Country House Marche Italy

The first holiday I had when I moved to Italy was renting a country house/villa in le Marche with some Piedmont friends. It was a holiday that I will never forget. The villa we rented made it special – set in the glorious scenery near San Leo. The memories of this period remain forever for my wife and me.

I am now a firm believer in this type of holiday, whether you are two people looking for a romantic getaway in the most romantic country of them all, or thirty needing a castle for that autumn/fall wedding then rent your own place. You will really experience the authentic le Marche in this way. Savour the pleasures of a region where life is still lived with a passion.

I have put together a handpicked list of places evaluated personally by myself. All are managed by reputable companies offering 24 hours a day, 7 days a week backup.
