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.

FELDMILLA DESIGN HOTEL, SOUTH TYROL

Our smile for the friendship, the complete wellness for each sense and the design for freedom: the Feldmilla hotel is pleasantly different and naturally authentic. The sober elegance, the ecological values and the sensitivity for the aesthetic animate every ambient flooded by the light by creating new perspectives here, in the core of the mountains in Alto Adige.​

The Feldmilla Hotel, managed by the Leimegger family from the 60s, features 35 modern and spacious rooms and it is located in a very quiet area with a wonderful panoramic view, far away from the traffic and close to the Tures’ Castle. The bridge of the Aurino river connects the Hotel with the centre of Campo Tures, which is just a 5-minute walk away. The hotel has an excellent restaurant – the Toccorosso - and, in addition, the SPA- wellness area which offers pleasant sensations and the feeling of being in good hands.

The Feldmilla’s philosophy is mainly based on the concept of sustainability with the maximum respect for the environment. Since October 2011 Feldmilla is the first climate neutral hotel in Alto Adige.

The hotel has its own power plant where all the electricity required is produced by using renewable sources - with the water which come from of the Aurino river.

Indeed, the grandparents already had, in 1939, their own power plant that was mainly used for activating the mill. The same name “Feldmilla” derives, in fact, from the two words “field” (feld) and “mill” (milla).

All the other emissions which are still inevitable are annually “compensated” thanks to our support in a climate project in Guatemala. With the compensation of the CO2 emissions, the Feldmilla has become a climate neutral hotel. The whole family and the two sisters, Karin and Ruth, who manage the hotel with their parents, are eager for improving everyday their capacity by deeply following the principles of sustainability, principles applied everyday in their professional life as well as in their private life.

Welcome to Felmilla Hotel!

The strong connection with their land, the passion for the nature and the constant research aimed to enhance - in an useful way for oneself and for the others - the one’s own lifestyle, are all elements that have led Massimo, Andrea and Rita Mariani to greater together different and particular experiences in order to realize their ambitious project.  

This project is aimed at valuing the countryside in all its aspects through, for example, the excellent and organic production of legumes, cereals and vegetables, or through the careful selection of olive oils in purity, but also by giving the opportunity of tasting various delicacies in loco.

The adoption of techniques related to the geothermal science or the garden made by following the Pejrone’s model are only few examples of how the Agriturismo “Il Cignale”, interesting example of an ancient recovered farmhouse, succeeds in the challenge of making every innovation functional to the preservation and the enhancement of the landscape.

MONESTEVOLE, UMBRIA

Tribewanted was born as an online community of like-minded people looking to crowd-fund a real world sustainable community.

We explored ways to make the Tribewanted model sustainable, not only socially and environmentally, but also financially, to bring long-term benefits to our communities and to the local workers. We wanted to prove that a more sustainable model is not only possible but desirable.

In order to increase the appeal of our locations, and in order to show that it is possible to live sustainably also in our own backyard, we have launched an ambitious project: transforming the XVth century hamlet of Monestevole, in Umbria, Italy, into a sustainable community. 

The goal is to give our members a more accessible location where they can learn about sustainability and get their hands dirty, while at the same time enjoying the traditional Umbrian cuisine and culture of farmers, horse-lovers, artisans and musicians. 

The ethos of Tribewanted is to protect the local environment and promote the local culture, while we adapt the project to the local traditions.

Will the model work? Only time will tell. We aim high, and perhaps will only settle half way. But in the meantime, we are living how we want to live; when you love what you do, you don't work a day in your life. Join us. Lets build a tribe.
