A perfect relaxing vacation
Casal dei Fichi makes for a superb holiday: it is a perfect place to stay in a magnificent landscape, with charming, knowledgeable hosts. Begin to imagine this ideal vacation by learning about the Marche region, a still relatively undiscovered part of Italy, with medieval hill towns every bit as attractive as Tuscany surrounded by working farms spread over rolling hills. Then, picture an original farmhouse quietly nestled among these hills, with extraordinary views in all directions, each of which is more than worthy of a postcard. That farmhouse has been creatively and beautifully restored by your hosts, Bob and Ian, and now features six comfortable apartments, each with its unique charms. To all of this, add the exceptional welcome of Bob and Ian who have found that special balance—sharing this amazing environment as well as their expertise about the region with their visitors, yet taking their cue from the guests and allowing them to engage and explore (or not) at their leisure. Should one wish to undertake excursions in the surrounding areas, the medieval hill towns feature historical elements that co-exist with the modern world in remarkable ways: stone buildings, stunning architecture, and narrow streets are as much a part of the lived reality of the residents here, as are the food, wine, and vibrant culture. These communities are proud of their heritage and of their local traditions. The Marche offers opportunities for an appreciation of working farms (olives, grapes, sunflowers, fruits of all kinds, and glorious vegetables), as well as a long coastline of resorts on the Adriatic where Italians themselves vacation. The food and wine of this region rivals other parts of Italy, with fresh fish and seafood from the Adriatic as a special treat. In this environment, Bob and Ian have created a very special oasis at Casal del Fichi. They have the gift of instantly making their guests feel like old friends who soon feel like they, too, belong to this special corner of the world.

“Fifth time back-still as good as ever”
Casal dei Fichi took us by surprise when we first went six years ago and it never fails to disappoint even after our fifth visit. Superb location, unbelieveable views, almost self-sufficient living if you want it, long, languid agriturismo Sunday lunches with some lovely people and the best hosts on the planet. Don't take our word for it-just go.

My Cup of Tea!!
It’s been almost a month since our return from our third visit to Casel Dei Fichi, – we had wondered why people return to the same place! We now know why! Le Marche, is a very pretty region of Italy, lovely hill top towns, steeped in history and wonderfully family friendly beaches. The food and wine of the region are not only excellent, but inexpensive, (unlike Tuscany). Casel Dei Fichi is a very special place in Le Marche, run by two very special people, Bob and Ian. We spent most evenings at Casel Dei Fichi simply popping a cork and sitting in front of the TV! By TV, we mean “Terrific View”. Casel Dei Fichi is set in the most wondrous panoramic location. The views across the valley are stunning, with pretty hill top villages such as Montegeorgio and Monte San Pietrangeli in the distance. Our accommodation was perfect; we stayed in apartment Ricci, which has everything you need including a private outside dining area. Bob and Ian are remarkable hosts, always smiling and nothing appears to be too much trouble. Their knowledge of the region is first class, and can recommend beaches to visit, restaurants and even where to go if you fancy a day in Sibillini mountains. We loved the Fresh eggs for breakfast, courtesy of Bob and Ian’s hens, and the fruit and veg from the garden, lovingly tendered by Bob. We must mention the Pizza evening, such fun, and an excellent opportunity to meet other guests at the start of the week. Needless to say, we have booked for next year!

The Perfect Holiday
We have just had our 4th stay at Casal dei Fichi and it was as good as ever. The views from the farmhouse are stunning, the apartments are comfortable and well-equipped, and the resident owners are only too willing to ensure that you have a wonderful holiday. There was a very welcome bottle of wine chilling in the fridge when we arrived, and we loved breakfasting on fresh eggs from the resident chickens, and courgettes and herbs from the vegetable garden. The kitchens in the appartments are very well equipped but if cooking when you are on holiday is not for you, you will be spoilt for choice when eating out. There are many wonderful, and very cheap, restaurants within easy driving distance of CDF - you certainly won't go hungry here!

About the host

Hosted by Bob Garner

Host profile image
We are Bob and Ian and moved to Marche 13 years ago to set up Casal dei Fichi. We left behind successful careers in London to move to a less stressful way of life in an area often described as 'all of Italy in one region'. We live on site with our 3 dogs, 4 cats and 7 chickens. We are very proud to have established a reputation for helping our guests have a fantastic holiday.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property to renovate and convert into apartments because of the vista - it has a wonderful panoramic 360 degree view and it is the first thing that our guests comment on when they arrive! The area is truly stunning and we are located near to a village for shops, restaurants and things to see and do. We also chose our area as it less than one hour's drive from the airport which we think is an important factor for our guests - why be driving when you can be sat by the pool with a glass of local vino!

What makes this property unique

We have tried to create a friendly, stylish and comfortable place for your holiday. We are here if you need us and we are always ready to give advice, book a restaurant or organise a day out or an event for you. If you like your peace and quiet then you have it - as one guest review said 'Bob and Ian are available but never intrusive'.

Please join us for our weekly complimentary pizza party based on our original brick oven in the garden - great fun to make your own pizza and share it with your fellow guests.

In the grounds you will find an orchard, herb and vegetable gardens and our free range chickens, please help yourself to our produce - nothing better than fresh ingredients straight from the garden!

Finally we have worked hard to make sure you have everything you need in your kitchen to prepare a wonderful meal. The feedback we get is that we have thought of everything and we have tried to equip your kitchen to the same standard as you have at home.
