About this property

Entire place

Il Barbacane,nice small house with pool, small doesn’t mean small,but beautiful

For a really breath-taking view you must visit the Eremo del Sole (The Sun Hermitage) with its beautiful houses, big orchard, an olive grove of 2,47 a and 124 acres of forest. From our swimming pool you can see all there places while you are relaxing in the sun. The Barbican, a tastefully restored Country house, small but with so much charm, was always ready to welcome the previous owners guests. It is situated in the quiet and picturesque courtyard of the Eremo. It retains many of the original features, whilst benefiting from modern facilities. This fascinating property was completely built in stone and has handmade terracotta tiles and ceilings with old beams. The interior is elegantly designed with particular attention to the colours of the walls using relaxing pastel tones. One of the best point of the house is the old stone built Gazebo on the courtyard of the Eremo. It’s particularly comfortable with a spectacular view and where you can have very romantic candlelight dinners.

Enjoy also for free our new super fast WiFi internet connection!
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a travel crib. Housekeeping is available on request.

Lovely property with great views

Our stay at the Barbacane was lovely. It's pretty close to Spoleto, though a somewhat winding road. The kitchen is well-stocked, and the bed is wonderfully comfortable. We had a very nice time there!

Excellent experience.

During a difficult time of travel, the owner of the property made our stay stress free and easy. The owners were exceptionally responsive and helpful in our planning for our visit next year. They gave us space but made us feel like part of the family business all at once. Exceptionally thankful for them and the experience they created for us. The property and views are truly breathtaking. We highly recommend.

Heaven is a place in Umbria

It really is! We could have stayed at Eremo del Sole forever! The most beautiful house in the most magical setting. Spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. Ginevra was the most lovely host, ensuring that we had everything we needed and offering suggestions of things to do and where to eat in Spoleto. The pool is enormous with a plenty of space around it for sunbathing. And the view is incredible! We loved sitting by the outdoor fireplace for aperitivo during sun set - we already miss it! Thank you Ginevra, it was more than perfect!

Paradise in Umbria

To sum it up: Just perfect - never expected such a hospitality, cordiality and nice apartment with love to details. The House is beautiful, calm, relaxing. Kitchen is well equipped, everything very clean. Moreover the owner and her family took care about us, helped us as we had problems with our car, gave us good tips for excursions, were always there for asking without being present too much. Just the perfect choice - we will surely come back! Grazie Mille!

Lovely setting in well kept gardens. Good sized pool which was good to cool down in after a day out

We had the place to ourselves apart from the cat as neither of the other properties were occupied. It was lovely not to have to share the pool. Anna is a good host and helpful. However it would be good to have some more leaflets and maybe a street map of Spoleto in the apartments.

Eine wundervolle Unterkunft!

Wir hatten einen absolut wundervollen Aufenthalt in dieser Ferienunterkunft! Bereits der Kontakt vor unserer Ankunft war von einer herzlichen Freundlichkeit geprägt. Die Gastgeber sind unglaublich warmherzig und aufmerksam, was unseren Aufenthalt noch besonderer gemacht hat. Die Unterkunft selbst strahlt eine gemütliche und einladende Atmosphäre aus. Sie ist liebevoll eingerichtet und bestens ausgestattet – es fehlt wirklich an nichts! Die Lage ist einfach traumhaft, ruhig und idyllisch, umgeben von Natur, sodass wir die Ruhe und die frische Luft in vollen Zügen am schönen Pool genießen konnten. Es war die perfekte Oase, um dem Alltag zu entfliehen und neue Energie zu tanken. Trotz der ruhigen Lage sind Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Sehenswürdigkeiten gut erreichbar, was die Unterkunft äußerst praktisch macht.Wir können diese charmante Ferienunterkunft wärmstens weiterempfehlen und freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Aufenthalt dort! Es war wirklich eine unvergessliche Auszeit, die wir nicht so schnell vergessen werden.

Skuffende

Vi havde en rigtig dårlig oplevelse på grund af insekter i boligen samt manglende rengøring (dårlig lugt) og manglende varme. Vi havde booket 7 nætter, men forlod boligen efter 1 overnatning. Vi kan ikke anbefale dette sted.

Hele mooie locatie

Wat een geweldig verblijf hebben wij gehad. Toen we aankwamen bleek dat we een appartement zonder airco hadden gereserveerd en mochten we van Ginevre naar een ander appartement met airco. Dit was geweldig op een hele mooie azienda! We hebben heerlijk gezwommen in beide baden en lekker culinair gegeten in het restaurant, kortom super!

Tolles Ferienhaus in einmaliger Lage

Das Ferienhaus liegt in einer tollen, ruhigen Umgebung und man kann vom Pool aus den Sonnenuntergang genießen. Man genötigt auf jeden Fall ein Auto, denn bis in die Stadt ist es zu Fuß ein Stück. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr schön eingerichtet, alles sauber und die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Anne ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit und man merkt, dass sie mit Leidenschaft die Häuser vermietet. Alles in Allem ein tolles Urlaub. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Perfekter Urlaub in einer wunderschönen Unterkunft

Wir haben unseren Urlaub an diesem Platz sehr genossen. Hier stimmte einfach alles: Ein mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtetes Appartement, ein gepflegter Pool, die schöne Aussicht und eine Vermieterin, die man einfach gern haben muss. Danke Anna! Ein weiterer Vorteil des Anwesens ist die Nähe zu Spoleto, eine wirklich sehenswerte Stadt mit historischen Sehenswürdigkeiten und einem sehr sympathischen Stadtbild. Besonders positiv fanden wir, dass wir sowohl in Geschäften als auch in Restaurants nie das Gefühl hatten, als lästige Touristen behandelt zu werden. Wir kommen gerne wieder :-)
