This Renaissance villa was once owned by one of the most important families of the Renaissance: the Bonaventura family. My family bought the house about a century ago and it became my family home. The house survived many difficult moments such as wars but always retained its original structure. This place was also a kind of b & b where my grandmother distinguished guests such as actors Vittorio Gassman and Philippe Leroy. Now we continue the tradition.

I'm italian and my boyfriend is english, together we live here in Urbino. We love working in my b&b because we meet interesting people and get to share our knowledge of the area.

The villa is situated on a hilltop with stunning views of Urbino, the Mausoleo del Duchi and the beautiful Le Marche mountains and landscape. Located just over 1km from the centre of town we are well placed to allow you to relax on our roof terrace or in our grounds whilst not being too far from all that Urbino has to offer. It is easily walkable and there is a bus stop nearby should you not wish to drive. Around us you can go for a walk through the countryside or cycle.
