The ideal place for a family reunion and holiday
Review Submitted: July 30, 2011
Date of Stay: July 2011
The villa has everything you could wish for when it comes to comfort, relaxation - and beauty. The view of the surrounding hills is stunning.
All of us, including eight-week-old Molly, enjoyed every second of our stay. Although we were seven grown-ups there was space enough for everybody, thanks to the house being so big and well planned.
Some of us started our day with a brisk early-morning walk up the steep hill to the village and the road out towards Poggio San Marcello. Before going back we took turns to visit the local baker’s, Il piccolo forno, and purchase our daily bread.
After a swim in the lovely pool – it is 15 metres long and allows you to stretch out in good strokes – and a long breakfast out in the pergola we spent a few hours basking in the sun, planning our day.
There are so many nice places to visit – the beach in Sirolo is a must, the caves in Frassasi well worth a visit, all the surrounding villages equally charming and vineyards just round the corner – that you will never be at a loss what to do.
Since we wanted little Molly to enjoy her very first holiday reasonably peacfully we skipped the restaurants in the evenings and prepared our own food inspired by the tempting ingredients we found at either the supermarket down the road in Macine or at the hipermercato in Jesi. And considering the amount of wine and water that was consumed with the meals, the wine cooler was heaven-sent!
One evening we had take-away pizzas from the local pizzeria up the hill, a fully recommendable treat.
The villa’s location in the very heart of rural Italy ensures that your stay will be a memorable one. Simon and Gail, the friendly owners, and Julia, the housekeeper welcoming you on arrival, will do everything within their power to meet your wishes.

Owner's Response: It’s great to hear about some of your holiday at our Villa. I am pleased you have sampled some of the activities in the area. Molly would have been a great asset to have in any restaurant in the area as all Italian’s love children as our experience has been with Lorenzo, he used to get a show round the restaurant and all the staff would want to pick him up and rock him slowly back and forward. I hope you can visit again and visit the water park, Loreto, many restaurants and other blue flag beaches serving great seafood.
Hope to see you again
