Memories from Marche

Memories from Marche: Marche

Nestled between the valleys and fields of central Italy, this luxury, eco-conscious country house provides the perfect base for a rural getaway. What was once an abandoned farmhouse has been sensitively restored to reflect the bountiful Marche countryside, honouring its traditional characteristics while adding a flair of modernity. Inside, terracotta tiles and wooden beamed ceilings blend harmoniously with chic, minimalist furniture and a modern, farmhouse-style kitchen.

The interior is beautiful, but we imagine you’ll be spending most of your time making the most of the outdoors. Especially when considering the outdoor kitchen, fully equipped for trying your hand at local dishes. Spend days lounging by the saltwater pool, taking a dip to cool off, while soaking in the rural surroundings. And spend evenings beneath the pergola, white curtains gently swaying in the wind, tucking into a fresh barbecue dinner around the dining table. After nights of tipsy piano playing and a few games of pool, you’ll love sinking into your cosy beds, already looking forward to waking up to the verdant, rolling views that both bedrooms are met with.

If you never wanted to leave this slice of countryside heaven, we’d get it. But this corner of Italy is one of the last areas that isn’t yet on the tourist trail, so you can explore the region of Marche and its beaches, walled cities, and archaeological sites with ease.
