Guest comments
“A fabulous week – wish it was longer – the house is a dream – the pool and gardens are glorious! We love the area and I’m sure will come back again. The wine cupboard is a great idea, the housekeeper was hugely helpful and friendly – we cannot fault this place!” -G. Saunders, Bath
“Casa Val d’Aso is a very peaceful place with inspiring views! We had a great time here as it is very convenient for the mountains, coast and main towns. Thank you – this place is lovely!" - L. Nori, London.

Owner profile
About the owner
I live in Southampton, England and work full time. Whenever I get time off work I enjoy staying at the farmhouse.
Year purchased: 2003
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Le Marche is an lovely part of Italy. The scenery is breathtaking and ever changing - there is something to look at all through the year! I also love the food - similar to the scenery there is always a speciality of the month or the season, and it is always local, and homemade with lots of care and attention. The area is fantastic for access to the coast and the mountains; there is a great mix of intriguing hilltop medieval villages and larger towns with great shopping (or people watching!) With Ancona and Pescara airports just over an hours drive from the house, as well as many more flight options within a three hour drive the access to the area is brilliant. Finally, the people are very friendly. Try speaking a little Italian and you will uncover a lot more about the area.
Unique benefits of the property
Our house in particular enjoys easy access to the coast and the mountains, and a good access road up to the house. Of course there is the fabulous swimming pool which is great for a cool off, and for burning off some of the many calories consumed while staying at the house! There are also a range of terrace areas so you can always find a quiet spot to read a book or have a nap. There is also a library of books, DVDs, Playstation 2 games and board games for guests to enjoy. The house is also a perfect layout for multi family holidays with the master suites at each end of the house affording each family privacy. There are also two living rooms - one for adults and another upstairs with a TV and games console where the kids can make themselves at home!
