Country House Il Biroccio

De rust en ligging. Maar ook de gastvrijheid van de eigenaars.

Wir haben zwei wunderschöne Wochen bei Antonella und Gianni im Agriturismo Il Biroccio verbracht und können diesen besonderen Ort von Herzen empfehlen. Der Agriturismo liegt traumhaft auf einem Hügel in den Montefeltro-Bergen und bietet einen herrlichen Rundumblick über die Landschaft. Wer Ruhe, Erholung und Natur sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Fernab vom Trubel konnten wir jeden Tag die Stille und die wunderschöne Aussicht genießen. Antonella und Gianni sind außergewöhnlich herzliche Gastgeber. Sie kümmern sich mit viel Liebe und Hingabe um ihren Agriturismo und sind jederzeit hilfsbereit. Als wir während unseres Aufenthalts einen Arzt benötigten, haben sie uns sofort unterstützt und uns mit Rat und Tat zur Seite gestanden. Außerdem hatten sie tolle Empfehlungen für Restaurants, Badestellen und kulturelle Ausflugsziele in der Umgebung. Besonders gefreut hat uns, dass auch unsere Labradorhündin so herzlich aufgenommen wurde. Sie hat sich nicht nur bestens mit „Sole“, dem Hund des Agriturismo, verstanden, sondern durfte sich überall frei bewegen und war genauso willkommen wie wir. Ein besonderes Lob verdient auch der Pool. Antonella pflegt ihn mit großer Sorgfalt und viel Fachwissen. Wir haben selten einen Pool erlebt, der so sauber war. Das Wasser war jederzeit kristallklar, angenehm und vollkommen geruchsneutral.

La pace, la quiete, la vista, il contesto… tutto magnifico!!! Luogo magico, immerso nel verde, ideale per staccare la spina. Il tempo scorre a piccoli passi. Grazie 🙏

Nulla da segnalare

The good: a cute property which was well maintained both inside and out (apart from an odd stain on the toilet), clean and nicely decorated. In the middle of nowhere so relatively peaceful and great for stargazing. Tasty homemade cakes for breakfast. An abundance of dogs running around which was great for our dog to play and socialise too. The hosts booked a good restaurant for us when we had difficulty doing so, offered a welcome drink, and gave us ice when we asked for it.

The bad: as the other reviews have said, the long road to the property is in a bad state (steep, dusty, stoney and many pot holes). Of course, it's out of the jurisdiction of the hosts but it's worth thinking about if you're concerned about your car. In addition, if you're not keen on insects buzzing about your head/crawling on you/stinging you day and night, this isn't the place for you. Again, not a fault of the hosts and yes I know it's in nature but it was particularly unpleasant. The breakfast is a large communal table where you have to wait for your turn to be served - not everyone is a morning person and this setting can cause discomfort. The ugly: upon arriving we were met with a barrage of 'rules' to abide by. In addition, there are more rules written in the bedroom and more rules by the swimming pool. We were also made to feel unwelcome in requesting lunch or dinner. We witnessed 'guest dogs' and guests, including ourselves, being told off numerous times (serisoulsy!) by the two owners for trivial things. As the owners decided to do this mainly in front of the other guests at the communal breakfast, we ended up discussing/laughing about it with the other guests who also found it too heavy and uncomfortable - in fact one said it made them want to leave earlier than planned. It really was too much, luckily myself and my partner know how to 'stick up' for ourselves which is a ridiculous thing to have to do. Even if these things hadn't been so trivial, if the two hosts want to impose such rules and standards on their guests, then at least they should start with themselves; our identity documents were left out exposed overnight on top of the reception desk. Of course we didn't say anything needlessly as that's what adults do, but you get the point. British folks: imagine Hyacinth Bucket as a headteacher and you get the drift of this place.
