If you have read the previous reviews then you will have seen how highly visitors rate the accomodation, owners and location. All we can say is that they are correct and what a great place to stay Casal dei Fichi is. Well done Bob and Ian.

Had such a terrific time! It was exactly as it looked on the website, of course it was so much better seeing it for real! Lovely Welcoming, lovely views, lovely weather! Just couldn't of ask for a better place to stay! Also, the little touches that they put into things really did go down a treat!! Olive oil from their trees, a chance to pick fresh fruit and vegetables! Marvellous! Would reccommend it to everyone! Will most certainly be returning there! Thanks again for a beautiful place to stay and experience.

Halcyon days in Rural Marche
Submitted: December 27, 2011
Stayed: October 2011
Casal dei Fichi is a balm to the body and soul
Surrounded by rolling fields and stunning medieval hilltop towns, Casal dei Fichi really is a perfect place to be.
The apartments are beautifully presented and thoughtfully equipped.
Bob and Ian's green credentials extend to their solar heated swimming pool, eggs from their own chickens and 'pick your own' organic vegetables
If lying by the pool, surrounded by the heady scent of lavender all gets too much, then there are many places to explore. We had an invigorating walk in the Sibillini mountains and lunch in the most beautiful Piazza del Popolo in Ascoli Piceno.
Its all been said in the reviews, so time to find out for yourselves
Than you Bob and Ian, you are the perfect hosts

Casal dei Fichi in Autumn
Submitted: December 27, 2011
Stayed: September 2011
We had just come from a 14-day organized tour in Slovenia & Croatia. This was a perfect spot to "decompress" and go at our own pace. This was our third stay; Bob and Ian have continued to make enhancements, like flat screen TV's. Weather still was pleasant.
Room Tip: We prefer the Ricci apartment because it gets the afternoon sun. On the other hand, others have the better views.

Fantastic weekend break
Submitted: December 27, 2011
Stayed: November 2011
We have just returned from the most fantastic "Gourmet Olive Weekend" at Casal dei Fichi. The appartment was superb with the most beautiful views of the le Marche countryside. It was a full weekend including a visit to a wine producer, a local market, the hilltown of Loreto, a brilliant cookery class, taking olives that we had picked to a local press and seeing how the oil is made, making pizzas in Bob & Ian's outdoor pizza oven, as well as being wined and dined at the most wonderful restaurants. Bob and Ian were the perfect hosts and it was great to be ferried around all weekend with no worries about driving. The food was amazing and the fact that we are vegetarian made no difference whatsoever as our hosts ensured that we were catered for. Rest assured that whatever your diet, you will not go hungry on this weekend!! Casal dei Fichi has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and Balzo and Hattie, the delightful resident dogs, were always there to greet us when we returned from our trips. If you want a weekend break in a beautiful location, love good food, good wine, good company and don't mind putting on a bit of weight, you will love this trip. We cannot recommend this highly enough and have already arranged to return again.

A great weekend in a beautiful place
Submitted: December 27, 2011
Stayed: November 2011
I went to Casal dei Fichi for one of their "Gourmet Olive" weekends. The weekend was not especially gourmet (though there was lots of great food) nor was it especially olive, but it was probably all the better for being neither of these things, and was extremely enjoyable.
The location is in the Marche region of Italy, a rural place of tradition, a slower pace of life, and beautiful hilltop towns. It is also about a 30 minute drive to some great coastal villages, which we visited for one of our meals. The region is great to escape the pressures and pace of modern city life. It is like Tuscany with far fewer tourists and lower prices.
During our weekend we visited a number of local restaurants, ranging from cheap local places to more high end. All were very good, our hosts had chosen extremely well to give us variety, local cuisine, good fine and wine in excellent locations.
We also visited Civitanova, a local town with a market, and Loreto, an important catholic shrine.
On the first day we visited Umani Ronchi, one of the areas bigger wine producers. The final day included a cookery lesson, which was fun and particularly notable for eccentric art club in which it is held. We finished with a "pizza party" at Casal dei Fichi on the final night, and on the final morning we did pick some olives and visited the local olive press.
Throughout the weekend our excellent hosts Bob and Ian, the owners of Casal dei Fichi were with us, guiding us, driving us to the different destinations and translating for us. There were 4 other guests, who provided good and interesting company.
What Bob and Ian have done in creating Casal dei Fichi from a derelict farmhouse is remarkable.
The 6 apartments are of excellent quality, large, and with high quality fixtures and fittings. There is a good sized 15m outdoor swimming pool (obviously not in use in November when we visited).
Whilst I was only personally interested in this special weekend holiday I cannot imagine that if you wanted a self catering apartment holiday in this location it would be possible to find better. It is located about 5 - 10 minutes drive from the nearest village, so you would need a car.
Bob and Ian are really friendly guys who work hard to ensure their guests have a great time. The weekend was really enjoyable, and a great introduction to this beautiful area.

A brilliant Holiday
Submitted: December 27, 2011
Stayed: September 2011
Casal dei Fichi is a gem of a holiday destination. It is situated in beautiful Marche countryside overlooking rolling hills and hilltop towns. The tasteful apartments are splendidly equipped and the pool and garden are excellent. The lovely relaxed atmosphere is most definitely down to Bob and Ian who are most generous and kind hosts. The pizza evening is not to be missed!
We had a great holiday and would certainly highly recommend Casal dei Fichi.

A perfect Holiday

We just enjoyed a wonderful 4 day holiday at Casal dei Fichi with hosts Ian and Bob. Wonderful scenery, excellent meals at a variety of restaurants, a wine tour, a chance to pick olives and then to see first hand how olive oil is produced. The apartment was tastefully decorated and had everything we could possibly need (if only we could have stayed longer) while Ian and Bob were exceptional hosts. Highly recommended.

A last minute long weekend
Submitted: December 27, 2011
Stayed: August 2011
We had a last minute, long weekend at the end of august with Ian and Bob. As ever, it was a great delight, including the now infamous pizza night together with fun and games by the pool with the kids. That was extra nice as they seemed to have laid on the nice weather and there were a collection of kids able to have fun and relax (all under the watchful gaze of balzo). As ever, a top class break, nothing too much and felt more relaxed after 3 days than we have done after 2 weeks elsewhere. Will definitely be back in summer 2012!
