Notes on prices
Prices are for the property per week in UK pounds.

Changeover day
Our preferred changeover day is Saturday and during high season we must generally stick to this. However, we recognise that flights are often cheaper mid-week and so we try to be flexible. On changeover day departure is before 10am and arrival after 4pm

Notes on accommodation
The property has full central heating and each bedroom has a fan to cool the room in summer. All windows have integral fly screens.
The property is best suited to adults and children over 12 who can swim - the pool is not fenced off.

Amenities/Facilities provided

Accessibility
All the accommodation is on the ground floor but there are some steps between rooms. Bedroom 3 complete with its own amenities is located in a separate cottage opposite the tennis court, some 50 feet from the main house and down a short flight of wide steps.

Outside
The flat terraced land encircling the house is perfect for outside living with many different seating areas, hammocks and swing seats offering spectacular views. There is an olive grove, a wooded area and rolling grass fields. There are many fruit trees yielding cherries, figs, apples, pears and nuts in season plus a small veg plot and herb garden – guests are encouraged to enjoy.
The 12m x 6m pool has a state of the art cover which rolls on and off easily so providing solar heated water and swimming under cover if preferred. The pool is one depth throughout and therefore excellent for team games such as water volleyball. There is outdoor lighting both in the pool, along the drive and around the entire terracing – making the property great for evening entertaining
The Portico overlooking the pool has dining facilities for 7; additional soft seating; large gas BBQ; music and speaker system
The hard tennis court is completely fenced - there are 4 racquets and masses of balls.

Coast/Beach
Apart from the pool and grounds of La Passione where you can soak up the sun and relax in total privacy, you are only 35 minutes from a bustling coastline. The beaches of Le Marche are long and sandy with warm shallow seas. Locally, San Benedetto and her fellow resorts provide safe bathing and beautifully manicured, palm treed boulevards for evening promenading – and the fish restaurants are unequalled!

Travel
The nearest airports are Pescara - 1 hour to the south, and Ancona 1.5 hours to the north. Hire cars are available from the airports although it is possible to take a fast train to Ascoli Piceno and from there a Pullman to Venarotta. You can walk into the village of Venarotta (La Passione sits on the outskirts) It has two mini supermarkets with their own fresh produce, a doctor, a pharmacy, a post office, a garage, a hairdresser, a fish shop, a bakery, a church and perhaps half a dozen bars!!

Distances
La Passione is 9 kilometres from Ascoli Piceno. This beautiful historic town is southern Marche's major centre - as its tourist brochure says, ‘it is a place you can see in a day yet never forget’. Its marble paved ‘Piazza del Popolo’ is one of the most beautiful in Italy. You can sit in the magnificent 1920’s restored bar of Meletti’s on the corner of the square with a cocktail and canapés and watch real Italian life at its best. It's wonderful for shopping, and has a big market twice a week

Further details
At the end of the drive we have the locally feted ‘Il Casolare’ serving magnificent fine Italian cuisine; in our village there is the great value pizza restaurant, ‘Arco Baleno’; in the next village (the local truffle centre) ‘Ruspante’ prepares a delicious rustic feast at a set price – no menu, just good quality local food. Ascoli has an abundance of restaurants both large and small – too many good choices to recommend here. And if that wasn’t enough, our neighbour is the proud manager the Venarotta wine cantina – excellent for all your local wines.
Many people visit for the natural beauty of the area and much of the spectacular inland mountain country remains unscathed by human development.
La Passione lies in the foothills of the Sibillini mountain range. Some of the most impressive mountain scenery can be found here – it’s a natural wilderness dotted with tiny mountain villages. The walks are abundant and often follow mountain streams –they are a botanist's paradise in spring. The park is also rich in bird life
To our north lie the Frasassi caves, which are the longest and among the most interesting in Italy with a 240 m high central chamber. They are some of the most spectacular limestone caves you are ever likely to visit.
Limestone again has created the Furlo Gorge, a dramatic natural pass through the mountains that has been in use since prehistoric times.
