About this property

Casa delle Stelle near the beautiful towns of Arcevia and Serra de' Conti is a luxurious stone villa with scented jasmine climbing by the front door and a separate cottage.It has its own sparkling pool set in a panoramic position close to the villa but not too close. With commanding views onto the beautiful rural Gola della Rossa Natural Park, Casa delle Stelle is in the perfect location. Secluded as you bask in the sun or eat al fresco under the portico you are still only a 3 minute walk from a high quality restaurant providing superb local fresh food and a 10 minute walk to the local shop and bar, the centre of life for the hamlet. The house has been designed with the holiday-maker in mind- French windows to let in maximum light and to appreciate the stunning countryside, high quality antique Marche furniture, terrace table extending to cater for large groups for wonderful outside dining. Enjoy watching your family in the pool while you are preparing their prosciutto e melone! Sit on the pool steps and dangle your toes in the warm water. The house offers seclusion and tranquillity in the heart of the rolling countryside but farming village life is not far away if you want it.
The villa lies between two beautiful villages Avacelli and Castiglione and is in the perfect spot to explore the Le Marche region.

Magnificent Home; Stunning Location

Being a frequent renter of holiday homes all over Italy it can sometimes be challenging to find a property that is spacious, elegant, well furnished, well maintained with multiple guest rooms and bathrooms, plus a pool and nice views. Judging from the web listing this property seemed to tick all the boxes, but upon our arrival I have to say that it even exceeded our expectations! Both my maternal and paternal grandfathers were born in Le Marche, in villages very near to La Casa delle Stelle, so it was the ideal location to base ourselves for visiting family. The villa provided us with a magnificent venue to reciprocate family hospitality and invite them to lunch or dinner - needless to say they were just as impressed as we were with the dimensions of the house, the quality of the furniture and furnishings, the multiple bathrooms and of course how spotlessly clean everything was. Having Le Betulle Agriturismo just up the lane way was an added benefit as we wandered up there a few times for a traditional Marchigiano meal or for our little boys to use their well equipped playground. The property manager, Fabiana, lives nearby and was extremely friendly and attentive in ensuring everything regarding our stay was perfect. Within a short drive there are supermarkets, beaches, wonderful medieval hill towns, walking trails and stunning vistas everywhere. This property is definitely one of the best in this region of Italy and is highly recommended.

Entspannung pur

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt mit sechs Erwachsenen und sechs Kindern sehr genossen. Der Blick von der Terrasse sorgt für Entspannung und das Haus ist großzügig, ruhig und sehr schön eingerichtet. . Es gibt vier Schlafzimmerr in der ersten Etage sowie eins im Etdgeschoss, was vergleichsweise klein ist und uns nicht ganz so gut gefallen hat wie die Zimmer oben. Ein weiteres Schlafzimmer findet sich im Cottage. Toll wäre es, wenn auch die Fenster des Wohnzimmers Fliegengitter hätten. Dann könnte man abends gut durchlüften. Zudem wäre es schön, wenn die Stühle auf der Terrasse Sitzpolster hätten. Wir haben uns alle sehr wohl gefühlt und würden das Haus weiterempfehlen.

Italian Holiday

Beautiful Villa in a spectacular setting. Very well equipped and comfortable. The pool was enjoyed by all our group. The restaurant at the end of the road was good as was the small bar and shop in the village. Jesi, Singhallia and the local caves at Genga all worth a visit. Very pretty hillside towns within a short distance from the Villa. A perfect place for a relaxing, tranquil holiday.

Just do it!

Lovely house with lots of space for 5 couples plus an annex for another couple if needed. Furnished very sympathetically with rustic antique furniture. Outside space is very well maintained , including the pool area. The outdoor dining table is convenient to the kitchen and perfectly placed to admire the amazing views. Restaurant 5 minutes walk down the lane and only a 40 minute drive to Ancona airport add to the advantages of this beautiful house. Communication with the owners and the house manager, Fabiano, was great and they gave lots of useful information about the house and the area. We were a group of 10 and everyone had a fabulous week!

Wonderful

Beautiful villa with breathtaking views. We loved the pool and outside patio. We stayed there for 11 days, a family of twelve, the age range 10 - 80 years, everybody was comfortable. We took day trips to the beach in Senigallia and loved it! The manager was super nice and helpful. Truly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Robert and Jane Stephany

Living in London,we have 4 grown up children-2 sons,2 daughters and seven grandchildren. Rob my husband has always loved Italy ever since he was a student at Perugia University many years ago. Our romantic dream was to one day have a place in Italy, where we could meet up with our family as well as having friends to stay. Having fallen in love with Le Marche and the people-the scenery is amazing with beautiful unspoilt medieval hill-top villages and undulating countryside- we achieved our dream in 2005. The region offers all the best 21st century facilities but in a laid-back atmosphere reminiscent of a much earlier time. We restructured our farmhouse with a view to making it a wonderful holiday home-large living space downstairs with lots of doors onto the garden and easy access to the pool. After spending many years sourcing high-quality rustic furniture typical of old houses in the area and carrying out improvements we decided a few years ago that the time had come to share it with others-we hope that you enjoy our villa as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The location of our home is fantastic for holiday makers in summer and winter because it has everything you need so close to hand and yet at the same time you have a feeling of isolation and tranquillity. Turn off the road, down a short white road and around the corner is Casa delle Stelle and the annesso or cottage nestling among the trees and through the wrought-iron gates It is a 45 minute easy drive from Ancona airport in a beautiful part of Le Marche in the depths of the countryside and outside the little charming hilltop village of Avacelli. From our garden you can see the highest mountain in the region Monte Murano as well as the natural park Gola della Rossa and the hilltop villages of Mergo and Rosora. There are great restaurants close by but Sunday lunch at Le Betulle our very own local is a must.

What makes this property unique

You can walk to the restaurant with a playground in 3 minutes and our local village shop and bar in 10 minutes and be part of a real Italian rural farming community. But back in our home eating al fresco or lazing on our sun loungers you feel away from everything and everyone!The pace of life is genuinely very slow. This is good in itself but also makes driving a pleasure with hardly any cars on the roads.
It is an ideal location -if you want a day out you can go to the seaside, explore the hills and the world famous Frasassi caves or take in a bit of culture in Urbino. And then there are the beautiful walks right from our house into the park, down the valley or through the fields to reach the shop which is always open and buy one of Cesari's great ice-creams or his own salami.
