Villa Urbania | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Urbania Marche
Holiday Home Rental Description
A luxury villa rental in Urbania, Le Marche places you at the crossroads of Renaissance art, undiscovered countryside, and the kind of space where ten people can actually relax without stepping on each other. Villa Urbania sleeps 10 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed across two thoughtfully designed floors that blend centuries-old stone construction with contemporary amenities. Just 5km from the medieval town of Urbania and 14km from the UNESCO-listed city of Urbino, this restored farmhouse sits on the rolling slopes where Piero della Francesca once found his inspiration.
Inside Villa Urbania
The ground floor unfolds as a series of interconnected living spaces designed for both gathering and solitude. A double-height living room commands attention first—high ceilings, substantial sofas positioned to catch the light, a working fireplace for cooler evenings, and a Smart TV for those moments when rain interrupts the countryside. The kitchen occupies its own wing, equipped with a full suite of professional-grade appliances: a six-burner cooktop, fan-assisted oven, separate fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, and espresso machine. The dining table seats ten without crowding, making this the natural heart of group stays. Open shelving displays local ceramics and glassware—the kind of detail that signals thought went into every corner.
Three bedrooms anchor the ground floor. The first features a double bed with an en-suite bathroom (shower, sink, bidet, WC). The second combines a double bed with a single bed in the same room, also with its own en-suite (shower, sink, bidet, WC)—ideal for families needing flexibility. The third double bedroom connects to a shared family bathroom with shower, sink, bidet, and WC. Each bedroom receives consistent natural light and opens onto different views of the surrounding gardens.
The mezzanine level adds verticality and separation for larger groups. A twin bedroom with two single beds sits alongside its own shower room (shower, sink, WC), while a sitting area furnished with a sofa bed provides overflow sleeping capacity or a quiet retreat. This upper level maintains lower ceilings than the ground floor but gains intimacy and an unexpected rooftop perspective.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
The grounds surrounding Villa Urbania total approximately 2 hectares of manicured lawns, mature trees, and unobstructed panoramic views across Le Marche’s gentle hills. The private swimming pool measures 16 metres by 5 metres with a depth of 1.45 metres, open from late March through October. Sun loungers and parasols cluster around the pool deck, while a separate Finnish hot tub offers year-round relief. A covered dining terrace provides shade for alfresco meals, anchored by a barbecue for evening entertaining. A first-floor pergola creates additional outdoor shelter, and scattered seating areas—both covered and open—give guests multiple options for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening aperitivos as the sun descends behind distant ridges. A guest WC and dedicated parking complete the outdoor infrastructure.
Location: Urbania and the Surrounding Area
Urbania itself—a town of approximately 6,600 residents—exists largely outside the summer tourism circuit that chokes larger Italian destinations. Local restaurants favour substance over spectacle; booking ahead at places like Trattoria del Borgo remains essential despite their low profile. The town’s cobbled centro storico contains boutique shops, a functional market, and the kind of authentic atmosphere that comes from generations of locals outnumbering visitors.
The Montefeltro Art Views network, positioned 8-12km from Villa Urbania, comprises nine hilltop vantage points arranged to mirror compositions painted by Renaissance masters. Each site includes interpretive panels explaining the artworks and historical context—a form of open-air gallery unique to the region. Leonardo da Vinci and Piero della Francesca both drew inspiration from these exact perspectives.
Urbino, 14km to the south, functions as Le Marche’s cultural nucleus. The Palazzo Ducale dominates the skyline—a 15th-century masterpiece housing the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche, where works by Raphael, Paolo Uccello, and other Renaissance luminaries occupy rooms of breathtaking proportion. The medieval town spirals downward in concentric circles of narrow streets, each turn revealing another church, museum, or viewpoint. The Casa di Raffaello preserves the birthplace of the painter Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio) with original furnishings and workshop materials.
Pesaro, 50km northwest, offers immediate beach access along the Adriatic coast. The waterfront presents a 13km sandy shoreline backed by a working seaside town—not a resort clone. The Museo Civico documents the life and compositions of Gioachino Rossini, the opera composer born here in 1792. E-bike tour operators depart daily for routes through the Metauro valley and surrounding vine country. Ristorante da Alceo and Osteria della Guercia both maintain decade-long reputations for brodetto (Adriatic fish stew).
The broader Le Marche region benefits from seasonal predictability. July and August bring heat above 30°C and European tourism peaks; May, June, September, and early October offer warm temperatures (20-28°C) with far fewer crowds. Winter and early spring remain cool and occasionally rainy, though the swimming pool operates only through October. Explore our luxury villas in Italy, browse our complete collection in Province of Pesaro and Urbino, and consult our Le Marche travel guide for deeper destination planning. The region also contains natural attractions including the Furlo Gorge, a limestone canyon 25km east where the Metauro River has carved a spectacular passage, accessible by hiking trails and bicycle routes.
Who This Villa Suits Best
Extended families spanning three generations find Villa Urbania’s layout particularly functional—bedrooms scattered across two levels allow young children early bedtimes without disturbing adults lingering over dinner. The ground-floor bedroom with double and single beds accommodates parents with one child in the same space. The cot and high chair availability (on request) signal genuine family infrastructure rather than afterthought amenities.
Professional groups or friendship circles of 8-10 people benefit from the large dining table, multiple living zones, and outdoor entertainment spaces. The sofa bed and twin bedroom allow groups to stretch beyond the four primary bedrooms without renting two properties. The Wi-Fi connection throughout supports remote work or video calls for those managing businesses from the countryside.
Couples seeking quiet often find standard four-bedroom villas oversized and impersonal. Villa Urbania’s mezzanine sitting area and upper twin bedroom create a sense of completeness even for two people—the property feels designed rather than simply divided into sleeping compartments.
