Fabulous Italian Country House
Recently opened we discovered this by chance. What a fabulous location, apartment and welcome we received. Bob and Ian our hosts did everything possible to make our stay as wonderful. The views from the property are stunning and the apartments have all been done to a very high standard. Le marche is relatively undiscovered and long may it stay like this.

Idyllic Italian farmhouse
We're just back from 2 utterly enjoyable and relaxing weeks at the Casal dei Fichi, a beautifully restored farmhouse in Le Marche, Italy. The house has been restored very sympathetically and to very high standards. The countryside is gorgeous - medieval villages nestling on just about every hill top, and you can admire the view as you sit by the pool sipping a glass of the local Verdicchio.
The local village - Francavilla d'Ete is small but very pretty and the locals are very helpful and friendly.
We highly recommend a stay at Bob & Ian's fabulous farmhouse. They have 2 adorable dogs - Balzo & Hattie - who will keep you entertained and might adopt you for the week. You might also get a chance to try your pizza making skills - great fun eating your creation under the starry sky.

Pizza and hattie the dog!
Found this by asking a work colleague... a super surprise, appartments well kitted out, lots of lovely extra touches, the pool and gardens are fantastic, our two year old was up and out, very eager to get in the pool.... The beaches and mountains are not far away so it is possible to split your days between the two. Well off the beaten track, if you want to see real, rural Italy, this friendly, beautiful spot is the one for you. We are returning for two weeks this summer, our now three year old is keen to see Hattie the dog again and we are looking to just chill!

An idyllic retreat
We have enjoyed may holidays in Italy. This accommodation is one of the best if not the very best . Bob and Ian couln't have been more helpful...great hosts. The setting is idyllic in this unspoilt part of Italy. Many interesting places to visit in the locality to suit all tastes ...or just some time lazing around the pool . . We loved visiting the many different restauarants in the area . We look forward to our return visit !!

What a wonderful holiday!
We hadn't been to Le marche before and hadn't been back to Italy for some time. We had sadly become imune to the delights of Spain and had wanted to find somewhere more authentic.
The area is fabulous (don't tell anyone). A mixture of history, architechure, culture, countryside, sea and FOOD!! The prices were surprisingly reasonable, the people were lovely and we only met (aside from our hosts) two people that spoke English - Hurrah!!!
The house is lovely and has been beautifully and lovingly restored, It has stunning views, a super pool, quiet but not too out of the way and Bob and Ian are the most genuine people that you could hope to meet and they are doing a fantastic thing here.
We will be back, hopefully ASAP.

It worked for us!
Chanced upon Casal Dei Fichi when looking for somewhere
to stay in Le Marche. An amazing piece of luck!
Bob and Ian are impeccable hosts, but they need do nothing. The apartments are well equipped, the scenery is breathtaking and the swimming pool is perfect! Add picture book medieval towns and great food, and "real Italy" beckons.
We only saw one British car in a week. We have persuaded two families to go next summer and we keep telling anyone who will listen.
Go now before the rest of the chattering bourgeoisie discover Le Marche and move on from Tuscany and Umbria!

Heaven is a place on Earth
We discovered this amazing place by luck. We stayed in July with the temperatures in the 40's and loved it so much we came back in September. Looking to book for this Summer. The place is magical, to lay round the pool with the amazing views, wow. We got engaged on our visit in Spetember and a party was thrown by the most wonderful hosts Ian and Bob, fireworks aswell. They make you feel special. the apartments are wonderful my only compliant was that there was no cocktail shaker !!!. A truely special place.

great views
Hosts Bob & Ian have put their heart and soul into breathing new life into this wonderful historic italian farmhouse. They have created a lovely relaxing place to visit, a high standard of accomodation with pool and fantastic views across the rolling italian landscape. I spent a long weekend admiring the views, taking in the history and atmosphere of the nearby hill top towns and sampling the local ice cream. If your looking for a relaxing italian hide away Casal dei Fichi will impress.

Recherche de les temps perdu
We had a wonderful honeymoon at Casal Del Fichi. (CDF). Ian and Bob helped arrange a blessing at the local church and a great (endless) meal at the local restuarant.
The room was not just a room, it had a great kitchen, a dining area and fantastic facilties all round. We used CDF as a base to explore, and days flew by.
A beautiful place to stay, a wonderful holiday.

Sit back and relax
Coming from the other side of the world to visit family and friends in the UK is always hectic, and this year we were determined to have a few quiet days away with my family. Francavilla was perfect. The apartments were spacious, clean and well appointed. The kids (3 and 5) loved the pool, and I loved relaxing by the pool even more. There was sufficient sightseeing to keep everyone happy and plenty of good restaurants close to home.
Ian and Bob were fantastic hosts, giving us plenty of direction on what to see, do and eat - and the whole family loved their pizza evening! The kids had a great time, and we look forward to visiting Ian and Bob at Francavilla again in the future.
Our only regret ... that we don't live close enough to visit for short breaks during the year. I would love to sit back with a glass of red by a roaring winter fire, or visit during one of the many local summer festivals.
