Peaceful and Secluded with Amazing Views to the Surrounding Hills
2 x 1 Bedroom Apartments
|

In sight of Urbino in our big organic farm, our charming apartments are the perfect starting point for discovering unspoilt Le Marche region (Italy's best kept secret), that is if you succeed leaving your own secluded terrace or the pool with sweeping views of the landscape. Complete gourmet kitchens, welcoming and comfortable interiors, private outside sitting areas to enjoy the sun or eat al fresco, beautiful surrounding countryside, sustainability (100% of the heating, hot water and electricity come from renewable energies), local hosts with wide knowledge of the area, of the local traditions and cooking and very good English, this is what our guests appreciate about us. Gorgeous dinners can be prepared upon request at our nearby inn, prepared with our homegrown organic produce. Our swimming pool, shared with the other guests of the inn, is at your disposal and horseriding is available, for you to explore this beautiful area in a different way.

Guest comments
'The apartment has been recently finished to the highest standard and is beautifully decorated and organised - if only our home could be that well designed! Everything you could want for a self-catering holiday is provided: One bedroom (v. comfy bed), living room / dining room with a sofa bed (actually a very comfy sofa - unusual for a sofa bed); well fitted kitchen and bathroom and utility room. The terrace faces south and is covered by gorgeous sunshine for the whole day. There are two sun loungers, a table and chairs and a parasol to make it comfortable. If it gets too hot you can retreat inside which, due to the good insulation (do keep the blinds down and windows closed), keeps the apartment cool. When it is really hot you can walk up the farm track to the main building, which is a B&B, and jump into the lovely pool, which also has a great view. Couldn't think of a nicer place just to unwind. And as for the hostess, she makes you extremely welcome and can answer all you questions.
Owner profile
About the owner
Organic farmer, innkeeper, cook, baker, linguist, animal lover.
Year purchased: 1980's
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
In the late 70’ my parents, an architect who designed mainly hotels, from the building to the furniture, and a housewife and mother with a great interest in herbalism and gardening decided to leave the city and start a new life as organic farmers. They started looking for the farm of their dreams, difficult task since most agricultural areas were already seriously polluted or devoted to highly chemical agriculture. In the early 80’ they decided that Le Marche was ideal. Agriculture in this hilly area was still quite “traditional” and Urbino would assure a lively place to live where culture could be found along with beautiful landscapes, surrounded by other beautiful hilltop towns in this region, described as "Italy's best kept secret".
Unique benefits of the property
Enjoy Northern Le Marche from your own private hideaway, our apartments are perfectly located for you to enjoy the quietness of the countryside and easily reach all the hilltop towns, archaeological and natural sites. We've been living in the area for a long time and we know a lot about architecture, art, gastronomy and nature and speak good English to help our guests get the best from their visit.
