Description
A stunning 6 bedroom retreat with an oversized swimming pool, a large games room which has a full sized professional Snooker Table, plus other entertainment and BBQ area. A very special holiday accommodation and location. Once a working farmhouse. The Italian tradition is that the family live on the first floor. The centre of the home is the kitchen and dining area, for the whole family to greet and eat and discuss everything
Oxon lived on the ground floor and were used for ploughing.
The other areas were for the wine and tomato pressing, storage for olive oil, olives, wine, bottled tomato products and preserves.
We love the position of the villa, half way between the mountains and sea, close to shops, restaurants, and yet so peaceful in the countryside.
The villa was renovated in 2004/5 by the present owners, and is much loved by the family, friends and guests.
THE REGION....Marche.
Known as Italy’s Secret, is also called The Heart of Italy.
From the Apennine Mountains to the Adriatic Sea, the views are breath taking .
Surrounding the villa are rolling hills of wheat, alfalfa, sunflowers, olive trees and grapes, with Medieval villages and towns perched high.
Marche has a thriving food and wine culture. The quality of fresh local meat, salume, fish, fruit and vegetables is unrivalled. The restaurants serve well priced traditional local food.
Both local red and white wine are of D.O.C quality, and there are many wineries you can visit. Contacts for this at the villa.
The beach in Senigallia has the finest sand in Europe and is safe for children, with amenities for them and adults at a small cost.
