A place to return to
My sister, brother-in-law and I shared Casa Ciliegia for a week. The accommodations were perfect for two couples or in our case three people. We enjoyed having separate living spaces with the kitchen in the upper level where I stayed. The property is located in a beautiful and quiet area of Italy. This was our first visit to Le Marche and we'll be back! Casa Cappella was very well-maintained and the furnishings, bedding, towels and other amenities were tasteful, well-designed and maintained. The kitchen was well-equipped with a dishwasher, a new induction cooktop, and a more than adequate refrigerator and freezer. Lona and Gavin had stocked the kitchen and refrigerator with an abundant amount of food and sundries. We greatly appreciated being able to prepare our first meals without having to drive to a grocery. Lona and Gavin have created and maintained a very special landscape surrounding the three structures. We enjoyed their harvests of different fruits and herbs. Lona also shared jams that she made with the produce from their fruit trees. They have also worked very hard to provide a lot of written information about restaurants, things to do and see, etc. Both Lona and Gavin were very willing to recommend restaurants and outings when asked and made reservations for us multiple times. While we were there, a young British couple were staying in the other rental for two weeks. It was their third visit (including their honeymoon 6 years ago). They told us they were already planning their next visit! Lona and Gavin treated us like we were new friends, not paying guests, in a genuine and heart-warming manner. They are fascinating and gracious people. I highly recommend Casa Cappella and Casa Ciliegia and I plan to return with my wife to introduce her to this beautiful region of Italy and to Lona and Gavin.
