Casa Cerro

Price: From £895

Located near Amandola, Marche, Italy

Farmhouse, sleeping 6 to 8 guests, with private garden and swimming pool (8x4m)

This is a lovely old property set in a private position with spectacular views from the house and swimming pool, perfect for a family wanting to relax in some of Marche's most charming scenery.

The property is within the Monti Sibillini National Park, a vast park covering nearly 2 million acres, making it the third biggest in Italy. There is a considerable variety of terrain and landscape. Great walks begin from your doorstep and there are ancient woodlands all around.

There are dozens of footpaths throughout the area, marked and described on maps available in the information centres in all the towns and villages in the park. There are also peaks with a truly alpine character, like Monte Bove, whose formidable north face offers climbing for mountaineers.

The house itself is ten minutes drive from Amandola, a town of 4,000 inhabitants with a beautifully porticoed main square. There you can sit outside one of the bars and enjoy an aperitivo before walking up to the town's highest point to take in the stunning views of Monte Sibillini and Vettore.

Sarnano is also close at hand and provides a wonderful summer retreat complete with its spa baths, still used to this day by to treat a range of medical ailments. It also provides a base to the many skiers that flock to the park's pistes in the winter months.
