Villa in the Vineyard is a single apartment taking over the whole ground floor of this stylish eco-villa. Only for one party of guests with private pool and gardens, unlike many other holiday homes which consist of multiple apartments and shared pool. We live discreetly on the top floor and act as your personal guides to the local area and amenities, when needed. We also maintain the grounds, the organic kitchen garden and the pool for you.
We have a Green Tourism Gold Award for our eco credentials but TripAdvisor's Green Leaders programme has been suspended for review and they are not accepting new applications. We can't wait for it to reopen!
Villa in the Vineyard offers its guests a relaxing retreat in one of the most outstanding areas of Le Marche with stunning views across vineyards, olive groves and up to hill-top villages. Both the spectacular Sibillini mountains and the golden beaches of the Adriatic coast are within easy reach. This is truly undiscovered Italy and Lonely Planet has voted Le Marche as No 2 Region in the world to visit in 2020. Eat some of the finest food in the local restaurants or cook yourself with locally produced ingredients.
We took over Villa in the Vineyard in early 2018 and have enjoyed welcoming guests to this very special place, which has the highest environmental credentials. We have made significant improvements to the apartment and the surrounding 2 acre grounds and we are delighted to have achieved 5-star reviews.
The emphasis here is on sustainable living with style and comfort. Large showers, abundant hot water fed by our solar panels, photovoltaic for electricity and a heat exchanger which keeps the house cool in summer - so no need for unhealthy air conditioning - and provides underfloor heating in the winter months. The villa was rebuilt using the original stone and brick and the paints and materials used are non toxic and allow the walls to 'breathe'. We even have a pure water ionized swimming pool, which is for your private use.
Villa in the Vineyard offers a perfect location for a rejuvenating retreat at any time of the year with time to relax in a hammock or gaze at the view. The villa is set in 19 acres of organic land and our guests are free to stroll through the vineyards. We can also arrange wine tastings at the neighbouring winery a short walk up the road, where you can taste the wines from the vineyards on our land accompanied by authentic antipasti.
There are walks from the house and the Sibillini Mountains National Park is about 40 minutes away with miles of trails, lake swimming and incredible flora and fauna.
Visit the beautiful cities of Ascoli Piceno, Fermo and Macerata or discover the many charming hill-top villages.
