accommodation facility
Stefania, helped by her daughter Gaia, her mother Lella and her husband Luca, will welcome you.
Stefania comes from Ferrara but she has Marchigian origins (her mother Lella was born in the Marches) and she spent the summer months in the Marches countryside since she was a child.
In love with this wonderful region, she told us that her accommodation is not only her home but also “the expression of who I am and what I love: simple life, clean air, the amazement of a sunrise over the lake and a sunset behind the hills, the perfumes I smelled as a child, the brooms that bloom from May, the thousands of fireflies in the fields in the summer evening, the horses a few meters from my gaze, a lively goose, a rooster that becomes your reliable alarm clock, the dogs that run free without danger”.
Stefania and her family will welcome you with enthusiasm but above all with the desire to let you grasp the magic of this place!
A typical Marche farmhouse with panoramic views of Lake Castreccioni, a few minutes from the villages of Apiro and Cingoli.
Rustic atmosphere, rooms with parquet and beams, private bathroom and lake or hill view.
It is the ideal place to relax but at the same time it is a perfect starting point for walks, excursions on foot, by e-bike and on horseback, and to discover towns, villages and abbeys that surround it.
In this little piece of heaven, you will meet many cute animals, including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, quails, a goose, a duck, a rabbit, turtles and parrots.
The structure is pet friendly and Bike Hotel.
