We have now stayed in La Pieve three times and enjoyed ourselves more as we have got to know the area and its amazing scenary and culture. This time, we arrived from Florence, which pays the price for its amazing cityscape and culture by being very busy. The Marche, by contrast, is so undiscovered, one comes across few other visitors and almost no large groups. A special experience this time was virtually having the Ducal Palace at Urbino, one of the finest renaissance buildings in all Europe with an amazing collection of pictures, almost to ourselves. As a break from the culture one can go walking in the mountains and see flowers, butterflies and birds in abundance.
As a base for these delights, La Pieve is absolutely perfect, a lovely, well-equipped and comfortable property with great private outdoor space and wonderful views in all directions. Peter and Richard are kind, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable hosts but not at all obtrusive.

Our two week stay in La Pieve was both restful and busy. Restful in that the location was idylic in the rolling hills of Le Marche and nestled in the foothills of Mt. Catria - and busy in that it was perfectly located to visit many of the sights and wonders of Le Marche,
Peter and Richard were the perfect hosts, appearing and offering assistance and suggestions when needed but invisible when not. They were able to introduce us to a dentist when we needed to seek dental treatment and their knowledge of Le Marche was invaluable.
La Pieve is a beautifuly restored and converted chapel and is extremely comfortable.
