About this property

Stunning Town Villa, Breathtaking Views, Pretty Garden near Medieval Piazza

Casa Luna has been recently restored to a high standard with warm maple wood floors on top levels accessed by softly-lit travertine staircases and lies in a quiet pedesttian lane in the historic center of Amandola, a few minutes walk from the medieval piazza.
The villa retains original 19th century stenciled and domed ceiling, oak beams and an open fireplace in the living room that leads to a pretty patio with a fountain for al fresco dining and a tranquil garden with a palm tree, flowering jasmine, roses and fruit trees.
Set over 3 floors with 2 large and airy double bedrooms, a 3rd bedroom/study and 3 bathrooms, the bedrooms offer breathtaking views over rooftops and church spire, beautifully lit at night, to the changing vistas of the Sibillini mountains beyond, which offer walking and hiking on well marked paths suitable for all levels of fitness and other outdoor activities.
The middle floor has a relaxing living-dining room and galley kitchen leading directly onto the patio and garden, offering space to relax away from the bustle of main piazza with its historic café-bar, delicious gelateria, a convenient small supermarket with well stocked delicatessen, bakery, banks with ATMs and other small shops.
The sandy beaches of the Adriatic and, in winter, ski slopes, are less than an hour’s drive away, as are many pretty neighbouring medieval hill towns and villages with year-round festivals of food, wine, jazz, theatre, opera. Amandola is renowned for its truffles and every November a truffle festival is held in the main square with music and local produce.
The sandy beaches of the Adriatic coast are just 30-40 minutes away by car as is a freshwater lake with its own beach. In winter skiing is available in neighbouring Sarnano.
This area of Le Marche is truly an undiscovered gem with stunning scenery and a warm welcome by the local people.

Highly, highly recommended
We had the great privilege and pleasure of staying in Casa Luna for a couple of months. It is in a fabulous location in a small lane off the main piazza in Amandola. Within a three minute walk you can find: three bars/cafes (with three more if you stretch to a four minute walk!), two bread shops, a tabacchi, a small but very good supermarket, the weekly market, an excellent frozen fish shop, a great little trattoria serving fabulous pizza and local wines run by Andrea, a farmacia, a small filling station run by the smiling Mario, a superb rosticceria, two butchers and an opticians. Plus a very good Tourist Information office and a small cinema. In other words it is perfectly located if you want to embed yourself into the rhythms and rituals of a small town in the eastern Sibillini without getting into a car every time you fancy an espresso, gelato or spritz. The house itself is large and comfortable with three good sized bedrooms. Two overlook the attractive garden but one together with the master bedroom has a simply stunning view over the rooftops to Monti Amandola and the peaks beyond. It is the sort of view you never tire of seeing. We were (still are!) a couple but were joined by two adult daughters during our stay. The house is plenty big enough for four adults but, as the listing makes clear, the kitchen is small. It just means you need to be a little organised before taking your food directly onto the patio. This is a delightful area surrounded by pots of flowers. You can't take your car directly to the house but there are plenty of parking options nearby. Amandola is a good base for walking and exploring the Sibillini Mountains. The views from the peaks are superb and the flora and butterfly fauna are exceptional. We had a great time and met some very friendly and helpful neighbours and business owners. Christine herself is an excellent host who responds very promptly to any questions. Highly, highly recommended.

Tasteful, quiet but central in lovely Amandola
We love staying with Christine in her simple stylish home which is perfectly lócated just up a side street from the quaint central piazza in Amandola. The village is perfect if you want to explore Marche, go hiking or live an Italian village life with all that this implies. Will go back for sure and thank you to Christine for being such a lovely host.

Lovely villa in town
If you want to experience authentic Italy this is the place for you. Set in a small back street in centro storico Amandola, a stones throw from the piazza and local shops. The surrounding area is full of hill towns, beautiful scenery and places to eat local produce cooked, as far as I’m concerned, with love. Great value too. Comfortable house with garden to sit in. I highly recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Christine

Host profile image
After travelling the world as a writer and correspondent for more than twenty years I was looking for a place of beauty and peace in Italy, a country I know well, in which to rest and recuperate whenever possible. I stumbled on this beautiful corner of Le Marche by accident and, though I had spent years looking at properties to renovate in Tuscany and Umbria, was convinced almost immediately this was the place I wanted my Italian haven to be. The moment I walked up the stairs in this historic old house, long abandoned before I arrived, and saw the stunning views it offered, combined with its rare sense of peace, I was smitten. The process of renovation revealed some extraordinary surprises which I have written about in The Sunday Times. The link to this article can be sent on enquiry.

Why they chose this property

This area of Le Marche is quite unique with its combination of stunning views at every turn, easy access to country walks - both gentle and challenging - in the unspoilt surroundings of a national park, together with access to areas of great historical interest and and also the coast. I had not initially planned to buy a town house, but after winding my way along too many narrow country lanes and dirt tracks to reach country properties, especially at night, I realised it was the gentler pace of Italian life I wanted to savour and what better way to do that than in the heart of a small community. All the feedback I have had from past guests has mentioned how welcoming those in the area have been - helping where possible, if asked, yet respecting privacy in this unusually secluded house too.

What makes this property unique

The unique advantage of this property - appreciated and commented upon by all those who have stayed in the past - is the fact that you can stroll out of the house and down to the main square in a few minutes for a morning coffee and again in the evening for an meal or aperitivo without having to worry about getting in a car. There is also a secluded garden and terrace for outside dining. All the rooms in the house are unusually spacious, light and airy and the property has been furnished as a second home not as a rental property so is warm and welcoming and well equipped.

Please note -
“There is a new roof and renovations being put on a neighbours house at the end of my garden with scaffolding in place at the far end of my garden to accommodate this. The work is due to finish around Easter 2024 - to be confirmed.”
