Near Colmurano, Marche, Italy

Beautiful country villa, sleeping up to 8 guests, with swimming pool (10x5m)

Casa Giardiniere is a former schoolhouse and is set in the pretty rolling hills of Macerata province with lovely valley views.

This villa is uniquely placed within easy striking distance of the two extremes, the mountains and the sea. Opportunities abound to enjoy the beautiful beaches of the Adriatic or for the nature-lovers, hiking, mountain-biking and horse riding in the nearby Sibillini National Park.

For those with cultural interests, there are numerous picturesque hilltop villages within close proximity where one can while away the hours wandering the narrow streets or visiting the many churches and museums.

A number of significant works of art are located in the region such as the magnificent Crivelli Madonna and Child in Monte San Martino.

Those with culinary interests will delight in the many inexpensive local restaurants. These provide a welcoming atmosphere and use fresh often home grown produce to produce delicious local dishes. A list of recommended restaurants is provided in the house book.

Le Marche also caters for the wine buffs with the wine producing regions of Matelica, Jesi and Mount Conero all within an hour’s drive of the house. Here one can enjoy tasting the white verdicchios and the full flavoured reds crafted from montepulciano and sangiovese grapes.

Also try the house wines in the local restaurants – you will surely be pleasantly surprised!The previously mentioned house book not only provides useful housekeeping information for people renting Casa Giardiniere but also gives suggestions regarding possible excursions, both nearby and further afield, along with a list of the owners’ favourite restaurants.

The main house sleeps six. On the groundfloor there is more than one entrance to Casa Giardiniere although the most commonly used one is adjacent to the car park. This leads into the living room with fireplace (imported from Australia!) and inviting Italian designed leather couches, together with an entertainment unit containing a flat screen television with satellite service, DVD and Bluetooth soundbar system.

A library of recent and favourite dvd movies and music cds is constantly updated by the owners. Free WiFi is also provided. Adjacent is the spacious kitchen/dining area, complete with a magnificent granite and wooden island bench containing cook top, large oven, dishwasher and microwave together with sufficient crockery, cutlery, glassware etc to entertain on a grand scale.

The impressive chestnut dining table was designed and made by a local artisan (along with the beds, built-in wardrobes, and other furniture) and can extend to seat 12. Also on the ground floor is a bathroom and separate laundry, the latter fully equipped with washing machine, dryer, iron, vacuum and laundry tub.

Leading off the stunning atrium foyer on the first floor is the spacious main bedroom with soaring ceiling and imposing beams was actually a former schoolhouse. It now houses a magnificent hand-made king size bed, another comfortable Italian couch and beautiful wooden built-in wardrobes.

Adjacent is the en suite bathroom of similarly generous proportions, with a large shower, full bath and double basins. The second and third bedrooms each contain two single beds which can be combined to use as a double bed, depending on requirements, bedside tables and a chair and small table. There is a full bathroom adjacent with shower and bath.

Each of the bedrooms provides glorious views over the picturesque countryside.

The adjacent casetta, formerly stables, has been set up so that it may be used completely independently if required.

The living area has a matrimonial size bed with bedside tables, a comfortable Italian leather sofa, a small dining table and two chairs and a large wardrobe with drawers and generous hanging space.

Leading off from the bedroom/living area is a small, self-contained kitchen, complete with small cook top, refrigerator and its own washing machine. There is also a separate bathroom with shower, toilet and vanity.

Outside beautifully designed and maintained gardens lead down from the entrance gates, past the house and pool to the hedged surroundings. There is a sunny terrace on the south side and at the rear of the house is a spacious loggia (covered terrace) from which the view across the valley to the towers of Regnano and Paterno is simply stunning.

Eating outdoors in either location is a delightful experience, with glorious vistas wherever one looks. Large outdoor dining tables and seating have been provided to enable this al fresco dining. When one hears the bells chiming in the distance from the little church towers positioned on the other side of the valley, it is a truly memorable experience.

The grounds include a pizza oven and barbecue by the pool. Wild and planted flowers, fragrant hedges, a herb garden and a young orchard make this garden a delight, alongside the silver-leaved branches of numerous olive trees planted metres from the garden in the valley below.

The classically shaped pool is meticulously maintained, and solid teak sun loungers, deck chairs, umbrellas and a solar heated shower are all provided, giving the place the air of a luxury resort – albeit an extremely peaceful one.
