Encantadora casa de campo con vistas y piscina en el Parque Nacional

We had a fantastic holiday at Villa Gelso. From the moment we were greeted and led to the villa by the super friendly owners Sally and Marco we knew we were not going to be disappointed. The scenery on the road to the villa is spectacular and once you arrive you realise this villa has prime position overlooking the mountain view. The pool was a big hit with the four children who came with us and the villa itself was plenty big enough for two families of four to do everything we needed and not get under each others feet. The location is peaceful but only 10 minutes by car from Amondola and the supermarket, bars and restaurants there. We day tripped to the coast, the lake at fiastra, the caves, Ascoli and to Asissi and had a wonderful time getting immersed in the real Italy. Kiss me quick the region isn't but if you want a relaxing holiday amongst beautiful scenery with some Italian culture you can't do better. Marco and Sally were helpful and interesting hosts for whom nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be going back in the future. Thank you for having us in your beautiful villa.

Stort og godt indrettet hus på en stor grund. Der er langt til naboer og meget privat. Poolen er fin og området omkring den er hyggelig.

Værtsparret er meget imødekommende og hjælpsomme. Udsigten fantastisk og der er fine udflugte til vandring og en sø indenfor 40 minutters kørsel i bil. Inden for 10 min ligger to hyggelige byer med indkøbsmuligheder, og byen Amandols er særligt hyggelig til en lille gå-tur også og med smukke udsigter over landskabet omkring. Alt i alt et rigtigt god sted.

This property is fabulous. It really has everything, fabulous views, great facilities and welcoming hosts Marco and Sally. The main house is light and spacious with 3 doubles bedrooms and one twin. It also has a good sized bathroom upstairs and a shower room downstairs. The cottage is cosy with 2 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The pool is a good size. The property is private and extremely quiet with only local families in the hamlet. The views from the grounds and the main villa are amazing. We did experience a 6.2 magnitude Earthquake whilst staying in this property with the epicentre some 20 miles distant. The property appeared to suffer no effects from the quake. Marco and Sally have renovated the properties to the highest standards making sure that they comply with all regulations regarding buildings in Earthquake zones.

There are many historic hill towns, markets and festivals in the local region as well as opportunities to go in extended walks and enjoy the great outdoors.

As an extended family of brorhers, sisters and their partners we general rent a large property for an annual break. This property was certainly one of the best that our extended family has stayed in.

This is a first class property in almost every way, so let's get the downsides out of the way upfront.

Villa Gelso is not walking distance to the local towns of Amandola and Sarnano. These are a 15 min drive away, so no strolling down to the village for that morning cappuccino or evening aperativo.

And Le Marche does not have a museum, art gallery or Michelin listed restaurant in every village, nor does it offer an 'all hours' nightlife.

It is, in that sense, relatively rural, remote and decidedly not Rome or Milan.

However, that was exactly what we wanted.

A private and comfortable establishment where a large extended family could hang out around the pool or garden, do many of the excellent walks ( or, for the cyclists among us, rides) in the surrounding mountains, or explore Le Marche villages, cafes and restaurants without sharing these with the large numbers of fellow tourists that have now taken the pleasure from many other places in Italy.

Villa Gelso is spacious & well equipped, the wifi works very well, and few home comforts are missing. Some of our tribe complained about the odd insect, but most thought that the biodiversity was entirely manageable, with or without chemicals. We didn't do the Le Marche outlets, but heard others had enjoyed a day doing some of these.

Owners Marco and Sally could not have been more friendly & helpful.

Overall, a very attractive value proposition.
