We have finally started to create a website for CASA CARPE DIEM - please visit us at www.villabarca.com

The site is still under construction but already has information about our location and how to travel to the new CARPE DIEM :)! 

Currently we are talking to architects and companies to start building a wonderful pool for those hot summer days - as we get more information we will keep you posted!

For now - CIAO E A PRESTO !!

We did it!!

On November 21st, 2015 we made the big trip! Rainer, Jürgen and Hans along with their two dogs and two cats moved to Liguria, Italy to start their new adventure. 

On Sunday 11/22 we visited our new Casa Carpe Diem for the first time in person and on Thursday we happily signed the contract. 

We couldn't be more ecstatic about our future home and already made the plans for your guest rooms :)

We will be opening our doors soon - so stay tuned and contact us should your paths lead our way ! 

Welcome to Casa Carpe Diem

Welcome to “Casa Carpe Diem”, the new project of previous CARPE DIEM GUESTHOUSE  owners Rainer, Jürgen and Hans. While we are getting ready to open doors to a new luxury B&B in Liguria, Italy, we would like to invite you to follow our paths.

This wonderful retreat will be the perfect gateway to everything the region has to offer. Monte Carlo, Nice, or Genoa are only a short drive away, but even destinations like Milano, Switzerland and Venice are easy to reach by train or car.

Casa Carpe Diem is the optimal base to explore this part of the old world. Check back soon for updates

Where we will be

Liguria

The Italian Riviera, elegant seaside resorts, rugged mountainsides and villages nestling in rocky coves

The region of Liguria is a slender strip of land at the top of Italy's boot, curving north-westwards around the Mediterranean, stretching from Tuscany to the French border. This area is often known as the 'Italian Riviera' and its seaside resorts and elegant promenades have attracted sun-hungry northern Europeans for more than a century. The generally rocky coastline rises up to inland mountains which are increasingly steep and high towards the north-west where the Maritime Alps (reaching up to over 2,600m in height) meet the sea. This geography has created a famously mild climate benefiting both tourism and the region's renowned gardens.

Even if you've never been there, you've probably seen its northeastern border in all those movies where glamorous jet setters hop into their sports cars and motor from Monte Carlo to Rome. 
Like so much of Italy, Liguria is a land of contrasts, home to belle époque seaside resort towns in the style of Cannes and Monaco; dozens and dozens of sandy strands, rocky coves and pebbly beaches;  some of its most secluded stretches of coast, where lush forests of lemon trees, herbs, flowers, almonds and pines send forth heady sweet-smelling breezes; terraced hillsides that produce an olive oil considered more delicate than those grown in Tuscany.
