Perched on a hilltop in the rolling Marche countryside, this villa delivers the kind of view that makes you want to stay outside all day – and the pool terrace gives you every reason to do exactly that. A covered brick pergola with a wood-burning oven is set up for long alfresco dinners, while a shaded vine pergola at the rear offers a quieter retreat. The medieval village of Ripe di San Ginesio is just 2km away, and the dramatic peaks of Monti Sibillini National Park are roughly twenty minutes from San Ginesio – so the hills you're gazing at from the pool are also very much worth exploring.
