CASALE IL BARONETTO, ABRUZZO

LINK

Here at "Casale il Baronetto" your holiday is really eco-friendly!  We respect the environment reducing waste and Co2 emissions and supporting actively energies. We eat and cook in a eco-friendly way the products we grow. We believe in electric mobility and we support bartering. We dispose of many well equipped apartments: " Il Sole" e " La luna"  are annexed to the main building and  "Il Covo" and " Il Nido" are instead located in the beautiful medieval village of Penne.
It´s time to walk new roads.

  New buildings are no longer an option and we have to recover  existing structures. We have to produce energy in different ways, reuse water and cultivate sustainable . 


Changing life is really possible, it doesn't take much. We just need to cut down on our consumption, living in  low- cost places where houses are affordable and then make them comfortable and sustainable, wit our own effort.

We produce most of what we need: food, energy, water for our vegetable garden and surely we can and we will do even more, because this is only the beginning.


Since when I stopped to go every morning in the office,  I live with less and I  try to use my time as best as I can. I am feeling different and better, because the time I dispose now is all about my projects, my dreams,   it´s for me and for the people I love the most.

URBINO RESORT, MARCHE


Urbino Resort is the result of a meticulous restoration that has brought to light the farm houses of an ancient village, otherwise destined to be abandoned. It was not just a restoration but rather a work that has given new life and new function to the rural village.



Through a meticulous and philologically respectful restoration by the architect Massimo Bottini and a passionate work of Bruscoli Interior Design coordinated by the family, the former farming village has found its understated elegance, opening the doors to guests in the fall of 2007.
Thanks to a previous restoration, also the XIV century’s Abbey dedicated to Sts Philip and James was re-opened. Particularly striking is the festivity of ‘Our Lady of the Giro’, which has in this small church a key stage. It was in 1993 that Antonio and his son Gianfranco Bruscoli began the restoration of the Abbey, continuing, since about 1996, with the recovery of the other buildings.



The result is a Resort that beautifully combines contemporary taste with the intact charm of the past centuries’ atmosphere, respecting the natural setting and its historical roots but also the most advanced quality standards.





Located in the heart of Montefeltro area, within the Ss Philip and James’ estate and the Badia Wildlife Oasis (SIC area), URBINO RESORT is the perfect place for a holiday between nature, culture and wellness.
Consisting of 6 farm houses, for a total of 32 living units, Urbino Resort is a site dedicated to hospitality of excellence and to the enhancement of one of the most enchanting places in Italy.



The Resort is part of three hundred and sixty hectares of natural environment, organically farmed, and it respects the natural setting by using eco-friendly means. It is equipped with solar panels and photovoltaic system, rainwater gatherers for irrigation and systems for recycling waste material.



Urbino Resort also offers a Wellness Center, got from the ancient barn of the village, an Eco- Shop offering the products of its farm and other small local organic farms, and a wonderful botanical garden.
Within the Sts. James and Philip's estate, surrounded by three small lakes, there is "Urbino Lakes Restaurant and Pizza", where the Michelin-starred chef Stefano Ciotti nicely combines its culture, tradition, authentic flavors and territory.



Coming soon is the new equestrian tourism center "Urbino Horses", surrounded by unspoilt nature.
