Casa Roberta - 6 Bedroom (Sleeps 12) Farmhouse in Province Of Macerata

Description

Casa Roberta is a beautiful, recently restored, traditional farmhouse in a private setting on the south facing slope of a peaceful valley, surrounded by gardens and sitting among its own olive grove, mature oak trees and vineyard. Our guests uniformly say that photographs do not do the house justice - that they do not truly convey the atmosphere of the house and environs and do not do justice to the spectacular views of the Sibillini mountains or the stunning evening skies! (If you don't believe us - see the recurring comment in our guests' reviews!)

There is plenty of space for leisurely meals for 10 people on the covered terrace or in the shade of an adjacent overhanging mulberry tree. Wide steps lead down to the large sun terrace by the 12m x 6m pool with level lawn and another shade tree beyond. From the terrace, you can watch over the children in the pool and garden. The olive grove and vineyard nestle below the house, waiting to be explored, and another vine-covered sitting out area beckons come Aperitivo time!

Above all, Casa Roberta is spacious and light - benefits that are often lacking in old building conversions. Principal internal features include a very spacious ground floor with 2 lounge areas and a separate dining room, plus large practical kitchen, laundry/utility room with extra fridge, and a WC. A full size Table Football inside gives authentic Italian entertainment! Plus a DVD player and extensive DVD library for kids and adults.

On the first floor, you find a spacious landing leading to two large master bedrooms with equally large ensuite bathrooms (bath, walk in shower, basin, wc and bidet) plus a twin room also with its own ensuite shower room.

Finally, on the top floor, two generous king-size rooms - separated by a library landing for privacy - share a shower room.

With all the ground floor entertaining rooms and outdoor areas, there is comfortably space for 10-12 without feeling crowded - everyone can find their own space.

This 200+ year old former farmhouse enjoys a perfect, serene location - disturbed only by birdsong and the occasional tinkling of goat bells. Yet, stunning medieval hilltop villages, world-class restaurants and vineyards, roman ruins and a local town with all amenities and fantastic boutiques are all only a 15 minute drive away - not forgetting the magnificent basilica in Tolentino. Within 30mins drive are Macerata and San Severino - each with magnificent piazzas, bars, restaurants, independent boutiques and, in Macerata, a stunning open-air opera house.

Day trip destinations include the Unesco-listed city of Urbino, the hidden travertine gem that is Ascoli Piceno, the stunning Basilica of Loreto (site of the Virgin Mary's relocated home), Assisi, Gubbio, Maranello (the home of Ferrari), beautiful Spoleto, Spello and even Orvieto (for those who don't mind a long day). If you want to dip your toes in the Italian beach experience, there are plenty of Adriatic beaches, with seafood restaurants, less than 1 hour away.

On hot days, the cooler meadows and lake Fiastra beckon in the mountains.

We could go on... but you get the idea!

Oh - and did we mention the views??
