The best of both worlds
We had a great stay here with our two children (ages 4 and 8) and found the house to be well equipped and spotlessly presented. The location is great with mountains within a short drive and the beaches on the Adriatic about 45 mins drive away. There are local pools to swim in if you don't want to drive and great scenery with historic towns and cities within easy range. The nearest towns of Urbania and Fermignano have good amenities including trattorias and restaurants and a large supermarket in Fermignano.

Lovely flat in the Marche
We had a wonderfull time in the flat in August 2015. The facilities were very complete, all we needed was there. The owner is very kind and helpfull. The property was private, despite the owner lives at the other side of the . We visited many old villages like Gubbio and Urbino. We have found local wineries and enjoyed the beach at Fano.

Wonderful appartment
I can highly recommand the appartement of Isabelle. Last week of August 2014 we stayed at the beautiful an large apartment of Isabelle. Everything you need you will find in the well equipt apartment. Outside there is a nice place to sit in the sun and enjoy your meal with a nice glass of wine. By car It's just about 15 minutes drive to Urbania where you will find different restaurants. Urbino is a beautifull town not far from Urbania. Sant' Angelo in Vado is a small town near Urbania. Tip, visit the museo Archelogico and Domus del Mito, an old Roman house with wonderful mosaic flours. Isabelle is always there when you need some help or information. Isabelle, thanks for the nice time we had in your place. I've read the book we changed, it was beautiful. I will send it to you or deliver when we come to Italy next year. I will let you know. Best regards from Wim and Kath (Holland)

Peaceful, relaxing and wonderful views too!
We were so glad that we chose to go further inland than we usually do. The Marche region is beautiful and unspoiled. the flat has everything you need for a stress free holiday, and Isabelle is there if you need her.Never intrusive, but very helpful and friendly. She recommended various places to visit, including some very good restaurants. There was plenty of room for the three of us and our two large dogs and it was safe for them to roam around. We would certainly return and would wholeheartedly recommend it to others.

Very comfortable appartment set in lovely country
We had a beautiful time at Isabelle's bouse. The appartment is large, comfortable, very clean and very well equipped.The bouse is set in beautiful surroundings with great views on the hilly countryside. We had a very friendly welcome from Isabelle who provided us with a lot of information on the area. We would certainly warmly recommend this excellent address.

About the host

Hosted by Isabelle Riviere

Host profile image
I am English, despite my French name, Isabelle Riviere, and was brought up in Shropshire. I came to Italy more than 20 years ago when I met and married an English writer and university lecturer who was working here in Urbino. We have two daughters who are 14 and 10. Perhaps we all grow fond of our surroundings, who knows, or perhaps it is particularly lovely here, I'm not sure, but we have had a lot of fun in this house and feel very much at home in our neighbourhood.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house 18 years ago from an unusual and talented blacksmith who had made the iron windows, banisters and even built the porch. Over the years we have made our own improvements too and we adore our little house which is quite hidden down our lane. As the road finishes here, no cars pass except our local bee keeper who has dozens of hives nearby. His honey is certainly exceptional and I have come to exchange a pot or two for some of my jam every summer. I think I get the better deal!
I recently translated a book about the landscape backgrounds of some of Piero della Francesca's paintings and was very excited to learn that according to recent research the background to his Triumphs painting (now in the Uffizzi) was painted from a hill just across the river from here! The book described his journey from San Sepolcro to Urbino, which he may have done over the mountain roads instead of in the valley, in which case he would havve passed very close to my house!
When you buy a house, you don't know a million things abuit it, but over the years I have come to appreciate and respect the diverse skills and working methods of the people I have got to know here. There is a Sardinian family just across the way that owns hundreds of sheep and it is such a pleasure to see them grazing on the hill opposite guarded by two or three Maremmano sheep dogs. I took my daughters to see them being milked a few years ago. The milk is sold to make Caciotta di Urbino cheese which was a favourite of Michelangelo's!

What makes this property unique

I have tried to make the flat as pretty and comfortable as possible. I put in a wood burning stove last autumn that heats the whole flat and I hope that my winter guests find it as cosy as I do. Though not a natural or very willing gardener, I have come to appreciate the wonderful effects and atmosphere that can be created out of doors by careful planting. Every year I do a bit more!
