Apartment in Ancient Casale with Shared Pool and Private Garden
Tranquil Location with Stunning Countryside Views, Perfect for a Romantic Holiday
Sleeps 2 (1 Bedrooms)
|
|
Apartment Biccanello is one of five apartments in the Casale dei Rosoni (Castle of the Rose), once a 6th Century watchtower and once the house of the 'keeper of the roads' and is painted in the customary colour of terracotta to stand out against the landscape. The Casale is set on its own small hillock surrounded by a patchwork of olive groves, grapevines and distant historic hilltop villages. Being on the edge of the Sibillini National Park, it is a popular location for walkers and cyclists. The apartment offers a large double bedroom, a cosy sitting room, a newly-fitted kitchen, a luxurious bathroom and a private garden. There is a shared swimming pool, gardens and ample parking within the gated grounds. The sleepy village of Rotella and the slightly livelier village of Castignano are 2 and 3km away respectively. These villages provide all the necessary facilities - restaurants, supermarket, post office, pharmacy, bakery, butcher and banks.

Further details
This part of Italy is relatively undiscovered by tourists so it is advisable to carry an Italian phrasebook if you do not speak Italian. The local people are very helpful and will patiently listen to all sorts of fumbling with their language - so just have a go!

Owner profile
About the owner
Steve and Julia Bicknell, a specialist decorator and a fresh food manager for the 'Supermarket of the year'. We have three sons, 18, 23 and 25 - all have flown leaving us the opportunity to have some 'us' time - hence our beautiful apartment in Le Marche. We live our lives at high speed - always something to do, someone to please so we really treasure our time at Rotella - no phones, no TV, no newspapers, just peace. We aim to retire in about 7 years and look forward to being able to just hop on a plane and stay for as long as we like.
