Barco is a 5-star luxury home for rent in Italy located within walking distance from the Reschio estate restaurant, stables and tennis court. Reschio is a private exclusive estate and nature reserve of 2.700 acres situated between Umbria and Tuscany. In the estate there are 
some other high end vacation villa rentals, making it the ideal place for large groups of family or friends by renting 2 or 3 of these luxurious villas near one another.
Scattered widely apart amongst the olive groves, vineyards and extensive Mediterranean oak and chestnut woods are 50 farmhouses, of which half have been restored to date creating luxury private villas. The estate offers a unique combination of top class service and a high level of privacy and security.
Among the facilities offered, guests can experience horse riding and training, tennis, and mountain biking. Classic Italian food can be enjoyed at the private restaurant, or a choice from the menu and wine list can be delivered to the villa directly.
Barco's main villa and guest house can accommodate up to 12 guests. A formal courtyard forms the heart of Barco around which the living accommodation is situated. There is an easy flow from inside to outside, with a dining room opening at either end to access the 18 x 4.5-meter swimming pool, which nestles within the gardens a few steps down from the terraces, and next to which is a custom-built spa bath. A gazebo in the garden provides a breathtaking 360° panorama that includes a close up of two castles, that of Castello di Reschio and of Sorbello across the valley in Tuscany.
