Also the pool is close to the house and not fenced off, consequently not suitable for unsupervised or non swimming children. For birdlovers - in spring, nightingales sing nearby. No pets please.

Further details
Santa Vittoria is a charming, lively and historic village with about 1500 inhabitants - it is off the beaten track so tourists are not numerous and are welcomed. There are three small grocers , a baker, a butcher, fruiterer, post office, bank, pharmacy, cafes and 2 good restaurants within 5-10 mins walk of the house. Round and about there are numerous hilltop villages within a few minutes drive - many with weekly markets - Servigliano has a market every Monday. A little further away are the old hilltop towns of Fermo and Macerata with its summer opera season. The provincial capital of Ascoli Piceno is a very beautiful and interesting large town about one hour away and Urbino and Assisi make excellent day trips.

Guest comments
'The house is beautiful and so tastefully furnished and the pool and the views magnificent. When we opened the shutters on the first morning and saw the views we were overwhelmed and could not believe how lucky we were.' C.H, Somerset.
Owner profile
About the owner
A dream come true!
Always wanted a house in Italy - it was only in later years we could afford it. We looked in Umbria and Tuscany - no joy - too many tourists and too expensive. One year, the day before we left for home,we chanced upon Ascoli Piceno - amazed by glorious squares and Caffe Meletti we went straight into the first estate agent - no English! - why should they? but next year we went back and started to look. An Italian friend says Le Marche people are the kindest & we agree.
It took 6 years to find a site with an amazing view in a village & build a house with a pool. We owe our good fortune to the village - Santa Vittoria - and the people who helped us find the site. There it is - up its own wee drive - our dream come true. Ciao.
