A Country House in Marche Italy

The first holiday Maria and I had after we were married and I moved to Italy was renting a beautiful country house in Marche with some of our Italian friends.

It was a holiday that I will never forget. The old stone farmhouse we rented made it special, it was set in glorious scenery near the fabulous hill-town of San Leo.

Whether you are two people looking for a romantic getaway in the most romantic country of them all, or if you are in need of a family getaway in the Italian countryside then rent your own place.

You really will experience the authentic feel of the Marche and enjoy the pleasures of a region where life is still lived with a passion yet slowly, allowing every single moment to be savoured.

After much discussion Maria and I have put together a handpicked list of the places we consider to be the best home rentals in Le Marche...

LaValle del Sole near Corinldo & Mondavio

This beautifully restored estate is an ideal base to explore. The house consists of various apartments, all come with a fully equipped kitchen and have every modern comfort. They've everything for sports lovers too with the possibility of having your own personal trainer for the truly energetic. Don't miss out - book now!

Urbino

Surrounded by rolling hills, enjoy great views as you relax by the pool and take beautiful walks through the stunning countryside. It is recommended you rent a car as the public transport here is not at all good and you really must explore the beautiful landscapes and of course Urbino and the other lovely nearby villages.
