Le Marche Properties and Accommodation

Agriturismo - a combination of the words for "agriculture" and "tourism" in Italian - is a style of farmhouse vacation that is suitable for the whole family. In some agriturismos there is even the possibility to get involved in the day to day working of the land – a great experience for both adults and children.

An agriturismo is based upon produce from its own land; be it food, olive oil or wine - everything comes from the local area and this is what you will be eating and drinking. There is also the huge benefit of living with and getting to know the real Italians and the traditions which have dictated their lives for centuries.

However, this is not a basic holiday; many agriturismos are of the highest standards and have luxurious rooms, restaurants, swimming pools etc – you choose exactly what you want for the premium Italian experience.

In the charming medieval center of historic Cupra Alta, on a hilltop overlooking the Adriatic Sea rests Casa Capanna, a tranquil property comprising four levels. The spacious home offers four separate bedrooms and four bathrooms, a living room oozing Old-World charm with wide windows that open onto wonderful views of the sea, and a suitable, equipped kitchen. There is also a small, leafy garden accessible from the ground floor. High-quality restorations make the house comfortable while still retaining much of the old character, such as characteristic terracotta floor tiles, hand painted ceilings and hewn-wood doors. Antique furnishings complete the house’s allure.

From this location you have quick and easy access to the wide beaches along the Riviera delle Palme, a famed stretch of the southern Le Marche coast. Sightseeing opportunities abound, as this house makes a great jumping-off point to visit Ascoli Piceno, Offida, the Sibilline Mountains, and other historic hill towns in the area.

You can normally expect a very friendly and homely atmosphere with the comfort of getting up in the morning to a prepared breakfast leaving the rest of the day free.

The origins of the Villa date back to the XVII century, to the time of the first settlement which appears to have been a medieval tumba (farm). In the 1700s, the country house was already a splendid villa and included: a country house, a private oratory dedicated to San Rocco and all of the structures needed for the sulphur mining activities on the plain below. A series of important figures have owned the property over the years and for several years it was the summer residence of the Archbishops of Urbino. At the beginning of the XX century, the mining activities slowly came to a stop with the consequent abandonment of the Villa. Today, following a long and painstaking restoration, the noble building and its park have reacquired their original charm and are ready to welcome new guests with all of the comforts and elegance dictated by the modern canons of hotel hospitality, but without abandoning the traditions of the past. In fact, the villa has maintained its strong historical legacy which guests can see in the stately building and feel in an atmosphere steeped in memories of the past.
