There’s also a tennis court open all year round, a yoga studio and a fire pit for toasting marshmallows as the sun goes down. The estate grows its own fruit and vegetables and makes olive oil from the 400 olive trees; a perfect place to create the best treasure hunt ever. Not forgetting a pizza oven, a ping pong table and a table football table. Why not bike down to the local town and beach (car free for most of the way)? There are a few bars and kids’ playgrounds en route. The 13th-century old town of Civitanova Alta is a 15-minute walk and here you can enjoy delicious homemade gelato.

You’ll be located outside the medieval village of Civitanova Alta in the region of Le Marche. One of Italy’s most unspoiled and picturesque regions, Le Marche is nestled between the dramatic Sibillini mountains and the coastline of the Adriatic Sea, offering all the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of Tuscany, but without the crowds. This family-friendly destination has plenty to do including paddleboarding on the sea; learning to sail (10 mins away from the villa); bike-riding on a purpose built bike path to the sea; exploring the largest underwater cave network in Europe at Fracassi Caves; and hiking in the natural coastal reserve of Conero area or Sibilini mountains.

Style Notes
Pared down elegance and modern luxury. The estate's Villa Castelle and Villa Castelletta are both restful retreats, equipped for special gatherings with family and friends. Furnished to a high standard, you’ll find an inspiring mix of contemporary and classic design such as crystal pendant chandeliers, distressed bronze coffee tables and ceramics. Natural stone floors sit harmoniously with restful color schemes, while reclaimed antique materials contrast beautifully with unique pieces of art and sculpture. The living spaces have BOSE built-in speaker systems with Bluetooth connectivity and floor-to-ceiling glass doors connect the outside and inside living spaces. We love the hammocks near the outside eating area and outdoor kitchen; the handmade, bespoke beds designed by local artisans in Le Marche; and the wonderful linen-covered pagoda with olive-grove views.

Le Marche, Italy
Italy’s hidden secret
Bordering Umbria to the northeast and running 100 miles along the Adriatic Coast to the border with San Marino, Le Marche is Tuscany’s lesser known cousin. Expect medieval hill towns, Renaissance art, open air opera and rustic trattoria plus a wonderful coastline. Kids will love the water parks, Dinosaur Park, caves and butterfly gardens, along with quirky local events, including wheelbarrow racing with frogs.
