Mountains and Coastline : Sogni dei Santi is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty - between the mountains and the sea. There are marked hiking and walking trails up into the nearby mountains. The ancient pilgrim route to Assisi runs through Aliforni hamlet. The Gola della Rossa-Frasassi National Park (30mins away) features a series of towering limestone gorges providing a habitat for rare golden eagles, peregrine falcons and eagle owls as well as Italy's largest and most interesting network of caves at Frasassi. The Cistercian Abbey of Fiastra (35 mins) is an inland nature reserve and home to a wide variety of animals and rare birds. 1 Hour from the house are the breathtaking mountains of the Sibillini National park. Monte Conero National Park, just south of Ancona, provides Le Marche with a dramatic and rugged stretch of coastline with secluded beaches & coves. It features thousands of species of maritime flora, is rich in bird life and has stunning views over the sea. European Blue Flags beaches.

Food and Wine: Situated in central Italy, Le Marche represents the meeting point between the culinary traditions of northern and southern Italy. It has a vast variety of local foods - from the strong flavours that dominate the food in the mountainous areas, such truffles, mushrooms, salami & tasty 'porchetta', to the more subtle flavours of the coastal cuisine - such as 'brodetto del mare'. Large and juicy olives are another feature of Le Marche's gastronomic tradition. The famous Italian 'gelato' is also something to be enjoyed! The cultivation of vines in Le Marche can be traced back to Roman times and viticulture in the regions thrives to this day with 24,000 hectares under vine, a third of which is doc. The most famous DOC wine of the region is Verdicchio, a white wine produced in Jesi and Matellica (30mins away). Excellent reds are Rosso Conero, Rosso Piceno and Lacrima del Morro d'Alba. Good sparkling wines and spirits are also produced in the region.

An Italian Gem
Look no further if you want a fantastic and relaxing place to stay in Marche. The house is extremely comfortable and the garden and pool absolutely perfect. The views from the house are stunning. We were so well looked after by Alessandro and Ricardo - very attentive but in no way intrusive- a thoroughly warm Italian welcome. We would not hesitate to return to this wonderful house.

Perfect family house
Spent a beautiful week with our family, including 6 grandchildren celebrating our Golden wedding anniversary. Had their recommended chef cook for us 4 evenings which was a real bonus. Amazing food. Upstairs rooms only suitable for children rather than adults. Trampoline a little worry, as no safety net. Highly recommend everything.

Wonderful Family Holiday!
We loved this beautiful house in the hills above San Severino. It accommodated our family of 14 comfortably and the facilities were generous and good quality. The pool was a fine size and was kept clean and could be seen from the house but was not fenced. The grass lead to the pool and was ideal for ball games. There were two shaded verandas so all meals could be enjoyed outside and the views were stunning. The property manager, his assistant and the cleaners were helpful and friendly. We were introduced to a cook who prepared three delicious evening meals for the 8 adults and brought a smiling young woman to translate. Extra cleaning for an hour on three mornings was also arranged and helpful. We hope we shall be able to return!

Most Magical Villa in Le Marche!
I can't thank Joss and Alessandro enough for such an amazing stay in this villa. I celebrated my 30th birthday with 9 friends and it was everything I could have asked for. Joss was very communicative and connected me with Alessandro who helped me book many activities (and provided great recommendations in San Severino) for us. They put us in contact with Marco who drove us around to two wineries and to Country Home Salomone (highly recommend) for lunch. The whole excursion started at 9 a.m. and ended at around 7 p.m. for such an amazing price. Also, Marco was simply the most amazing guide. Alessandro also helped us book an Italian chef to come and show us a cooking presentation and made dinner for us. This was probably one of my favorite nights because the kitchen in the villa is perfect for this kind of "showing" and Franchesca was incredibly kind! You might not want to leave the villa because it truly is perfect. The trampoline is also a great addition! Everyone back home was a bit jealous of the pictures I shared with them, haha. My only regret is that I wish I stayed longer. One week wasn't enough to explore the beautiful region of Marche + just hang out in the house and relax. Will be booking another stay here soon!

Wonderful family holiday
This was the best equipped and well kept villa that we have stayed in. The gardener does a great job in keeping the garden maintained. All indoor and outdoor space was superb. The views are glorious and there are many spots around the house to sit and read, eat or talk as a whole group or in smaller groups. The pool was also perfect for adults and children with excellent sunbeds. Kitchen was well equipped and easy to cater for our whole party of 12. The host also provides two highchairs on request, as we had two one year-olds in our party. The property is remote but not too far to nearby towns. The only slight downside, which we didn't realise before arriving, was that the top floor rooms have low ceilings and were not the easiest to get to. Therefore they would mostly be suitable for children and teens, but not young children as the stairs are not easy to climb. We would definitely stay here again - thank you!

Idyllic countryside luxury family home
This is one of the most beautifully appointed properties imaginable. Set in stunning lush countryside, the interior is tastefully designed with Italian stone floors, comfortable furniture, modern bathrooms and lovely bedrooms. This wonderful stone house offers breathtaking views for miles over Le Marche , and many an hour can be spent absorbing the peace and tranquility of this magical setting.. There's lots to do at home, as well as in the areas beyond. We enjoyed exploring many local medieval towns as well as two days at the beach. Excellent restaurants locally mean that dinner out is a very tempting option. This spot really is a taste of paradise.

Tolle Unterkunft mit viel Platz zum entspannen
Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub mit 3 Paaren und 4 Kleinkindern. Die Unterkunft ist voll ausgestattet und wir konnten unseren Urlaub in vollen Zügen genießen. Im Garten ist ein großer Pool und ein Trampolin, womit die Kinder besonders viel Spaß hatten. Die Küche ist sehr groß und mit Sitzgelegenheit. Außerdem gibt es ein großes Wohnzimmer und ein Esszimmer. Einziger Nachteil war, dass es sehr abgelegen ist und man alles nur mit dem Auto erreicht. Vorteil wiederum, dass es sehr ruhig ist und man richtig entspannen kann.

Een erg fijne en complete vakantiewoning. Alles was aanwezig, goede bedden, heerlijke grote keuken.
Een fijn vakantiehuis, zowel bij mooi als slechter weer. Grote tuin met heerlijk zwembad, maar bij kouder weer heel ruim en gezellig binnen, twee knusse haarden, een collectie dvd's etc. Een prima huis om met een grote familie in te verblijven. Enige nadeel is misschien dat het wel vrij afgelegen ligt en in de heuvels, dus je moet best veel rijden om dingen te zien. Verder heerlijk en hele vriendelijke communicatie met de lokale beheerder.

Siamo stati molto contenti di essere stati ospitati in questa favolosa Villa durante il periodo delle feste natalizie, con un'ottima pulizia, un favoloso arredamento confortevole hanno reso il nostro soggiorno fantastico. Grazie anche all'efficienza della proprietà abbiamo fatto delle escursioni nelle vicinanze, mangiato prodotti locali e ristorato con il BBQ all'aperto. La posizione della casa isolata e sulla cima di una valle, dà una vista incredibile. Grazie infinite per la disponibilità, speriamo di tornare verso la primavera per sfruttare anche la piscina. :)

Die Marken - so wie sie sein sollen
Wir (zwei Familien mit insgesamt neun Personen) waren für zwei wunderbare Wochen in diesem grandiosen Haus. Man kann den anderen Bewertungen nur zustimmen: Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt, gut aufgeteilt und bestens ausgestattet. Ideal sind die fünf Schlafzimmer im ersten Stock, wir haben nur diese genutzt und sehr genossen (die anderen Schlafzimmer/Betten befinden unter den Dachschrägen ein Stockwerk höher und sind nur über eine Wendeltreppe erreichbar). Das Erdgeschoss mit der großzügigen und bestens ausgestatteten Küche, dem Wohnraum und dem Essbereich ist sehr einladend und gemütlich, der Ausblick aus der Küche ist sensationell. Die Außenbereiche, der Garten und der Pool sind sehr gepflegt - Joss und insbesondere Alessandro vor Ort sind jederzeit rasch erreichbar, wenn irgendwelche Fragen oder Problene auftauchen oder man lokale Tipps braucht. Die Marken sind immer wieder eine Reise wert, in diesem Haus wird der Aufenthalt perfekt!
