For guests

Welcome guide

What you need before you arrive, and in the first minutes in the house. Send this link to confirmed guests.

How to get here

A car is handy, but not required. Adriabus coaches run from Pesaro FS and from Fano straight to Urbino: from Pesaro station about 50 minutes (fast line, about €4, every 30–60 minutes on weekdays). Fano is a similar ride. In Urbino you usually get off at Park Santa Lucia, with lifts up to the centre. From Urbino there are buses to Urbania and a few, rarer, runs on to Peglio — often with a change in Urbania. Thin service in the evening, on Saturdays and in summer: always check before you travel. Paper tickets — what Urbino students use — are bought before you board, not on the bus (since May 2026). Look for the Adriabus sticker on newspaper kiosks, tobacconists and bars, including those at Pesaro and Fano stations. Official ticket offices (Mon–Sat about 7:30–13:30): Pesaro, Piazza Falcone e Borsellino (in front of the train station); Fano, Via Pisacane; Urbino, Park Santa Lucia bus terminal. There are also TVM machines (cash or card). Stamp the QR as soon as you get on. Or use the Adriabus app (iPhone and Android) or MooneyGo for times, live buses and an electronic ticket. Times also on adriabus.eu, My Bus or Moovit. If you reach Urbino or Urbania by bus, we will pick you up — a free extra we offer our guests. Write the day before with the bus time. In the village, park below the borgo, not in the square; the last climb is narrow.

Access

The house sits in a stone village: there are steps, cobbles, and no lift. It is not suitable if stairs or a heavy case on a climb are a problem.

Wi-Fi

Network name and password are on the kitchen card, next to the coffee pot. 50 GB, strong through the house.

Parking

Leave the car in the car park below the village — the inner lanes are narrow and often one-way. From there it is a two-minute walk up to the door.

The door

We send the code or key instructions the day before arrival. The door is in the stone, on the left after the arch.

Waste

Waste is sorted, as everywhere in the comune. Bags and the calendar are under the sink. Glass and paper go to the point at the end of the lane — not in the mixed bin.

In the house

The wood stove is for October to April; wood is in the cupboard. The fuse box is in the entrance, high on the right. If the water is not hot, wait two minutes — the boiler restarts itself.

Emergencies

European emergency: 112. Nearest casualty: Urbino. Our number is at the bottom of this page — call us first if something in the house is wrong.

The season in the valley

Peglio is out of the way. What is open, what to pack, and what the months actually feel like.

Mar – May

Spring

New green, few visitors. Pack a sweater and a jacket for the evening. Urbino and the paths are at their best; some village kitchens still keep short hours in March.

Jun – Aug

Summer

Hot in the valley, cooler on the hill at night. No air conditioning — keep the shutters closed at midday. Village festivals, markets, busier roads. Book tables in Urbino on August weekends.

Sep – Nov

Autumn

The best months for many: truffle, harvest, low light. Bring walking shoes. By November you will want the stove. Some bars shut an extra day each week.

Dec – Feb

Winter

Real quiet. The house warms with the stove; come with warm clothes. A few days of fog or ice on the climb. Urbino stays open; smaller villages go still after lunch.
