Villa Barca, a gay owned and operated boutique resort, has been created as a place where every traveler is welcome. As a Straight-friendly resort you can be sure of a truly inclusive welcome! Located in the hinterland of the Italian Riviera and only 20 minutes from the beach resort Alassio, we are situated right between the famous Italian city of Genova and Nice at the Côte d’Azur. High above the valley of the Lerrone River this historic mansion, which was built in the 18th century by a squire and local tax official with connections to the Italian royal family, offers a stunning vista of the Ligurian hills and the Mediterranean sea in the distance.
Surrounded by spacious, truly enchanting gardens and parks Villa Barca is the perfect place to forget about the hectic life “down there” and enjoy the peace and serenity of the Ligurian countryside.
Ancient stone oaks filter the rays of sun, the elegant french doors are wide open and let in the smells and sounds of the garden. That describes a typical summer day at “Il Giardino.”, our intimate garden suite. The table for your al fresco meal can then be set under the branches of the grand, old chestnut tree. On cooler nights, the fireplace provides cozy comfort and a nice, romantic atmosphere. “Il Giardino” is a place for dreamy souls and is adjacent to our “Capella,” a room of stillness, which invites to the practice of meditation and yoga.
After a day full of activities VILLA BARCA awaits its guests with the unique atmosphere that this resort has to offer. The Villa sits on 15.000 square meters of Mediterranean garden and olive growth.
Relaxation with a view: That’s what our guest can expect in our tranquil sauna-garden. Whether dozing in the sun, taking a refreshing footbath, an energizing shower in our grotto, or soaking in our plunge pool - you will always have commanding views of the valley down to the Mediterranean sea. A perfect place to just enjoy life and let go. For colder days our Finnish sauna along with some herbal infusions will make you feel revived and rejuvenated.
A unique part of Villa Barca is the old church that sits adjacent to the main building. Erected in the 1700s and modernized by the original owner of the Villa it is now hosting our "room of stillness". A quiet place to meditate, practice Yoga or just enjoy the luxury of tranquility. You can also schedule Ayurvedic and other holistic treatments during your stay to enhance the perfect balance of body and mind.

Just 20 minutes by car are the sandy beaches of Alassio, one of Italy's most mundane seaside resorts. The Lerrone Valley offers all kinds of outdoor activities, from hiking and mountain biking to laid-back picknick hours. For the more leisurely tourist the Ligurian coast shows itself as a true treasure box: cozy little seaside towns, steep mountain passes that lead to old, medieval villages and the famous Via Aurelia that brings you straight to the chic Corniche of France's Cote d 'Azur, where you can explore along the road famous places like Menton, Monte Carlo and Nice.
