About this property
Magnificent Stone Villa
Casa delle Stelle near the beautiful medieval towns of Arcevia and Serra de' Conti consists of a magnificent stone villa with scented jasmine climbing by the front door and a separate cottage.It has a private 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 shops and restaurants are nearby if you want them.
The villa lies between two beautiful villages Avacelli and Castiglioni and is in the perfect spot to explore the Le Marche region.

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.
