It has been lovingly restored into an elegant and comfortable holiday home using all original materials. Modern conveniences such as en-suite marble bathrooms, Wi-Fi broadband internet links, a large American-sized fridge, professional range cooker, and several sitting rooms ensure that everyone in your party has space to relax. Outside, our upper terrace has a large loggia with seating for 20. There is a large swimming pool for those hot days, and 12 acres of stunning hillside grounds to meander through if you feel like a walk. The tranquil setting makes it the ideal destination for family holidays, tracking and exploring. There is an excellent restaurant within walking distance, together with a wine bar and a bar/shop (open 7 days a week). San Ansovino lies about 4KM East of the beautiful medieval village of Apecchio which offers a wide range of services including a bank (with ATM), several supermarkets, bars, numerous excellent restaurants, a post office, chemist etc. The world famous UNESCO City of Urbino is just 40 minutes away, as are other beautiful hill towns such as Gubbio, Sansepolcro.

Amazing stay
We had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed and more. The pool was excellent and the kids (and adults) loved it. The house was clean and well equipped and we enjoyed using the pizza oven and BBQ during our stay. The location was ideal with supermarkets and restaurants nearby but it was remote enough to relax, get away from it all and enjoy the scenery. The hosts Louise and Marc were wonderful and really helped us both before and during our trip. I would highly recommend staying here :)

Wunderschöne Location!
Wir waren mit 14 Leuten für zehn Tage in der Monastero San Ansovino und waren begeistert von dem Anwesen! Ein sehr besonderes, geschichtsträchtiges Gebäude und ein wunderschöner Außenbereich! Von Haus aus kann man sehr schön wandern und es sind abwechslungsreiche (Halb-) Tagesausflüge in Städtchen und Nationalparks der Umgebung möglich. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war super, sie waren zu jeder Tageszeit erreichbar und haben uns in jeder Frage schnell geholfen. Jeden Morgen vor dem Aufstehen wurden Pool und Garten von Alfio gereinigt und gepflegt, ein toller Service! Am Abreisetag hatten wir einen Platten - trotz Sprachbarriere hat Alfio uns ohne Zögern geholfen, für uns mit der lokalen Werkstatt telefoniert, den Reifen dorthin gefahren und repariert wieder zurückgebracht, vielen lieben Dank dafür nochmal! Insgesamt hatten wir eine tolle Zeit und wir kommen sehr, sehr gerne wieder!

Splendid time spent at the monastery
An amazing, authentic house; tucked away in the hills of the Marche. A place that offers everything a foodie loves: Fresh herbs, pizza oven, extended kitchen equipment, plus the occasion for a real Italian Cooking class, with three generations female Chefs. Great communication with the owners, and absolutely amazing daily service by Alfio, the pool man. Would highly recommend this place if you are in for a lovely time in nature (hikes), combined with spending time at the pool.

About the host

Hosted by Louise Gross

Host profile image
Marc is a Californian who grew up North of San Francisco and Louise is English. Meeting in London they discovered a shared fondness for great food which eventually led them to Italy. They have two children, Aurelia and William who have spent many wonderful holidays at San Ansovino and the whole family love this beautiful spot.

Why they chose this property

We discovered this wonderful place on a trip to Italy with our then 2 year old daughter and fell in love with it instantly. The bell tower, the way it sits in the hills, and the way the light falls in the afternoon all tugged at our hearts. It was only later during the 4 year renovation that we became priviliged to make many local friends. We hope you love this special place as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

An ancient monastery nestling in the hills, will fresh truffles and porcinis to eat - what could be better... and all washed down with a glass of kir di San Ansovino.
