Here is a sample review from a guest who stayed for one week in the summer of 2018, as part of the family who booked the villa:
'Ciao Brian
We have had an absolutely amazing holiday, at Villa Casciano.
The house was perfectly suited for 2-3 families. The rooms were spacious and bright with beautiful views of the garden, pool and landscape.
The large new kitchen was great, equipped with all the things we needed. We loved the pool, the way it was perfect for both children as well as adults; we used it all the time. The villa is situated perfectly, close to supermarkets and restaurants. We loved the fact that it felt like we were the only tourists in the area. Furthermore Andy was very helpful regarding any questions we had.
Best regards, Jane and family'.

Leave ReviewFantastic villa in Le Marche
By Chris Ritchie on 01-Jul-2025Villa Casciano is a superb property, expertly designed and maintained (a big well done to Brian for the restoration and to Andy, the friendly property manager!). We loved the house itself which perfectly suited our party of 11 guests. There are lots of lovely places to sit around the house but the heart is the huge kitchen and dining area (which includes yet another sitting area) which made meal preparation so much more pleasant than the usual quite small facilities which we have found in the past with other villas (even otherwise large ones). We also loved having the stunning pool area just beside the house (no toddlers to be concerned about in our party as they have all grown up!) which made it easy to go in and out for books, sunglasses etc (all the things you forget to bring and then have to trek back for if the pool is more distant). The views from the pool and around the villa were endlessly rewarding (again, plenty of sitting areas in the large garden area surrounding). The nearby village of Petriolo is a little gem and we particularly enjoyed the Bar Centrale which never seems to close so that you can enjoy an early morning cappucino and also a late night drink or gelato from its panoramic terrace. Just a little further away is Mogliano, which also has a useful kiosk from which you can fill up water bottles with spring water (either still or gassata). Further afield, we got to Macerata, Loreto, San Severino, Ascoli, even Castellucio and Lago di Fiastra. Excellent!
A wonderful house, a little corner of paradise.
By Federica Minotti on 27-Jun-2025A wonderful house, a little corner of paradise. Well-kept house and welcome with a wonderful garden. The view satisfies the eyes and the night the fireflies keep you company. Highly recommended

Spacious and stylish house with stunning views
By Ellen van der Schoot on 28-Sep-2024We had an amazing stay at this beautiful vacation home. The house is incredibly spacious and stylishly decorated. The kitchen, with its large dining table, was one of our favorite spots—perfect for making and enjoying meals together. The outdoor area is vast and offers breathtaking views as well, providing a great space to relax. The chef dinner prepared and served at house by Lucca and Sylvia is a great recommendation. The location of the house is ideal for those looking to explore the region. It’s strategically situated for easy access to both the coast and the mountains, making day trips effortless. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located home away from home!
Fantastic View and Pool
By Annette Wood on 30-Aug-2024We had a lovely stay at the villa. We especially enjoyed the pool and it felt like a real luxury to be able to swim long lengths! The view was gorgeous and the setting was very peaceful and totally relaxing. The bathrooms were nicely cleaned as was the bedding. The kitchen dining area is a lovely open space and the other living areas are also comfortable. Overall a wonderful place to stay. Also Andy (manager locally) was very helpful and informative.
Owner response on 13-Sep-2024
Thank you for your kind review Annette. I am pleased that you and your guests enjoyed the house and its location. Best wishes, Brian
We had a great stay!
By Timo on 07-Aug-2024We had a very great stay! The house was super suitable for 10 people with 2 small children (more would have been possible too) and a paradise for us through the garden. Since the house is not air-conditioned, it is partly not cool in the bedrooms at night, but there are fans in every room. The pool is a real dream. Above all, the communication and helpfulness of Brian's local employee Andy was terrific - he gave us a lot of tips and helped us with everything immediately.
