You are also well-placed for taking day trips to the coast or visiting attractions such as the incredible Frasassi Caves.
Le Marche is a beautiful area which is off the usual tourist trails and is a fantastic place for nature lovers to visit. As soon as you leave the door of the villa, you will find yourself in a mountain landscape with walking routes, mountain biking trails and woodlands just a stone’s throw away.
Visible from the home is part of the Regional Natural Reserve of Monte San Vicino and Monte Canfaito, this vast protected area is a great place to spend the day in the ancient forests, in the park you can follow gentle signposted walks or lengthy hikes depending on your abilities.
For more challenging hikes as well as climbing, head to The Sibillini Mountains which divide Le Marche from neighbouring Umbria.

Thrill-seekers can follow the adventure trail though it is worth noting that little ones cannot follow this route.
If all of this sounds a little too energetic for you, then why not spend a day visit a local vineyard. The breathtaking Il Pollenza Estate is a wonderful choice as you can explore the gorgeous gardens and see the palatial home while here. When it comes to touring the cellars, you can book a simple tour ticket or you can book an exclusive private tour and wine tasting. The Il Pollenza Estate is a 14km drive away from the home.
