The impressive Casa Serena has been sympathetically restored, retaining a wealth of original features; it is a rustic, traditional, spacious and inviting 5 bedroom Marchigianan farmhouse with an adjoining one bedroom self contained apartment. The house is set in 5 acres of beautiful private grounds boasting a walnut grove and numerous fruit trees. French doors open onto terracing which encircle the house and border the landscaped gardens and pool terrace. There is a beautiful loggia accessible from the kitchen, via French doors, for 'alfresco' dining. The extensive lawn merges with a meadow that stretches beyond to the Saline river at the foot of the valley, perfect for country walks and spotting the local wildlife. The stunning swimming pool is for the exclusive use of our guests and boasts enchanting views along the valley and a classic Italian vista composing white road and cypress encircled distant hillside villa, the tranquility and privacy create the perfect environment for a relaxing, sun soaking holiday.
