Gli Alberi Alti (the tall trees) in the tiny hamlet of Caicaccia is a beautifully restored, comfortable and well-equipped ground-floor apartment surrounded by hills and mountains. It boasts a luxury Italian designer kitchen and furnishings. The flat is only 6 minutes drive from the bustling medieval market town of Cagli. There is a terrace where you can relax and take in the spectacular views. You can take a walk into the mountains directly from the doorstep, but it is only a short drive to the ancient cities of Urbino and Gubbio and only half an hour from the Adriatic coast and its beaches. The apartment is a perfect base for exploring this unspoiled beautiful region. This is the real Italy. There is no shortage of restaurants and bars within easy reach. The local food and wine are delicious and are excellent value. The perfect place. In the perfect countryside. For the perfect escape.

Guest comments
"There was one big problem with the apartment - we didn't want to leave. Thank you so much." - T.Larkin.
"We both had such a wonderful holiday in Italy and your flat was a fabulous base. To wake up in the morning to birdsong and that fantastic view was the best therapy imaginable. Your notes made the holiday stress-free and easy to manage ... thank you for letting us share such a lovely experience." - S.Hulin
"thank you so much for renting us a wonderful property in such a stunning location. It was particularly pleasant to find that the common holidaymaking crowds are nowhere near spoiling the area!" - J.Dickens

A well deserved beer after a long walk
About the owner
We are a couple in our fifties living in north London. Simon is a civil servant in Westminster and Nikki a dental nurse in Muswell Hill.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We looked in France and Spain, but nothing ticked all our boxes. We had not considered buying in Italy until, on the recommendation of a friend, we went to the Marche. There, we were bowled over by the staggering beauty of the countryside, the overwhelming friendliness of the people, the historical and artistic treasures and, of course, the food and wine! We love the feeling of seclusion, peace and quiet, yet the apartment has the convenience of being only an hour away on good roads from Ancona or Perugia airports.
Unique benefits of the property
The property is in a peaceful location in a tiny and pretty hamlet, surrounded by fields and woods, with beautiful views directly from the apartment, which has a terrace and its own land stretching down the hill in front. Yet we are only a 5-6 minute drive from the medieval market town of Cagli. There are plenty of excellent restaurants, bars, shops and markets - within easy reach. The mountains are literally on the doorstep (great for keen walkers). For sightseeing you are perfectly positioned for Urbino and Gubbio and many other historic hilltop towns and villages; for the coast, you are 30 mins away from the ancient Roman port of Fano and not far from other beaches. One can swim in the rivers nearby. We also like doing absolutely nothing and enjoying the peace and quiet!
