Charming agriturismo on a hill in the Marche, with sea view

This agriturismo appealed to me immediately because of the tastefully decorated rooms in a converted farmhouse and the stunning sea views. The reception was extremely friendly and one of the owners had called that afternoon to say that she was an hour away, to ensure that she was there when I arrived. Together with her sister-in-law she is the host for the guests. I was allowed to stay overnight in the suite on the first floor with a beautiful view of the olive trees, meadows and the sea.

The agriturismo is located on a hill just 2 kilometres from the sea and sandy beaches. It is also not far to the natural reserve Riviera del Conero. There you will find beautiful bays with crystal clear water. Along the coast in the Marche are many tourist villages with promenades, beach bars, shops, restaurants and markets. In the hilly inland of the Marche you will find peace and a lot of authentic villages and bigger towns with many attractions. For example Loreto, Gubbio, Macerata and Ascoli Piceno and the wine region around Jesi, known for the white wine Verdicchio. But also San Marino, where you can shop tax-free, is only 90 minutes away.

Rooms and suites

The agriturismo has four comfortable rooms and 2 suites. The four rooms are on the ground floor, 2 with a terrace and sea views. The two suites are on the first floor and have a bedroom and a small sitting room with sea views and a bathroom with bath. All rooms and suites are equipped with satellite TV, air conditioning, hairdryer, safe and WIFI.

Pool & sea

The agriturismo has a panoramic swimming pool with sunbeds, chairs and umbrellas. Next to the farmhouse with the rooms is an annex with a cosy breakfast room. In good weather you can eat breakfast outside on the terrace with a view of the sea. When I was there the owner had made a delicious lemon cake for breakfast. The agriturismo produces its own olive oil, fruity and delicate in taste, suitable for many dishes.

In short

Charming agriturismo with friendly owners and lovely sea views, just 2 km from sandy beaches and beach bars.
