Nestled in the rolling hills of Marche, this home is the definition of rural charm. The 200-year-old farmhouse is now a charming, four-bedroom villa showcasing both modern amenities and traditional style. Admire the exposed wooden beams and fireplace in the living space, and take in the views from the master bedroom's private balcony – whoever takes this room is very lucky indeed. The garden is an attraction in its own right, with flourishing flowers and shaded dining areas where you can enjoy breakfast in the morning. Relax by the pool with a book and soak up the views, returning to the house only to rustle up lunch in the kitchen to enjout in the conservatory, one of our favourite spots. If it's even possible, the gardens perhaps look more charming after the sun goes down, when the pool lights up and lamps cast the trees in a warm glow. Gather out here for a barbecue, and afterwards curl up in the historic living room for a nightcap. While this home's charm comes from its rural location, you're just a twenty-minute drive from Pesaro, a coastal city where you can visit palaces and take to the many cycling trails.
