Relax in the heart of the Italian Marche region, away from the hubbub of everyday life in this extraordinary historic villa. With the beach just a short drive away, you’ll be able to experience the thrill of the clear blue sea as well as the meditative qualities of the glorious views from the property.
Perched on the top of the Marchigian hills, the villa sleeps up to 14 guests over ten bedrooms. It also boasts ten beautifully decorated bathrooms, with a mix of showers, baths and bidets. Spread out over three floors, there is plenty of space for dining, lounging and relaxing, with a stunning lounge, TV room and, if you’re feeling more energetic, a billiard and gym room.
With the Italian countryside on your doorstep, you’ll want to spend as much time outdoors as possible. There are three hectares of fenced-off land for you to explore. Splash in the large swimming pool, challenge someone to a knockabout on the tennis court or lounge in the covered barbecue area. And there’s plenty for the whole family too, from table tennis to a children's play area. Outside is a reasonably sized consecrated chapel, making the villa and its grounds an ideal wedding venue.
When you’re lounging in the warm Italian sun, your mind is definitely going to drift to the Mediterranean food on offer. The villa’s kitchen is well equipped, but if you want someone else to take the strain, you can hook up with the private chef on offer (at an additional cost), or stroll to the local village for an authentic Italian meal at one of the restaurants. Famed for its organic food, the Marche region can keep your wine, cheese and olive oil cravings satisfied.
The nearest village is a five minute drive away where you will find restaurants and shops for your convenience. The nearest town is less than 15 minutes’ drive away and is a wonderful example of medieval and Renaissance architecture. Drive for half an hour and you could be at the historic seaside town of Civitanova Marche. Offering a quintessentially Italian experience, the fishing town has white sandy beaches and plenty of opportunities to grab a bite to eat in one of its cafés or restaurants.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa AllegriaVilla Allegria is perfectly located for a holiday hideaway, with plenty of options to explore the Italian countryside and seaside. In the heart of the Marche region, nestled between the Sibillini mountains and Adriatic coast, the province of Macerata has strikingly beautiful countryside and traditional Italian towns and villages, but without the crowds of Tuscany to the west.
The local village, around 3.5km away, offers restaurants and supplies, but you will also be within a 20-minute drive of some of the 200km of coastline the area has to offer. And this coastline has the highest number of Blue Flag beaches on mainland Italy, some of which are only accessible by boat.
The nearest airport is a 55km drive away just outside Ancona, and here you will also find the ferry port. If you’re feeling adventurous, in under two hours you could drive to San Marino and experience the historic architecture of this microstate.
Remember, this is Italy, and the music culture is thriving. Many towns in the region host music festivals in the summer, including those that showcase popular opera. Every summer in Macerata, around a 15-minute drive away from the villa, the Sferisterio opera festival is held in an al fresco arena, reminiscent of a Roman amphitheatre. If you want something quieter, then just 18km away is Urbisaglia where you can indulge your taste buds with some wine tasting.
If you want to explore the natural environment of the area, jump in the car and drive for just over an hour and you could be at Mount Sibillini National Park. Its highest peak reaches over 8,000ft above sea level, so no wonder that trekking is a popular activity here. You will also find areas perfect for rock climbing, and places to indulge in some more adrenaline-fuelled activities such as hang gliding and paragliding. Mountain bikers can explore the area on marked bike paths, but if you are after something less exhausting, a trip to the Sanctuary of Macereto is advised, where you can see some Renaissance architecture typical of the region. Lake Fiastra’s water is a deep blue colour, and you can marvel at the nearby waterfalls and Grotto dell’ Orso (or ‘Bear Cave’).

Region
Le Marche, a hidden gem in the heart of Italy, is a region that encapsulates the essence of both tradition and natural beauty. Nestled between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea, Le Marche offers an authentic Italian experience that is often overshadowed by its more famous neighbours. With its charming villages, rich history, and diverse landscapes, Le Marche is a destination that beckons those seeking a quieter, more authentic Italian experience.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesAway from the villa, the beach will be a real draw to children of all ages. The long stretch of white, sandy beach at Civitanova Marche is a focal point of the town, and great for paddling, building sandcastles or just lounging with a book.
If you want to head into the mountains, a trip to the Grotta Dei Frati (or Cave of the Friars) is recommended. Here you can take an easy path through the forest, following the signs to the cave where friars used to live as hermits. Rancia Castle, a half-hour drive from the villa to the west, is popular with children. They can march over the drawbridge and play on the battlements, looking out over the plains of the Marche. There are a couple of archaeological museums inside the castle too, as well as some models showing the battle of Tolentino in 1815.
If you drive south for around 50 minutes you will get to an incredible museum, offering a truly interactive experience for the children. Museum MITI focuses on the world of technology and the focus is on the children getting really stuck in. From the first computers to multimedia touch screen tables, who knew learning could be so fun?

Memorable stay
Dear Roberta, first of all, thanks a lot for your fabulous hospitality!
It was our third time at the Villa and we enjoyed it just as much as the two previous times. Thank you for making the past two weeks such a memorable stay for our whole family.
For sure the gorgeous sunsets we've watched from the upper terrace will stay in our memories forever. Thanks again for everything !
Looking forward to seeing you in the future.

Beautiful and huge
Beautiful mansion in the hills of the Marche region. The house is surrounded by a beautifully maintained park/garden area, the driveway from the gate past the chapel feels like from a movie set. The house itself is huge with uncountable different rooms. With a Pingpong table, Billiard, Tennis court, a huge Pool etc. there is all sort of entertainment you could ask for.
Kitchen is well equipped and big to accommodate the large amount of people that the house can host.
Can highly recommend this place if you want to spend a quiet week with lots of friends in a beautiful area. It feels completely secluded and private, but still you are very fast to reach the next towns for shopping or restaurants.

Coming since 2018
We started coming to this perfect Villa in 2018 and kept coming! The owner was perfect as well! thank you. See you next year.

Amazing and wonderful
Thank the owner so much for this wonderful time and her hospitality. This place is amazing and wonderful. This week of stories, laughter, amazing food, good life and good friends is about, thank you Roberta. I will never forget!

Fantastic house, host and location
We were 8 people and had a great time. The host is the perfect host and is always approachable. The house and the location are fantastic, the pool area is a delight. On the last evening, they organized two pizzaiolos for us to have a pizza tasting. We all agreed that these were probably the best pizzas we had ever been served - no exaggeration. So a perfect but unfortunately too short vacation came to an end with an authentic Italian evening. We'll be back next year.

Would have liked to stay longer
The villa is in an amazing panoramic position and offers everything you might need to enjoy a holiday in total privacy, surrounded only by nature and silence. The only sound is the singing of the cicadas, a magical place that we wanted to give to our daughter for her eighteenth birthday. We would have liked to have stayed longer but unfortunately we only spent one week which unfortunately flew by too quickly. Thanks for everything.
