Welcome aboard of La Barca !
12 Years ago, a unique ship set its anchor at the north Italian coast near Sanremo - la Barca - the birthplace to its unique location, where everyone is welcome, nobody judged - everyone can be themselves and feel like home.
Directly within “Bussana Vecchia”, the historic artists village, which has been founded in the 60´s by an international group of artists - A small village on a hill, overlooking the Medditerrean sea, which has been a ghost town in the past due to an earthquake, restored and rebuilt by said artists.
While entering one of the most unique villages in the world, you’ll be drawn towards the spirit of La Barca, truly the most unique place in the world and the embodiment of persistence.
Firstly welcomed by “Bo” - the ship pig, you’ll enter its first decks among lemon-, olive- & grapefruit trees. Next to its garden, you may climb the stairs towards La Barca´s main deck, which has been created by Ronald,
with much care, love and an extraordinary attention for detail.
From its beginning, Ronald´s fine understanding of hospitality and warmly welcoming people has sets its foundation stone within the DNA of this ship.
A walk-in tourist attraction, where every guest gets free wine, coffee or pizza - which, by far, is the best pizza you can possible experience in Italy.
Home-made , in a stone oven with fire, the best original taste, as unique and original as la Barca itself, and the hospitality of its creator.
Firstly intended to host crews of ships along the way, offering free food and sleeping places, la Barca has developed into a landmark of hospitality.
Walking through its living art installation which has become a global renowned tourist attraction, La Barca offers a free place to stay, eat, rest or simply to recharge, breathe and be.
As inspiration for all guests and artists to recharge their batteries, co create within or host an open air vernissage, or to just be, La Barca is as limitless as the open waters.
It doesnt matter where youre from, whats your diet, religion, culture or wether or not you smoke or drink, without judgement, everyone is welcome to be.
Within the location, every guest can co create and design the place, volunteer and help its development; building rooms or decorating, renovating the different decks or help in the multilayered garden.
But sometimes calm ships stir up the waters.. As simple and peaceful as the guest experience in La Barca can be, not everyone along the way liked the idea of its concept.
So was the ship and its creator multiple times under attack. Although positively and genuinely intended, this project has met a lack of understanding from the outside. Physical attacks toward the owner and its partner were the experience of its story as well. Also the urge to steal and take from this place was finding its way toward the misunderstanding of many, although everyone is welcome and all is free, the anchor set, was a disturbance to others.
Despite all he physical environment being mishandled along the way as well as the personal health which was at risk and the damage which has been done unto its creator and girlfriend, Ronald never gave up and persisted limitlessly, with his drive, energy and motivation to do something good, be of service and offer generous hospitality.
