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!

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.

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!

Magnifique havre de paix et de soleil
Nous avons passé deux très belles semaines à Eremo del Sole, au cœur de l'Ombrie. L'endroit est bien situé pour accéder facilement à la plupart des sites de la région. Accueil impeccable, les habitations sont très bien aménagées et entretenues. Grande piscine à volonté. Un pur bonheur !

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 :-)

A wonderful week in a nice serene place
We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful appartment. We enjoyed the big swimming pool and the great terras besides the well decorated house. The house is very close to Spoleto and it is such a quiet and serene place to be. The host Anna was very helpful and even guide us to the house. We had a wonderful week and we will certainly come back in the near future.
