A family dream, built by hand.

From a ruin in the Italian countryside to a welcoming home for travelers from around the world.

Il Borghetto began in 2012 as a family dream.
We are Belgian and we decided to move to Italy in search of a better life — closer to nature, culture and the warmth of the Italian way of living.

We fell in love with the region of Le Marche, with its landscapes, its people and its cibo.
We found a ruin in Montedinove.
Where others saw an old building, we saw possibility — and an incredible view.

As a family, we began rebuilding it with our own hands, together with local companies.

With the craftsmanship and experience of bricklayers — and with the energy and presence of the whole family, the project slowly took shape.

Every holiday.
Every free weekend.
Stone after stone.
Wall after wall.

There were challenges and sacrifices along the way, but we moved forward together.

What began as our family home gradually became something more.
The house was too large just for us, and we felt the desire to open our doors — to create a small agritourism and share this place with others.

After 13 years of dedication, Il Borghetto became:

Our home.
Six guest rooms.
And a place where we welcome you as part of our family story.

Don't dream your life, live your dreams.
