There is also a poolside bar and traditional restaurant with a beautiful terrace for outdoor dining.
With a choice of bars, restaurants and shops all within a 10 minute walk, you dont have to go far to soak up the atmosphere of the Italian way of life!
At 600 metres, the house enjoys the best of the glorious weather - long sunny days and pleasantly cooler nights.

Special interest holidays
Preci is ideal for exploring The Monti Sibillini National Park, which is incredibly rich in wild life including wolves, wild boar and golden eagles. Not to be missed is the famous Piano Grande, a high mountain plain that becomes a tapestry of wild flowers and rare orchids in the spring and early summer. This completely unspoilt region is a perfect location for artists and photographers.
The many trails that cross the hills provide spectacular walking, mountain or road cycling opportunities.
Families with children can go mule trekking, horse riding, river rafting and trout fishing.
For the adventurous, why not try rock climbing, canyoning, white water rafting, paragliding or hang gliding.
We can help with arrangements for all these activities and we also provide information, maps and guides for independent touring, walking and cycling.
Cookery courses with an English speaking chef, visits to food artisans and vineyards can be arranged.
