Fantastic scenery, perfect for us
Appropriately 1 hour drive from Ancona airport and high up a hill we arrived at Villa Marchetti, the immediate welcome other than Tommaso (the owner) and his friends tending to the organic grapes as just finishing their harvesting, was a spectacular view!
The Villa was on two levels, a smaller one bedroomed apartment with kitchen, diner, lounge area and outside space with a BBQ looking onto gardens and pool area. Upstairs via outside steps was a large 4 double/triple bedroom apartment with 3 bathrooms, kitchen and outside covered terrace with heavenly views from every window.
As we had secured the whole villa, Tommaso was happy for us to have the upstairs appartment, still with access to the downstairs if wanted.
The pool was a perfect size and well maintained, with plenty of seating and shaded areas. The views fantastic overlooking the vineyards, fruit trees and beyond!
This was exactly what we were looking for in a much needed stress free holiday. Quietness, beautiful views, friendly locals, good weather, friendly locals and a kind/generous owner.
We had great walks up and down hills in the evenings and the two recommended restaurants were perfect in their quality and value for money! Both set menus, but the food just kept coming and it was delicious!
For a large family the Villa would work perfectly as there is much space and areas, but for us (just two) was even better!
Tommaso discretely visited twice daily to check his wine,which was helpful if advice was needed and he was more than helpful. We will be returning! Thank you Tommaso it was a lovely experience and would have loved to stay longer. X Lee and Raphael
