Guest comments
A big thank you for our stay in your lovely home! The house is simply beautiful and in such idyllic surroundings. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, so much so we hardly left the area. Most of the time we were happy to laze by the pool by day and spend every evening making the most of the fantastic kitchen and local produce. We have been to villas before but never one as well organised as yours. You have thought of everything you could possibly need for a home away from home:games, DVD’s, cook books (Jamie Oliver’s book is so much better when you have proper Italian ingredients). It was quite simply, perfect. For such a wonderful holiday.... Grazie!!! Paul, London
Thank you so much for our stay in your beautifully presented house. We are very impressed with the standard and can see all the hard work that's gone in. We had a wonderful time made comfortable and splendidly relaxing by the home you have created. We felt very privileged to be staying there. Congratulations. Grace, Oxford
Owner profile
About the owner
We are a young married couple from London with a small child. We've been going to Italy since we were children and absolutely love it. So much so, we decided to buy and build the house of our dreams there! We love great food, wine, weather and culture - everything you get plenty of in Italy and we enjoy with friends and family in our wonderful house.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We knew we wanted to buy in Italy and the Marche offered everything we could want - beautiful scenery, historic towns, mountains, beaches, great food and wine, but all without the crowds and cost of Tuscany or Umbria. The people are amazingly friendly and you can't fail to be made to feel welcome. We love the area so much, we even got married there when we fell in love with a tiny local church and persuaded 100 friends to join us for the most incredible weekend.
Unique benefits of the property
It really is our dream home. Everything you could want is there. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
