Once the residence of a local noble lineage, this renovated country home provides a tranquil base for families and large groups. You'll find it nestled in verdant hillslopes, boasting five acres of lush landscaped gardens and panoramic views of the medieval town of Valfabbrica. Here, the famous Sentiero di San Francesco hiking trail is practically on your doorstep, while the beautiful towns of Perugia and Assisi are less than a thirty-minute drive away.

At first glance, this home charms with its rustic stone facade. Inside, it's all exposed beam ceilings, terracotta tiled floors and traditional furnishings. We especially love the country kitchen, fully equipped for home cooking and seamlessly connected to the lounge and dining room through wide, sweeping archways. After a restful slumber in the spacious sleeping quarters, fire up the Moka pot and enjoy espressos on the patio. 

Outside, expansive gardens offer ample space for relaxing in the sun. Spend your days catnapping on a sun lounger or tucking into a picnic amidst the foliage. On balmy evenings, gather for alfresco feasts on the wood-fired oven and masonry barbecue before curling up in the cosy lounge by the warm glow of the fireplace.

Sit out on the balcony of this home and enjoy the view over the Umbrian Valley. The lush, green countryside is echoed in the home’s 3.5-hectare garden, where you’ll find an olive grove with 700 trees, alongside manicured lawns and terracotta terraces nearer the home. Breathe in the scent of oleander flowers and fig, plum and fruit trees as you make your way to the pergola framed by trailing plants – the perfect spot for an alfresco lunch cooked on the traditional wood oven. You’re likely to spend much of your time laying back on the sunbeds or swimming in the pool, but in the evenings, the glass gazebo is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of local wine. Inside, as well as the main kitchen and grand living space, you’ll find a separate kitchen, sitting room and two bedrooms on the lower floor, making this a great space for two families or groups of friends.The historic town of Foligno is just 5km away, with Perugia a 40-minute drive and Siena only a little further in the distance.

The wooden beams add a rustic vibe, combined with the minimalistic yet colourful designs throughout the home.

Head out to explore more of Assisi and tuck into some authentic Italian meals – maybe with a lush glass of red if that tickles your fancy. Get your feet moving at the Via di Francesco hiking area – we absolutely love the view that you get from this spot. 

Return home to relax on the terrace to watch the sunset behind the flurry of trees, with a novel on your lap. Avid readers will thrive at this home, and may even find some hidden gems on the bookshelf. 


Library in the Trees

Ping Pong Table

Strolling through the two acres of land surrounding this complex of three 18th-century villas, it’s easy to see why this place has hosted many a rustic Italian wedding. A private chapel, terraces and patios galore for pre-reception drinks, and a vaulted dining hall as long as a tunnel that can be draped with fairy lights to host a lavish affair. Even if no one’s tying the knot, a large group can spread out by the poolside, in a medley of grand and modern lounges, or simply wander between the fruit trees and forestry of the grounds. Location-wise, you’re in the heart of Italy’s Le Marche region, famed for medieval hilltop towns and stretch of sandy beaches along the Adriatic.

Single-Level Home

Sustainability’s the name of the game here at this country villa in the heart of Le Marche, a stylish, split-level property which was recently renovated with zero environmental impact. Step inside and feel instantly at home thanks to the rustic, wooden furniture and tile floors that look like they’ve been plucked straight from the pages of an Italian fairy-tale. Then, when you think it can’t get any better than the open-plan living area, head upstairs to the well-appointed mezzanine and while away the afternoon in your private reading nook. It doesn’t get much better than that. 

Of course, it wouldn’t be an Italian getaway without a spot of sunbathing and this home has got plenty of outdoor space for fulfilling that very purpose. Slip into your swimming costume and go for a dip in the private pool, fire up the grill and dine alfresco on your favourite Italian dishes, or simply sit back and relax, letting the glorious ocean vistas wash over you as you sip a glass of the region’s best wine. Saluti.

And with a private swimming pool, extensive gardens and patio terrace to call your own here, you'll find plenty of places to soak it all up. Inside, the home epitomises the quintessential Italian countryside, so while the interiors feel a little dated in parts, the home is filled with charm. Beyond the house, you'll need a car to explore the local area, or we suggest renting bicycles during the warmer months.

A short drive from the medieval village of Arcevia, this historic country house offers a peaceful retreat in the gentle hills of Le Marche. Set across six self-contained apartments, it’s well suited to larger groups or families travelling together, with plenty of privacy when needed. The interiors lean rustic – think exposed beams, stone walls and sturdy wooden furniture, offering plenty of Italian charm. Outside, there’s a pool, two hot tubs and various garden spots for al fresco dining or sunset aperitifs. You’re also within easy reach of walking trails, castles and local wineries – making it a sublime setting for exploring.

A Rustic Vision

There’s something truly unique about this home, lost in the midst of Umbria’s stunning countryside – first of all, it’s more than a home. The main building is a historic tower, which gives you the sense of staying in your own fairytale castle. With three additional buildings as part of the property, everyone in your party is sure to find their own private slice of tranquil paradise. 

Set in the middle of a lush, twelve-acre parkland and boasting sweeping views over the surrounding hills, this is one dream country escape – add to it the glistening swimming pool and the rooftop terrace with its unparalleled vistas and we think you’ll fall under the spell of this home just as we have. 

Inside, you’ll find all the rooms emanating exactly the kind of warmth and cosiness you’d expect from a rural Italian abode – from the warm fireplace in the main tower to all the snug bedrooms and charming nooks, there’s more than ample space for everyone to have a relaxing holiday. 
Organise delicious communal meals, with a choice of outdoor and indoor dining areas, and gather for evenings of drinks in the garden, just as the sun begins to set over the hills. 

When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find plenty of interesting sights to visit, including the nearby town of Spoleto, full of history and culture. 

My Enchanted Tower 

This is a charming country house located on top of a hill surrounded by trees and fields. It's situated in a traffic-calmed area, 3 km from the centre of Collecorvino, offering a peaceful and quiet retreat. The house has a large shared garden with a barbecue for guests to enjoy. The upper ground floor features a large kitchen, 3 double bedrooms each with its own shower/bidet/WC, and an exit to the veranda with one french bed and two double beds. There's also a large terrace of 30 m2 with terrace furniture, balcony furniture, and 4 deck chairs providing guests with beautiful panoramic views of the valley. The property is conveniently located near several towns and cities such as Città S.Angelo and Pescara, which are only 10 km and 15 km away respectively. The sea is just a short distance of 10 km while skiing areas are approximately 40 km away. Please note that the owner lives in the same residence, has a dog, and does not accept any youth groups.

Casa di Capitano

This 17th-century farmhouse is situated in the peaceful Marche countryside, just 70 kilometres from the sea and close to the villages of San Severino Marche and Torre del Parco. Offering plenty of space across the main house, plus a separate annexe that sleeps up to four guests, you'll have access to two kitchens and living areas here. Best of all, however, is the garden set-up featuring a swimming pool overlooking the landscape with a sun terrace and a jacuzzi hot tub. Although the home's traditional elements may not be to everyone's taste, modern furnishings present a comfortable space where guests can relax after days out discovering the Province of Macerata and surrounding areas.



Casa Cittadella

Fancy a sleepy stay in Italy's greenest region? Look no further than this pet-friendly home on the outskirts of little Crispiero. This villa revolves around outdoor living, offering a lovely garden with an alfresco dining area and countryside views. While the seasonal pool is a highlight for summer holidays, the working fireplace is a cosy indoor bonus for the colder months. A forty-five-minute drive from the seaside, it's best suited to nature lovers seeking a way to escape tourist destinations. Factor in the option for add-on services like private chefs, cooking classes, and Italian excursions and it's no wonder it caught our eye.

Hidden in the lush greenery of the Colfiorito plateau, this elegant villa lies in a small village between the Italian regions of Umbria and Marche. Fill that need for luxury and solitude, and surround yourself with the breathtaking vistas of the Italian countryside. The historic Art Nouveau style sets this villa apart, and its roots in the local area are apparent from the village chapel attached to the back of the home. Enjoy your own infinity pool, with plenty of space on the terrace and across the vast gardens for alfresco dining, and an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a plunge in the pool. With bedrooms sorted into suites with some boasting their own bathrooms and living rooms, everyone will have more than enough room to stretch their legs. There is even a cinema room with a projector and a basement playroom for children. Go for a game of ping pong under the lush canopies of the trees, or let the kids play in the gardens while you catch some rays on the row of sun loungers. The spa room is accessible for a fee, too. 

When it comes to exploring the local area, you're in for a treat – you'll already be immersed in the surrounding village, and you'll be just a short drive from the main shopping centre where you'll find some fantastic local restaurants and bars, as well as a supermarket for all the essentials you might need during your stay. A little further afield you'll be able to get on the highway and take a day trip to some of the culture-rich cities of the regions of Umbria and Marche.

Sun-Kissed Green Heart

Welcome Hamper

Even though this charming villa sits out in the Umbrian countryside, you can see the medieval fortress of Asissi from the terrace. The winding streets packed with cafés, restaurants and ancient sights are just a five-minute drive away, yet your secluded abode is surrounded by fields and hills for peace and quiet. Plus, there's a traditional osteria serving Umbrian cuisine on the edge of the forest, just 1km from the villa – four bicycles are provided to get around. 

Within the grounds, you’ve got a sparkling swimming pool on the hillside, overlooking the valley below. While away the days floating on the lilo and drying off on the comfy, beanbag-style loungers. To the side of the house, you’ll find a wooden pergola with greenery creeping up the woodwork where alfresco dining comes courtesy of a wood-fired oven. 

Alternatively, you could opt to cook meals in the sleek, modern kitchen inside and dine in the open-plan living area, surrounded by modern artworks. Bold, textured paintings sit on gallery-white walls and striking sculptures populate the corners of rooms. Perhaps the greatest image, though, is the view of hilltop Asissi from the sliding glass doors in the plush living room. 

Saint Francis

Free Parking

This home is just majestic as its stunning countryside surroundings. It's ideally located in a peaceful spot, nestled among the rolling hills of Umbria, just a short drive from the fascinating medieval town of Bevagna. Surrounding the villa sits groves of olive trees and lush green vineyards, with Mount Subasio creating a heavenly backdrop to the idyllic countryside views. These are best enjoyed with a cocktail in hand while relaxing by the infinity pool, or while dining at sunset on the covered terrace. The interiors are just as elegant, with traditional touches together with modern luxuries, such as the private massage room.

The Olive Courtyard

Resort Access

Right in the heart of the Le Marche region, this villa has overlooked vineyards, farmland and rolling hills for over 250 years. While its exterior has retained its rustic charm, inside you’ll find a minimalist interior that makes it a perfect spot for mental decluttering. Being spread over two apartments, with one bedroom in the lower apartment and the rest upstairs, here one couple can enjoy privacy before joining the rest of the group for aperitifs and homemade pizza by the pool.

For those looking for local flavour, you’re just a five-minute drive from the nearest villages, which provide an opportunity to sip on an espresso before grabbing ice cream at a gelateria or a traditional Le Marche dish. Just a little further out will bring you to the beautiful beaches of Civitanova Marche, where you can take a refreshing dip in the Adriatic Sea.

The Poet's Retreat

This peaceful villa boasts a sprawling garden with plenty of outside living areas nestled in the Umbrian countryside. Take in views of the mountains while relaxing on sun loungers around the private pool. It's a perfect fit for those after a rural retreat. There's also a table tennis table, barbecue, and sauna (fees apply), making it well-suited for larger groups looking to relax at home. Meanwhile, we recommend having a car due to the remote location. From here, you can reach plenty of golf courses and charming villages by bicycle. Your host even provides four bikes for your own adventures and excursions.

The Lady's Retreat

EV Charger

Situated in the Sibillini Mountains National Park, this old watchtower offers stunning views of the surrounding valley. Now home to two apartments, it’s perfect for those looking to holiday together yet still enjoy some privacy. Indoors, the home shows off its history and is utterly charming, while outdoors is simply beautiful. With a private swimming pool, hot tub, and selection of both shaded and sun-kissed terraces, it’s the ideal place to take in the views – our favourite spot is the amphitheatre, perfect for evening sunsets. And for those who love hiking, you’ll find yourself at the centre of a system of paths and nature trails with walkways, viewpoints and splendid mountain vistas.

All in Good Time

Immersed in the natural beauty of Umbria, this home invites you to slow down and savour the best of Italian living. From lazy days lounging by the pool to blissful evenings watching the sunset from the terrace, this is the perfect setting for a special gathering. The rooms are equally impressive with multiple living areas, a games room, two Jacuzzi tubs and four peaceful bedrooms – all of which come with an en-suite bathroom. Your host is on hand to help organise sweet extras like private chefs and massage treatments. And when it comes to explorations further afield, it’s just a short drive to Assisi. 


Peaceful Promise

Only forty-five minutes away from the ancient city of Rome, this tranquil, wild location feels like a million miles away. This home is secluded, in beautiful lush countryside and surrounded by olive, persimmon and pomegranate trees. You can soak in the picture-perfect views from the private swimming pool, the dining room, or even from the bedroom. The flexible sleeping options (double rooms to twin rooms, plus optional sofa beds in the shared open space) make it a great home for family holidays. It’s also the perfect place to explore the Umbrian and Tuscan countryside with olive groves, vineyards and medieval castles waiting to be discovered. 

Sample delectable local delicacies from the restaurants and tavernas of nearby villages, as well as some of the best wine the region has to offer, and pick up cute little souvenirs to take home as a memento of a truly unforgettable holiday. Turano Lake is a scenic twenty-minute drive from home and offers guests the chance really reconnect with nature with outdoor activities such as fishing, canoeing and hiking. And of course, the Eternal City of Rome can be reached in a forty-five-minute drive from the villa, and promises days full of sightseeing, sumptuous dining, and shopping extravaganzas.



Pomegranate & Persimmon

Tennis Court

This home sits in the idyllic region of Le Marche, just a short drive away from the beaches of the east coast. It's tucked away in the peaceful acres of a grand estate, and provides breathtaking views of the rolling hills and lush woodland surrounding you as well as the ocean in the distance.

Those who love the luxurious lifestyle will feel right at home, as this dwelling has its own private pool with a hot tub feature for swimming and soaking, as well as a tennis court and gym to get the blood pumping. You'll also have access to a shared yoga space where you can do your practice in serene surroundings. The gardens are particularly lovely – there's a covered terrace where you can lounge when the heat turns up, as well as plenty of sunloungers so you can top up your tan. There's even an outdoor kitchen here with a barbecue and pizza oven, so you can live life alfresco.

Inside, the home is elegant and harmonious, with a neutral colour scheme that runs throughout. We love the country-style kitchen where you can cook up Italian pasta feasts for friends and family, and the dining area provides a lovely place to tuck in all together.

Lovers of the great outdoors can take their pick of adventures in the surrounding countryside. You can go rafting, canoeing, or kayaking in the Nera River – or if you'd prefer to stay on dry land then there are plenty of hiking and cycling trails through the epic landscapes.

Grapes on the Vine

Set in a bright garden, bordered by vineyards and fruit trees, this elegant country house is the perfect base for a holiday in Italy's Marche region. Built towards the end of 1800 but boasting all modern comforts, it has a relaxed, homely interior with exposed brick walls, large windows and a beautiful open kitchen. The real star here though is the view. Sit in the shade of the ancient oak tree or on the loggia's comfy sofas and look out at the hilltops and verdant valleys that stretch out before you. The pool is pretty special too, with a teak deck and wide roman steps that are perfect for keeping cool while sunbathing. The hot tub, meanwhile, is the perfect place to retreat with a glass of wine while you watch the sunset over the hills. If you fancy a day by the sea, the Adriatic coast is less than twenty minutes away by car and you’re also five minutes from the beautiful medieval town of Offida – a great place to stock up on goodies for your alfresco barbecue feasts. 

Brown Sugar

Dating back to the 18th century, this historic villa is perched in the hills of Le Marche. Surrounded by sweeping Italian countryside and sitting within 3 hectares of private land, this home is ideal for those wanting a real escape. There’s a swimming pool and tennis court outside, as well as a covered barbecue area. Inside, you can look forward to beautiful, grand spaces, with comfortable bedrooms and lots of room to gather together. There’s even a consecrated chapel on the grounds, making this villa an excellent choice for events. 

The Italian Villa

XBox

Games Console

Rustic and romantic, this home in the heart of the Marche countryside is a true escape from the hustle and bustle. Traditional stone walls, beamed ceilings and tile flooring add plenty of warmth and character, while the modern kitchen and white furniture bring this home to the twenty-first century. But the real draw here is the sunny garden. Alongside the pool, there's a charming portico that serves as a second living space. While away your days swimming, sunbathing on the chairs and lounging on the L-shaped sofa. When you want a break from the sun, close the curtains and transform the patio into a shady haven. The wood-burning barbecue grill doubles as a fire pit on chilly evenings – after a delicious meal enjoyed at the outdoor table, watch the sunset over the hills with a glass of wine. This region is rich in history, brimming with charming villages and hamlets. Visit the restaurants and shops in nearby Monte Urano or drive fifteen minutes to the seaside.

As The Day Is Long

Exercise Equipment

Beach Essentials

Located in the Le Marche countryside, this traditional stone house provides a good base to explore the Italian countryside from. With every bedroom being an en-suite, it’s great for sharing with your loved ones, while still maintaining your privacy. Though the house feels a little dated in parts, there’s plenty here to keep you entertained. Outside, the home boast a large garden, a couple of terraces to enjoy alfresco meals on, as well as a private swimming pool with sun loungers. You’ll find the nearest shops and restaurants in the town of Montelparo and several sandy beaches are also within easy reach. 

Flowers & Pastels

As is typical with homes in Marche, this stunning villa is the perfect blend of old-fashioned charm and modern convenience. Inside, you’ll find terracotta floors and exposed beamed ceilings alongside luxurious vintage furniture and curated art. When in the Italian countryside though, outside is always better. Spend a morning by the private pool before heading to the nearby multi-purpose games area where you can play tennis, volleyball or 5-a-side football. When you’ve worked up an appetite, sit under the jasmine and vine-covered pergola and have some lunch. Later, take a walk through the gardens and help yourself from the fruit trees. End the evening with a cocktail as stars fill the sky. Fashion lovers, take note, you’ll be in a shopping haven here – right near the factory outlets of several manufacturers who make shoes for some of the industry's biggest names.

Fashion Country

A seven-minute drive from two of the Adriatic coast’s glorious beaches, this Italian country villa sits in a blissfully quiet location. You’re overlooking rolling vineyards here, verdant green in summer and burnt orange and sunshine yellow in autumn. The perfect shores of Marcelli Beach and Numama Beach are each a seven-minute drive away, where loungers line the sand and the sea is crystal clear.

Back at the villa, you’ve got a shared swimming pool should you fancy a cooling dip in summer. Open up the double doors in the living room to the private brick patio, or the shaded veranda on the other side of the house. Inside, you’ve got the staples of Italian rusticana keeping things on theme; wooden ceilings and thick exposed stone walls. The kitchen is decidedly sleek and modern, and there are pops of character courtesy of gilded mirrors and Chinese dressers. 

Vine Leaves on the Horizon

Nestled between the valleys and fields of central Italy, this luxury, eco-conscious country house provides the perfect base for a rural getaway. What was once an abandoned farmhouse has been sensitively restored to reflect the bountiful Marche countryside, honouring its traditional characteristics while adding a flair of modernity. Inside, terracotta tiles and wooden beamed ceilings blend harmoniously with chic, minimalist furniture and a modern, farmhouse-style kitchen. 

The interior is beautiful, but we imagine you’ll be spending most of your time making the most of the outdoors. Especially when considering the outdoor kitchen, fully equipped for trying your hand at local dishes. Spend days lounging by the saltwater pool, taking a dip to cool off, while soaking in the rural surroundings. And spend evenings beneath the pergola, white curtains gently swaying in the wind, tucking into a fresh barbecue dinner around the dining table. After nights of tipsy piano playing and a few games of pool, you’ll love sinking into your cosy beds, already looking forward to waking up to the verdant, rolling views that both bedrooms are met with. 

If you never wanted to leave this slice of countryside heaven, we’d get it. But this corner of Italy is one of the last areas that isn’t yet on the tourist trail, so you can explore the region of Marche and its beaches, walled cities, and archaeological sites with ease. 

Memories from Marche

Parking On Premises

There are few things better in life than an infinity pool, but an infinity pool with a gorgeous view is definitely among them. This home in the heart of Umbria treats paddlers to a verdant panorama of rolling countryside and distant hilltops.

It's a truly rustic scene and you'll be glad to hear that the home itself slots nicely into the landscape. Traditional in style, you'll find high-ceilinged rooms filled with elegant wooden furnishings, antique decorations and floor tiling so shiny you can almost see your reflection in it. However, it's more modern where it matters, particularly the super-sleek bathrooms and equally glossy kitchens.

If you pay a visit during the warmer months, you'll most likely want to spend as many hours out in the open air as possible and that's more than easy to do here. As well as the aforementioned pool, guests also have a large garden at their disposal, plus a barbecue and alfresco table for when dinnertime rolls around.

There are plenty of attractions in the local area, too. Bevagna is only a kilometre away and its quaint streets are lovely to wander before stopping for dinner and digestifs in one of the restaurants. You don't have to travel much further to find more Umbrian gems either, from Assisi 25 kilometres away to Perugia only 44 kilometres away.

Deepest Desire

On Italy’s verdant Adriatic coast, this villa is set in the quiet countryside, a short drive from crystalline beaches. There are a handful of beaches to choose from; it’s a seven-minute drive to the long stretch of sand at Marcelli, or perhaps the craggy coves of Numana are more your style, also a seven-minute drive.

The villa itself sits in a small, private complex, with the use of a shared swimming pool for hot days and a private patio and shaded veranda. Inside, you’ve got the classic wooden ceilings of Italian farmhouses and a brick-style floor reminiscent of rustic country villas. A cosy wood-burner awaits in the living room for cooler evenings and bedrooms come with pretty countryside views out the window. 

Five Leaves Left

Set in the countryside, just outside the charming village of Carassai, this peach-coloured casa offers an idyllic retreat with jaw-dropping valley views towards the Adriatic in one direction and the Sibillini Mountains in the other.

Its interior strikes just the right balance between rustic charm and modern convenience. Think exposed beam ceilings, terracotta floors and antique furniture sitting alongside stainless steel appliances and comfortable sofas that are a pleasure to sink into. Upstairs, you'll find three relaxing bedrooms, though the main room is the star of the show, with direct access to a private balcony that takes the vistas to a whole new level. 

Time here is all about emptying your schedule and the sweet joy of doing as little as possible by the pool. However, should you find yourself wanting to explore further afield, the golden beaches of the Adriatic coast are well worth your time. Sirolo, San Benedetto Del Tronto, and Grottammare are particular standouts – as are the beautiful historic hilltop towns of Fermo and Offida and the Romanesque churches of Ascoli Piceno.

Peach Palace

This beautiful home can be found on the Italian coast in a municipality of Ancona known as Sirolo. Whilst small – there are under four-thousand inhabitants – it has been continually praised, and it’s not surprising to see why once you visit. Paying homage to its rich history, it features a restored mediaeval town centre dotted with attractive restaurants and bars that you’ll probably end up frequenting. Once you’ve had lunch with a negroni cocktail, walk to any one of the many beaches to dip your toes into the Adriatic sea. 

Grab tiramisu on your way back home and settle around the dining table to devour it together – don’t forget to make a round of espresso to enjoy afterwards. When you’re done gushing about just how good that was, why not clear the table for a round or two of poker – loser gets the pizza for dinner. As the day winds down, settle into the couch with a good book and simply appreciate the natural warmth of the wooden rafters and exposed brick.

In the Rafters

From the peaks of Majella and Gran Sasso to the dazzling Adriatic Sea, the panoramas from this hilltop hideaway stretch far and wide. The location is spot-on for coastal adventures – you're just 3 kilometres from Silvi Marina's beach and 20 kilometres from Pescara.

But with a birds-eye view of Abruzzo's rolling landscape from the garden, it'll be hard to tear yourself away. Whether you're sipping espresso in the morning breeze, splashing away afternoons in the pool or dining alfresco as the evening sun sinks below the horizon, you'll relish every glimpse of that scenery. We know we would.

Inside is a lovely mishmash of styles – think antiques, Palladian-inspired architecture and gleaming marble floors. Snuggle up around the fireplace for a post-sightseeing snooze, hunker down in the study when you need to work from home or just spread out in the comfortable living area with a glass of wine and plan tomorrow's activities.

Adriatic Oleander

Painted in a cheery bright yellow, we think this villa in the Ancona region will have you smiling before you’ve even unloaded the car. Lovingly restored, the house has been renovated in a traditional style that pays homage to its humble start as a farmhouse while showcasing the many great attributes it now holds. Spread over three floors, the home also has two separate apartments - one with a double bedroom and living space on the ground floor which can be accessed from both the main building and the dining terrace, and a small second apartment on the top floor with a sofa, two beds and a kitchenette. As vibrantly decorated inside as it is outside, there’s a rustic, cosy feel to this home that we just love with its antique furniture, bright washes of colour on the walls and exposed ceiling beams that create a warm atmosphere to feel right at home in. But it’s the outside where this sunny villa really shines - with several hundred square metres of land surrounding the villa, you’re treated to not only a beautiful, uninterrupted view of Le Marche countryside but also to a well-cared for, mature garden that features lavender, lilac, pink hydrangeas, oleander, roses, and fruit trees of all kinds. Needless to say, there’s plenty of space to spread out here as well as all sorts of peaceful spots to take a nap, read a book or enjoy an evening aperitivo. And the pool not only boasts some of the best views on the grounds but is large enough to host a whole family of novelty inflatables and is surrounded by a generous number of sun loungers so no one has to wait their turn to top of their tan.
