Do you know what quilting is? The art of quilting, in short, consists of making cushioned covers from pieces of fabric, forming different kinds of patterns. To hold the pieces together, as you will have noticed, you need the cover to go across different stitchings, which also serve a decorative purpose. The final result is usually an enormous square made of fabric, which can represent a composite abstract image, or a kind of “pictorial” cycle that tells its own real story.

So, imagine that Le Marche is one huge...

Relais Villa Fornari

Choosing to visit the ancient churches found in the villages of the countryside of Le Marche and pausing at Relais Villa Fornari in the heart of Marche, allows one to make unique every experience and discovery in locations where the heart skips a beat whilst the betrothed share with each other – and together with loved...

Those of you who choose to leave your mark on our Itineraries of Amore and Armonia will need somewhere to catch your breath, because when life is lived to the full it’s inevitable that fatigue will set in; a satisfying exhaustion that sends you to bed content and weightless. That’s why I’ve decided to remind you of the places that will be available upon your journey....

Cantinone

One of the most famous miracles that everyone knows is the tale of the Wedding at Cana, when Jesus transformed water into wine. It may seem blasphemous to say so, but with my natural (and perhaps overzealous) tendency to look for connections between things, it was that very sensation that popped into my head when I first set foot in the Cantinone B&B and Holiday Apartments, owned by Jane and Ian. Allow...

A high quality example of tourist reception in Le Marche.

The charm of a place can be measured in many ways, one of which I like to call “la prova della pioggia” - 'the rain test'. If you think about it, many great cities such as Paris, Rome and New York, are as beautiful in the rain as they are the sun - perhaps even more so. In Rome, you can find yourself caught in a downpour and soaked to the skin, but such is the beauty that radiates all around that you can’t help but feel happy, liberated. The same thing happened to us at Riserva Privata San Settimio.

GocceCamarzano

If it is true that behind every great man is a great woman, it is equally true that behind every welcoming, well-kept and efficiently run B&B is a great woman. Great women carry beauty with them, they can do anything they truly want. You may ask yourselves why I’m offering such a premise and it’s simply because there’s no other introduction I can give to Patrizia Balducci, owner of the Gocce di Camarzano B&B in Moscano, Fabriano. Not only is she the charming owner...

Why Le Marche? www.loveitaly.co.uk

“The lesser-known Marche (pronounced mahr-key) region is in the calf of Italy's long, tapering boot, next to the 'Chiantishire' of Tuscany and Umbria.

Here towns are on a human scale where life is slow and gentle and where the shining star is Urbino - the model of courtly life.


Those in the know come to The Marches in search of authentic Italy, set in a rural idyll of snow-capped peaks, rolling hills and meadows cloaked with olive groves and vineyards, charming old villages and plenty of splendid
walking and hiking country.

With an Adriatic coastline of 180 kilometres there are beaches for everyone - from the big, lively seaside centres such as
Pesaro, the region's provincial capital, to the smaller resorts, such as pretty Sirolo on the Conero peninsula.

'On the slopes of the Apennines, almost in the centre towards the Adriatic, is situated the little city of Urbino.. This jewel of a renaissance city remains little changed from the days when Duke Federico of Montefeltro set up his celebrated court here in the late 15th century.

Urbino's rose-coloured buildings are bathed in golden light high up among the mountains as if in a time warp.  

Just to the south is the courtly little town Cagli, framed by the twin peaks of Monte Acuto and Monte Catria, some of the highest peaks in the northern Le Marche area - an unspoiled wilderness with views to sigh for. Cagli's fame dates back over two thousand years when it was an important staging post on the Via Flaminia, one of Ancient Rome's most travelled roads.

You can still see the Roman grid plain in the town today where all roads lead to the central piazza. … More >

The story of a tearoom in Le Marche ….


The story of the tearoom in a old cantinone begins a long time ago…


When Jan & Jane left New Zeland to find their dream home, they arrived to the Vecchio Cantinone of Cupramontana, they were happy and did understand that they just arrived on the right place where dreams be fulfilled and they  now live there. Marche Country Homes


“...On our first viewing, Grazia met us at the property, showed us all over the accessible areas and gave us an insight into the history of the building.  Then we went on to see 7 more properties all in a day. (…)”
Jane, 20 may 2001  www.cantinone.co.uk
 

Since then, after two years of projecting and restructuring the old cantinone, Jan & Jane did realize  their project of a Bed & Breakfast with tea house to start a touristic welcome activity in the Marche region, the region they chose for reinvent their live. Where to Stay

The old cellar, with the surrounding great area on a rich territory of  fruit trees and blackberry and raspberry, abandoned thirty years ago ,is now Il Vecchio Cantinone, an elegant patronal house in stone with swimming-pool, which came back to life on the sweet hills of Cupramontana, village, where on the beginning ‘900 began the cultivation of vineyard for the production of the bitter white wine , the Verdicchio of  Castelli di Jesi, which did permit to notice the Marche region all over the world.

When Jane did become more familiar about the territory in which she lives,  she changed idea about the tea house…. in her marchisan paradise and then decided that she would hold alive the historical vocation of the old cantinone and in the underground locals she would realize a stock of vintage wines where promote the local enological delicious, from the Verdicchio (white wine) to the Rosso Conero (red wine of the Conero Area) Rosso Lacrima (red wine of the Morro d’Alba Area), from the Falerio (white wine of the Southern Le Marche Area) to the Rosso Piceno (red wine of the Piceno Area), from the vino di visciola to the golden passitiMarche Food & Wine - The Shop

Your stay in our recommended accommodation

  

A green Experimental Ecologic Model didactic farm

"The stylish business card I got in the tourist office located a short way from the sea, read like this: MES – EXPERIMENTAL ECOLOGIC MODEL Didactic Farm– Agriturismo
What a curios name I thought. I could not well define the place…is it just an Agriturismo or a Farm?
On the back of the card there was a nice image. It recalled a medieval miniature portraying a man and a woman dressed in pale pink. They were in front of a wheat field. The ears of wheat were so high and so thick as to be predominant in the scene…I later found out that wheat plays an important role at MES. The didactic laboratories are in fact all centred on wheat, flour and bread. Schools are invited to participate. Children are involved in the project through enjoying stories, and activities. Meetings are then organized to discuss on olive oil production, the ecology of the woods and organic agriculture. This is the way MES hopes to hand down to children love and respect for the countryside and nature.
MES – EXPERIMENTAL LOGIC MODEL was launched in 1988 as an experimental organic farm. The name is due to the origins. Later on, the place was restored respecting the original rural architecture. Two apartments and a double room were furnished in order to welcome guests.
The swimming pool has been installed in the wood. The atmosphere is so very quiet and peaceful. The woods have been preserved and taken care of to protect the natural habitat of several animals. At MES you can swim, practice some archery, have a walk in the woods, have a ride, attend taj-chi, cookery, Italian, painting courses. You can also just relax sitting under the patio or in the stylish living room. There are several books on the bookshelves: classics, novels, philosophy and anthropology writings." [A.A.

I cannot thank you enough for your part in orgnanising the Most fantastic holiday.  I can picture it vividly ( even back at my desk) - walking out to see the stars and feeling right on the edge of the world, the freshest venison arriving, proseco by the pool, climbing over the ridge and seeing the whole valley reaching away beneath us - all of course sustained by the most decadently delicious food! Actually I can also still taste that pigs cheek ham, ooo and the figs with cheese, and the pizza and the pecorino and the grilled courgettes and the tiramisu and the polenta... Our hosts were delightful and the whole thing went incredibly smoothly.
