This 6 bedroom stone country house is in the centre of the scenic 'Golden Triangle' area of Le Marche. This is 'real Italy' so forget Tuscan prices! Our information pack (see our website) gives details of the places of interest and restaurants with a price guide to help you enjoy for yourself the pleasures of this beautiful unspoilt area. Recent guests from New Zealand summed it up by saying they had a terrific time, thoroughly enjoyed the house, the local villages, including our recommendations for eating out and that the view from the terrace would stay in their memories for a long time. The pool and house offer privacy, comfortable furnishings and accommodation with stunning views south across the valley to Monte San Martino, and the Sibillini mountains. The Adriatic Coast - with its long sandy beaches and fabulous sea food - is a short drive away. Near Ancona, is the magnificent Conero National Park and the medieval towns of Macerata, Fermo, Loreto and Ascoli Piceno are not far.

Guest comments
‘Thanks for a very enjoyable stay. The house is beautiful and the views are outstanding. Fantastic china and glass; very impressed with the cot and highchair - great quality. All in all a great holiday in a lovely house. We’ve had an absolutely fantastic time’ - Mr and Mrs S – Tring, Herts.
'Had a tremendous time in Le Marche. Thanks for your part in it. We found the villa perfect and very clean on our arrival, especially the pool where we spent quite a lot of time. Great idea having steps into it rather than a vertical ladder. We also went to several of the restaurants you recommended’ Mr and Mrs B - Malpas, Cheshire
'We had a fantastic holiday in superb villa in a glorious part of Italy. Every thing was spot on, the attention to detail was second to none. I will certainly be recommending the villa to friends and family. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful villa' - Mr and Mrs M, Birlingham, Worcs.
