Immersed in the gentle hills of Gubbio, in San Bartolomeo di Burano, the B&B Ma Che Idea presents itself as an intimate and discreet refuge where the tranquility of nature embraces a carefully restored farmhouse. It inspires a lifestyle marked by the authentic rhythms of the Umbrian countryside, offering guests a family atmosphere in which to breathe tranquility and feel at home, far from the noise of the city.
The three rooms, each with a private bathroom, are named after the colors of Calcio Storico Fiorentino, a tribute to the Tuscan roots of the owners, which are also reflected in the warm hospitality of the common areas. The breakfast room, bright and welcoming, serves as a place of sharing where one can start the day with fresh and genuine products, but it remains available throughout the following hours, thanks to appliances designed for those who wish to heat meals purchased outside. This arrangement gives guests the freedom to organize their days according to their own pace, prioritizing the discovery of the territory.
During the warmer season, the garden becomes an oasis of relaxation where one can enjoy contact with nature, accompanied by the silence of the woods and the discreet presence of fallow deer that sometimes appear at dawn. The hot tub offers moments of wellness, surrounded by the scents and sounds of the countryside. In the colder months, the large fireplace creates a cozy and comfortable environment, ideal for spending quiet evenings, accompanying conversations with a good glass of Montefalco wine.
The local setting simultaneously enhances both the history and the landscape of this little-known but charming area. San Bartolomeo di Burano, spared from mass tourism, preserves the essence of a rural past in close contact with nature and the ancient experiences of mountain communities born along ancient routes of communication such as the Via Flaminia. The proximity to Gubbio, a city with a well-preserved medieval heritage, and to picturesque villages like Scheggia, Sigillo, and Costacciaro, makes it easy to combine culturally stimulating excursions with immersions in a varied landscape that extends to the Marche region, with the possibility of reaching the Adriatic Sea in less than an hour.
The informal and genuine management, characterized by the Florentine background of the owner, who is passionate about photography and drones, conveys a spontaneous hospitality attentive to the needs of the contemporary traveler, eager to live authentic experiences. Here, time expands, between walks in the woods and moments of simple conviviality, leaving space for a gentle rediscovery of one’s inner rhythm in a corner of Umbria far from mass tourism.
