Il Rifugio dei Marsi
Nature and retreatSleep in a wine barrel in the nature
In our glamping you can sleep in a barrel surrounded by nature in a panoramic location on the Marche hills of Roccafluvione (near the historical city of Ascoli Piceno). The two barrels are available only for 2 persons/per night. They are located inside the glamping area where there are the herb garden, the vegetable garden and the private forest – made up of truffle plants – equipped with hammocks where you can relax. A unique location totally immersed in quiet of nature where you can enjoy the unusual experience of sleeping in a wine barrel surrounded by the authentic beauty of rural life.
How it works
Our barrels are designed and equipped with every comfort. The furnishings are the result of a deep research and attention to details. All materials used are exclusively made of wood or with second-hand objects that we have given a second life. The result is a cozy love nest, a unique and authentic environment that reflects our tastes and ethics.
There are 2 barrels but only usable by one couple per day: the interior rooms, the outdoor patio, the hot tub, and the herb garden are only accessible to the couple staying there, ensuring maximum privacy and tranquility. Barrel 1 is used as a bedroom, while Barrel 2 is divided in half between bathroom and living room. The shower is located in a small wooden house behind the barrels.
No matter the season, you can enjoy our barrels all year round thanks to the heating system installed in each room.
Live the experience to sleep in a barrel and be transported to a unique adventure in the countryside of the Marche Region!
