Villa Castagni | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Pesaro

Picture this: twelve guests spread across five bedrooms, a saltwater pool gleaming under the Adriatic sun, and Pesaro’s beaches just 6km downhill. Villa Castagni sits on a hillside in Le Marche’s Province of Pesaro and Urbino, where rolling countryside meets the Tyrrhenian coast—the kind of location that makes families and friend groups actually want to spend two weeks together without cabin fever kicking in.

Inside Villa Castagni

Villa Castagni sleeps 12 guests across 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, spread over two floors with enough breathing room that someone can always find a quiet corner. The ground floor anchors the social life of the house. A generous living and dining room opens onto the garden, furnished with a double sofa bed, a wood-burning fireplace for cooler evenings, a television, and a dining table that comfortably seats eight. The adjacent kitchen is fully fitted with everything a serious cook (or reluctant group chef) needs: a six-seat dining table, breakfast bar, oven, hob, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, and coffee machine. Two bedrooms occupy the ground floor—one with a double bed, the other with a single bed that converts to a double when needed. A laundry room handles the inevitable washing, and a ground-floor bathroom with shower, sink, bidet, and WC serves this level.

Upstairs, three more bedrooms await. The master bedroom features a double bed and its own en-suite shower room with sink, bidet, and WC. A second double bedroom and a twin bedroom (two single beds) share a larger family bathroom equipped with both a bathtub and shower, plus sink, bidet, and WC. Air conditioning cools the first floor during summer heat. Wi-Fi reaches throughout the property, and a music system plays in shared spaces. Iron and ironing board are available for those concerned with such practicalities; fans provide circulation during warm months. Cots and high chairs arrive on request—this villa welcomes families with babies and toddlers as readily as it does groups of adults.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step outside and the landscape reveals why people choose Le Marche. The villa commands a partially fenced garden with established fruit trees, lawns that slope toward sea-view horizons, and enough open space that children can burn energy without oversight becoming exhausting. The 10-meter by 5-meter saltwater swimming pool, maintaining depths between 1.35 and 1.5 meters, operates from late April through the end of October—precisely the months when swimming feels less like cold shock and more like genuine pleasure. Sun loungers, parasols, and deckchairs cluster poolside for the horizontal hours. A covered dining terrace provides shade for meals and drinks, equipped with table and seating for al fresco entertaining. For sport-minded guests, table tennis occupies one corner. A barbecue anchors outdoor cooking, and an outdoor lounge area extends the living space into warm evening air. Parking accommodates multiple vehicles without the anxiety of street hunting.

Location: Pesaro and the Surrounding Area

Le Marche invites the kind of travel where you settle into one location and let the region reveal itself gradually. Pesaro itself—6km from Villa Castagni’s hillside position—functions as both beach destination and cultural hub. The town holds UNESCO Creative City of Music status, a recognition earned through centuries of musical heritage and the birthplace legacy of composer Gioacchino Rossini. The Rossini Museum documents the maestro’s life with period instruments and personal effects. Beyond music, Pesaro’s Civic Museum showcases Renaissance art and regional archaeological finds. The waterfront beaches at Pesaro itself give way northward to the smaller, more secluded coves that attract swimmers seeking quieter swimming. Beach clubs operate seasonally along the shore, offering loungers, umbrellas, and café service without the formality of resort hotels.

Inland, the countryside surrounding Villa Castagni opens onto hiking trails and nature walks through the foothills. Santa Veneranda, the nearest village, sits close enough for daily supplies and children’s play facilities. Vineyards dot the province—the region produces Sangiovese, Lacrima di Morro d’Alba, and Vermentino whites. Several wine estates offer tastings and cellar tours. Truffle hunting expeditions operate during the season (autumn and early winter), combining forest walks with the culinary thrill of discovering these expensive fungi with trained dogs. Cycling routes weave through the valleys; mountain bikes can be hired in Pesaro for rides toward the higher peaks.

Urbino, 36km inland, commands a full day trip. This UNESCO World Heritage Site showcases Renaissance architecture at its most concentrated—the Ducal Palace dominates the hilltop, its cream-colored façade visible for kilometers across the Metauro valley. Winding medieval streets connect galleries, churches, and smaller palaces. The Palazzo Ducale’s rooms display works by Piero della Francesca and other Renaissance masters. Urbino’s scale feels intimate compared to Florence; crowds remain manageable even in peak summer, though visiting before July or after August delivers a more contemplative experience.

Pesaro’s nearest supermarket (Conad or similar chains) operates within 3km, adequate for stocking the villa’s kitchen. Local markets in Pesaro sell fresh produce, cheese, and prepared foods most mornings. For restaurant dining, Pesaro offers everything from casual pizzerias to more ambitious seafood preparations; the town’s position on the Adriatic means fresh fish appears on virtually every menu. The drive south to Senigallia (20km) adds another beach town option with broader leisure facilities. North toward Cattolica (25km), the Adriatic coast becomes more developed with amusement parks and family attractions if those appeal.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families work exceptionally well at Villa Castagni. Three generations—grandparents, adult children, and grandchildren—can spread comfortably across five bedrooms without the awkwardness of paper-thin walls or shared bathroom queues. The ground-floor double and adaptable single/double bedroom allow parents with young children to sleep near the main living areas, while older kids claim the first-floor twin. The pool, garden space, and table tennis occupy different energy levels simultaneously.

Groups of friends—six to eight people splitting costs—find the scale works beautifully. Multiple cooking capacity means collaboration rather than queue-based frustration. The covered terrace accommodates dinner for twelve, and the pool invites daytime congregating without mandatory participation. The location’s proximity to both beach and countryside suits mixed-interest groups where some want watersports and others prefer hiking or wine tasting.

Couples seeking a house-rental alternative to hotel anonymity appreciate the light-filled living spaces and the ability to establish a slower daily rhythm. The master bedroom’s en-suite gives privacy; the sofa bed in the ground-floor living room accommodates visiting adult children or close friends. Solo travelers or pairs renting the entire property choose it for that exact flexibility.

Families with babies and toddlers find genuine accommodation: cots, high chairs, easy-access bathrooms, and a completely fenced garden where supervision doesn’t require constant physical contact. The pool operates in summer months, offering parents a contained water environment for young children.
