Solstice in Marche

This magnificent Italian house is beautifully integrated into the idyllic landscape of the Marche countryside. With a private pool, a brick wood oven and a gorgeous garden filled with native plants, flowers and fruit trees to picnic under or get lost in, you'll be spending just as much time outside as inside. In the evening when the temperature drops, finish off the last scraps of barbecue enjoyed under the sun, and head inside to gather around the cosy fireplace, and get some work done at the desk or enjoy a film on the big screen. Everyone is sure to get the most out of their holiday at this home – even your four-legged friends. Whether you're running wild in the garden, lounging by the pool and enjoying the gorgeous scenery, or you're in the traditional kitchen cooking up a culinary feast for everyone to enjoy, this home lends itself perfectly to a life filled with simple luxuries, perfect for those who need to get away from a busy lifestyle.

Just a short drive from your doorstep you'll find Urbino, a beautiful walled Renaissance town steeped in culture and bursting with things to do. Immerse yourself in local history and visit the turreted Palazzo Ducale, or take a look at some breathtaking art in the National Gallery of the Marche. And there's no shortage of restaurants and cafes to try out, whether you want to try something new or just introduce your taste buds to a proper pizza.
