One Bedroom and Three Bedroom Restored Farmhouse

If bright lights, trendy bars and discos, and designer shops are requirements of your ideal holiday, then Le Casette is probably not the right choice. If however, you are looking for a beautiful holiday home set in stunning countryside with majestic mountain views, easy access to walking and cycling routes, close proximity to medieval towns and villages set on the top of hills, then Le Casette could just be the answer.The property is split into two separate self-contained units with accommodation for a total of 12 people. Complementing the house in the secluded garden is a 10 by 5m. swimming pool for the exclusive use of guests. Even though the house is located in a rural location, it is close enough to shops, bars, restaurants and markets in the surrounding towns. The Sibillini National Park, with its abundance of wildlife is on our doorstep. The ski resort of Bolognola is 25 minutes away and the beautiful Adriatic beaches only 30 minutes by car.

Spring, Autumn and Winter schedules vary, although it is always possible to get from the United Kingdom to one of the airports daily. Transfer time to get from Ancona is one hour 25 minutes, from Pescara and Perugia approximately 2 hours. Car hire is essential and all the major hire companies are represented at the airports. For driving directions and a map of the area try Google Earth.
Distances
The main town of the area is Sarnano, about 5km from the house. Gualdo, our nearest village is 2km and our community, San Genesio is approximately 6km.
The regional capital of Macerata with its July festival of opera is 25 km and Ascoli Piceno with, reputedly, the most beautiful marble piazza in Italy is about 35km away.
The world famous caves at Frassissi are 40km north.
Further details
If you tire of relaxing by the pool, soaking up the sun, Le Casette is the perfect base to explore the surrounding area. The main towns of Gualdo, San Genesio and Sarnano all have a weekly market, supermarkets, banks, bakeries, fruit and vegetable shops and chemists. Sarnano, being the largest of these naturally has more of each and also a medical centre. Slightly further afield the towns of Amandola, Penna San Giovanni and St Angelo in Pantano all offer something a little different for the visitor to see. Many of the towns in the area have been awarded the Bandiere Arancione (Orange Banner) by the Italian tourist board, which denotes towns of special interest and beauty. Beyond the immediate vicinity lies the Sibillini National Park.Within the park are several lakes. The Lago Fiastra is a man-made lake with tantalising azure water, in which the locals swim. Even though the journey is a little scary through 'S' bends the view when you arrive is well worth it. There are several cycling routes around the area, ranging in distance from 10 to 100 km, all of which are ratified by the Italian Cycling Federation.Cycles can be hired from Sarnano. Walking is a delight in the woods and forests which surround the house and in the National Park all forms of wildlife abound. The whole area is a Mecca for artists, and photographers.
Naturally, as in the whole of Italy, culture and festivals play an important part in life. In August virtually every town has evening festivals which are free to attend. The 'buzz' in and around the piazza is electric on these occasions. Most of the towns have magnificent medieval churches and buildings to complement the narrow pavements and streets. Macherata holds it's world-famous opera in the town's amphitheatre each year in July. Le Marche produces its own local white wine, Verdicchio and you can book to visit Cantinas to see the wine being made. But remember, whatever your choice 'Amore Italia' 'Amore Le Marche' 'Amore Le Casette'.
