazing vacation experience for our family of four. The home is a piece of paradise, as is the village. A real Italian 'mama' cooks at the town restaurant - but we often tried our hand at the local favorites - and with all the fresh ingredients available (and grown locally) even a novice could prepare a feast! The local wines were superb. The kids loved walking along the ramparts encircling the town atop 20 meter brick walls. Needless to say, the views were stunning. Peaceful, relaxing and unforgettable!

Shawn McCormick, Moscow Russia - Having visited Italy more than 30 times, I thought that I had seen it all. And then I found this house in this tremendously beautiful region. Casa Vista Panoramica - at the end of such a lovely medieval town with such awe inspiring views - was the perfect holiday home for our family. We loved spending our days relaxing in the house, the small park next door or walking around the countryside. And if you love casually driving from one quaint medieval village to the next on curvy countryroads, then Barchi is perfectly placed for you - there are nine other hamlets visible from the house! They don't call Marche the next Tuscany for nothing! But while short on busloads of tourists (thankfully!), this region is not short on things to do and see. Bottom-line; an idyllic getaway.

Just fabulous

This stay was incredible. Because parking wasn’t allowed in front of house as renovations were taking place, the panoramic view was uninterrupted, like our personal large patio! We ventured out during the day to various towns as well as San Marino. The local bar was fantastic and we called in most evenings. Francesco was fabulous! Sheena was easy to get in touch with and everything we needed was there. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place for those who don’t want to be in the middle of a large place, but with easy access to surroundings.

Schönes Haus im Dorf mit wunderbarer Dachterrasse

Wir waren eine Woche im August in Barchi und haben das Wohnen im Dorf genossen. Das Haus ist sehr ansprechend eingerichtet, alles Nötige ist in der Küche vorhanden. Die Dachterrasse ist das eigentliche Wohnzimmer des Hauses. Lesen, Frühstücken, Abendessen , immer mit wunderbarem Ausblick auf die umliegenden Hügel und Dörfer. Man sollte sich jedoch bewusst sein, dass die angrenzende Piazza auch von den Dorfbewohnern genutzt wird, zeitweilige expressive Unterhaltung ist geboten. In bester italianita, also kein wirkliches Problem für den, der Italien mag. Die ausufernde Discobeschallung am Wochenende bis weit in die Nacht hinein und die bellenden Hofhunde können dagegen etwas nerven.

Zauberhafte Zeit

Es war eine schöne Erfahrung, hier den Urlaub zu verbringen. Wer Ruhe mag und trotzdem dem Meer nahe sein möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Unfassbar schön ist der Ausblick rundum. Besonders die Dachterasse ist ein Ort zum Verweilen. Danke an Sheena und Shawn!

Liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus in toller Lage

Wir verbrachten einen sehr schönen Urlaub im topgepflegten "Casa Vista Panoramica" in Barchi. Unsere verspätete Anreise machte keine Probleme und so zeigte sich Lorena, die Housekeeperin vor Ort, weiterhin sehr um unser Wohl bemüht und war immer per Handy erreichbar. Die Dachterrasse ist ein absoluter Traum - leider zeigen das die Bilder innerhalb der Anzeige nicht unbedingt! Alles war ausreichend vorhanden (Handtücher, Bettwäsche, Besteck, Seife, Spülmittel, 2 Kaffeemaschinen etc.). Der Bestand an Töpfen müsste noch einmal durch die entsprechenden Deckel und einer Pfanne ergänzt werden, ebenso der Bestand an Trinkgläsern. Als recht ärgerlich empfanden wir, dass 2 Wochen vor unserer Anreise die Bestuhlung auf der "Terrasse" (ein öffentlicher traumhaft ruhiger Platz vor dem Haus) beseitigt wurde. Hier reagierte die Hausbesitzerin als auch die Argentur sehr unprofessionell! Den "Terrassen-Essplatz" mit Holztisch, 4 Stühlen und Sonnenschirm gibt es derart, wie er noch immer in der Anzeige beschrieben und als Bild dargeboten wird, nicht mehr! Die Mauern des kleinen sehr ruhigen Parks vor dem Haus jedoch trösteten uns daüber hinweg. Alles in allem ist dieses Haus sehr zu empfehlen! Nachts kühlt es durch die exponierte Lage sehr ab und ein ruhiger Schlaf ist somit sichergestellt! Der kleine sehr gepflegte Ort "Barchi" scheint aus einem kitschigen Bilderbuch zu stammen. Die nahgelegene Nova-Bar ist ebenso empfehlenswert - eine Terrasse mit traumhafter Aussicht versüßt den Cappuccino am Morgen vor dem anstehednen Strandtag im 20 min entfernten Fano!

Casa panoramica

La casa di Sheena e Shawn è favolosa, in una posizione spettacolare che permette dal terrazzo di avere una vista mozzafiato a 180 gradi dal mare ai colli. La casa è funzionale e ha tutto quel che serve: 2 camere, 2 bagni e un ampio spazio (sala e cucina) al pianterreno. E' perfetta per i bambini che possono uscire liberamente e hanno a disposizione un ampio spazio per giocare e anche dei giochi per bambini proprio accanto alla casa. Barchi è un gioiellino, tenuto molto bene, con un bar, un'edicola/tabacchi, una farmacia e un supermercato e permette di raggiungere il mare o paesini di interesse in una mezz'ora. Noi siamo stati quasi due mesi e abbiamo girato parecchio la zona che merita e ha tanti luoghi di interesse anche per i bambini. Sheena è stata gentilissima e,. nonostante la distanza, molto presente e ci ha affidato a persone del posto che ci hanno aiutato e consigliato molto bene! E' stato una splendido soggiorno, grazie!

Extraordinary beautiful house with stunning views all over the region. Very complete. Quiet village.

We spent seven fantastic days in Sheena’s house. Long days of hiking, swimming, visiting Urbino, and long nights of dining, reading and just looking around at the roof terrace.

Tolles Haus in wunderschöner Lage

Ein schönes Haus mit Dachterrasse und spektakulärem Blick auf die wunderbare Landschaft und die Adria am Horizont. Der hübsche kleine Ort Barchi ist perfekt gelegen, um sich die zahlreichen sehenswerten Städte und Städtchen anzuschauen. Das Meer ist nicht zu weit entfernt und das Leben im Inland ist sehr ursprünglich und nicht so touristisch. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Casa Vista Panoramica sehr genossen. Der Kontakt zu Sheena war sehr gut und freundlich. Rundum empfehlenswert!

Für uns war es der zweite Aufenthalt in Barchi und es war dieses Mal genauso wunderbar wie vor 16 Jahren. Authentisch und fernab vom Massentourismus. Sehr empfehlenswert, wenn man Urlaub ohne Rummel machen möchte

Schön war's!

Das Bild ist nicht mehr ganz aktuell. Inzwischen hat das Haus eine wunderschöne Dachterrasse mit einem tollen "Rundumblick", die den Sitzplatz vor dem Haus ersetzt. Die Wohnung war sauber und mit allem Erforderlichen ausgestattet. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und werden gerne an das Haus, die Terrasse und den Urlaub in Barchi zurückdenken.

Traumurlaub in den Marken

Ein großes Lob und ein herzliches Dankeschön an Sheena und Shawn. Wir haben uns in diesem perfekt ausgestatteten und sauberen Haus sehr wohlgefühlt. Es war einfach an alles gedacht und auch die Abwicklung der Formalitäten hat einwandfrei funktioniert. 14 Tage haben wir dort verbracht und jeden Tag genossen. Die Ruhe an diesem Ort und dieser unbeschreibliche Blick von der Dachterrasse - ein Traum. Barchi ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt, um die vielfältige Landschaft der Marken zu erkunden. Wir würden dieses Haus sofort wieder mieten.

*****+ A Wonderful Place

My husband and I just returned from a 2 week stay at Casa Vista Panoramica and we miss it already. The villa is outstanding in location and has easy parking. Rooms are clean and up-to-date, and well equipped. The rooftop terrace is like no other place on earth--simply breathtaking. Best of all were the warm, friendly people in the village of Barchi. The town restaurant was wonderful as was the café in town. The people at the supermarket were also warm and friendly, and we spoke very, very little Italian! We had wonderful, warm weather and did day trips to many exceiting towns as well as to the Adriatic Sea. We can't wait to go back. We give this villa our highest rating possible.

Beautiful Villa in Barchi

Absolutely outstanding. The Villa was at the end of the town where it was overlooking the beautiful valley. There was a park next door and being at the end of the street, it was very quiet and peaceful. The accommodations were superb. Very clean, up to date appliances and excellent beds and bathrooms. Everything was in working order and the owners of the Bar Memphis that help manage the place were very helpful. Being it is a very small town, it is important to know at least some basic italian. The view from the balcony was magnificent and a great place to sit back and relax. We'll be back to stay again.

The Place We Most Want To Go Back To

Looking back on a great month in (mostly) Italy, our family of 4's week in Barchi at this house is the one part we'd do all over again. The house was a perfect size for us, a tasteful blend of old and new, on a stunning site in a quiet charming town where we didn't feel like the only tourists even though we probably were. We made local friends, hung out at the late night bocce tournaments, enjoyed the local food (we mostly ate at the house--the kitchen is well equipped and you can't beat the view), day tripped to Adriatic beaches, Urbino and other hill towns, and Dad enjoyed driving a turbo Alfa on the winding roads. The owners were reachable and helpful when our arrival time slipped at the last minute. Not for jet setters. This place is for settling in to a nice easy rhythm in contrast to the spectacles of Rome, Florence, etc.

Schöne Sommertage

Das Haus hat eine sehr schöne Lage und Barchi ist ein angenehmer Ort. Wir haben oft selbst gekocht und auf der Piazza vor unserem Haus gegessen. Die Menschen in Barchi waren sehr freundlich zu uns. Der kurze Weg in die Bar Stefano für den Espresso nach dem Essen war angenehm.
