Lovely Villa in the Italian Marche Countryside
This is a lovely villa located in the Italian countryside Marche province. The villa itself has plenty of space and is both modern and comfortable. The bedrooms are spacious, there are plenty of bathrooms and two showers, and the heat of the day can be controlled via air conditioning units located in each bedroom. The kitchen is well equipped and includes plenty of spices, etc. The pool is fabulous, very new and well maintained with loungers and areas of both sun and shade thanks to the nearby trees and the large parasol. Enough sleeping and living room for up to three couples or two modest sized families. As noted, location is in the Countryside, with beautiful rolling hills of grain, alfalfa, sunflowers, and grapevines all around. You are very close to several nearby villages with groceries and great restaurants. Some lovely wineries are also not far away and the sea is close too, about 30 minutes to some lovely beaches. Communication with Egon, the owner, was great and super easy. He also provides truly excellent PDF guides to the house, nearby activities and attractions, and also nearby restaurants with his own personal dining reviews and recommendations. These are really fantastic guides! Villa was easy to find with google maps and entry was straightforward. This villa is highly recommended!

Lovely house
We had difficulty finding it but contacted the owners who stayed on phone with us until we got there. Very responsive. The house was lovely and everything work well. Very rural but that is typical of the area. I would definitely stay there again.

The privacy of our villa is our stronghold although it's only 2km's away from the historic centre of three lovely old villages. In our experience and previous feedbacks from guests the serenity and the surrounding landscape makes our villa or 'Castellino' a special experience, where you can forget about time and place for a while. Thanks Bonnie, and yes we would love to welcome you back sometime!

Fantastic rural retreat
The property is very nice and the pool is excellent. The location is sufficiently rural that it feels isolated and quiet (apart from tractors). However it's near an excellent supermarket (15 mins) and nice seaside resorts (30 mins). The views from the villa are very good. The weather was very hot, perhaps a little too hot for our tastes (I would go later or earlier next time) and the aircon units really were not sufficient on a couple of nights. The owners need to install proper aircon units throughout - although this might only be an issue when the temperature is really high (we had 36oC). The only other downside is that we got a lot of mosquito bites despite taking all precautions. The owners were very approachable and helpful over text message - which was much appreciated.

Un vero palazzo
The house offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Location is perfect, very quiet and private, but close to the village of Rapagnano. We loved shopping in Oase (open every day !) the supermarket offers an amazing variety of fresh fish. For cena we recommend Il vecchio molino (in the village itself) and Vela (in Porto San Gorgio) If the property was ours we would consider cutting 2 trees to create a view on the beautiful sunflowers :-)

Dear Nadine, thank you and great to hear that you have really enjoyed your stay with us. Last year we cut the first two trees to indeed create a more open view to the surrounding hills, so we understand your feedback. We might take some more trees out when we are harvesting our olives in October!

This could have been fantastic
We were 2 families with one infant each that rented the house for 3 nights., The pool area, outside hang out places and dining area are really good, you also have a lot of things you can do or play. The view is also nice and great. When we came to the house it was a lot of left overs in the fridge and in the kitchen which felt not so nice. The cleaning was not good, it was sand on the floor in the entrance rooms, spiderwebs in a lot of the rooms and it was NO air condition in any of the bedrooms which made it tough for our 2 families infants during the nights we stayed there. We also told this to the owner directly and the only thing they did was responding with "we know that we are not there yet with the cleaners" which of course did not helped us at all. We also did not get any discount afterwards. If the owner only makes sure that the cleaning is good and that they are a bit more smart towards the persons renting the house I think the total experience will be much better quickly. All in all we felt that it was not worth the price paid per night but if the owner shapes up it can become a great stay!

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr 2020
We have been in close contact with our guests during their short stay and answered a lot of their questions immediately. As a result we have spoken with the cleaning staff directly and ran through our expectations on how the cleaning should be improved to prevent problems in the future. After that, we have explicitly checked this with our new guests and had no further problems. The house has one mobile airco unit in one of the sleeping rooms and all rooms are equipped with mobile fans. Our own experience is that despite the sometimes high outside temperatures the house keeps relatively cool due to the solid stone structure as long as the shutters remain closed during the day, which is usually more convenient compared to airconditioned rooms. However, this is a personal view and due to the feedback we have bought a 2nd mobile airco unit for in the sleeping rooms. Again we have checked this with guests that stayed afterwards and had no further complaints, only very positive feedback.

Perfect Holiday Villa
We have just returned from a weeks holiday in this amazing villa with pool. The owners have furnished the villa to a very high standard and have provided guests with everything required for a perfect stay. Everything is brand new and well maintained. The amazing pictures are exactly as you will find the villa. You will not be disappointed apart from when its time to leave. The villa is in a beautiful rural setting with stunning views and perfectly situated to explore the surrounding region with beautiful hill top towns, scenery and beach resorts all with plenty to see and a wide choice of places to eat. A car is definitely recommended. Egon and Shab supplied a very comprehensive information pack and had excellent communication before, during and after our holiday. We very highly recommend the villa and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Super Location für jeden der Ruhe und Erholung sucht
Es war ein toller Aufenthalt. Das Haus bietet alles was man sich für einen erholsamen Urlaub wünscht. Insbesondere der Pool, aber auch die Tischtennisplatte, die von unseren Jungs intensiv gebraucht wurde, waren Spitze. Küche, Bäder und Schlafzimmer waren sehr gut ausgestattet. Das Anwesen war umgeben von traumhaft schönen Sonnenblumenfeldern. Es gab nur einen Wermutstropfen: durch die intensiven Regenfälle im Frühsommer war der Weg zum Haus sehr ausgeschwemmt und es gab reichlich Stechmücken.

Une superbe adresse dans les Marches
La réalité est encore supérieure à la description et aux photos reprises sur le site. Beaucoup d'espace, en particulier la cuisine intégrée (on rêverait d'avoir la même chez soi...). La maison peut accueillir sans souci deux couples avec enfants. Propreté impeccable, tout ce dont peut avoir besoin est disponible. Belles chambres et salles de bains spacieuses. Superbe piscine, très régulièrement entretenue durant notre séjour. Tout cela sans parler de la région, qui offre des paysages de carte postale. L'environnement de la maison, très calme, est également un point très positif. Magnifique jardin fleuri entouré de vignes et de champs. Et enfin, les propriétaires sont extrêmement attentifs et prêts à intervenir au moindre problème (nous n'en avons eu aucun...). Conclusion: nous recommandons chaudement cette adresse, et nous nous sommes promis d'y retourner! Christine et Luc (Bruxelles)

Prachtige woning omgeven door akkers. Als je rustig wilt zitten zonder andere toeristen in de buurt, is dit dé aangeraden plek. Een geweldig en groot zwembad waar overdag de zwaluwen van komen drinken en 's avonds de vleermuizen. Grote ruime slaapkamers, eigenlijk alles aanwezig. De dorpjes in de buurt hebben ook alles te bieden en niet ver weg.

Casa accogliente e proprietari gentili
Abbiamo soggiornato in 8 durante i giorni di capodanno. Pur essendo mancata la corrente elettriche dalla sera del nostro arrivo fino all'indomani mattina il soggiorno è stato piacevole. (Per scusarsi i proprietari ci hanno rimborsato una notte.) Rosanna ed Egidio, i manutentori della casa, hanno cercato di fare del loro meglio aiutandoci gentilmente. Casa consigliata per soggiorni di relax e pace. La vista notturna delle stelle è mozzafiato. Unica pecca a mio avviso è la scarsa luce in cucina.

De weg naar de woning was prachtig vanwege alle zonnebloem velden. Een zeer goed uitgeruste keuken met leuke presentjes als welkom. Prima kamers en goede bedden en prima badkamers en geen gebrek aan heet water om te douchen. Een fantastisch groot zwembad. Handdoeken etc. waren allemaal aanwezig zo ook de nodige andere simpele zaken zoals toiletpapier, keukenrol, peper, zout, vaatwasblokjes etc. wat vaak bij andere huizen zelf aangeschaft moet worden voor maar 1 week. Assistentie bij een lekkende kraan werd gelijk geregeld. M.a.w. een fantastische villa!
