Self-catering farmhouse apartment holidays in the heart of Le Marche
Discover Le Marche, a beautiful region on the Adriatic coast, full of Italian charm, rolling green hillsides, vineyards and olive groves.
L’Uliveto Staffolano offers access to the best of the Verdicchio wine country, with Mt. Conero and the spectacular Adriatic coast nearby 25km to the east, the Sibilini Mountains less than an hour to the south and west, Ascoli Piceno and Macerata (home of the summer opera festival at the famous open air Sferisterio Arena) to the south, and Urbino, the jewel of Le Marche, to the north.
This recently renovated farmhouse with two apartments and a pool is located at 442 meters above sea level in the foothills of the Sibilini mountains just 2km west of the picturesque village of Staffolo, one of the castelli dei Jesi or “castles of Jesi” made famous by the white wine vinified from the indigenous verdicchio grape, but an area also renowned for its olive oil production. The farm takes its name from the olive trees located on the property.
Immediately nearby to L'Uliveto Staffolano farmhouse is the medieval hilltop town of Staffolo, less than 2km distant. This charming village, built within and around medieval walls, has good restaurants, a grocery market, pharmacy, a bar, an enotecca, a weekly market, etc. Other nearby towns of Cupramontana, Apiro and Cingoli represent, along with Staffolo, the heart of the Le Marche wine, olive oil and farming country, but an area particularly known for the Verdicchio wine. In all of these towns and countryside, traditional Italian culture remains vibrant and rich. The people of the region are warm and welcoming.
Jesi, 20 minutes away, is the local center and offers museums, shopping, and music at the exquisite baroque Teatro Pergolesi, named for the famous 18th century composer and native son Giovanni Pergolesi. Child-friendly attractions such as the Eldorado water park near Apiro, the Indiana Adventure Park and Lago di Castreccioni between Apiro and Cingoli are close at hand. The Frasassi caves (largest in Europe) are just one half hour drive to the west. The Monte Conero riviera and the Adriatic beaches are less than an hour to the east. All of these, plus the beauty and tranquility of the farmhouse and its surroundings make this a perfect family vacation spot as well as a getaway for travelers wishing to get off the beaten path.
Whether your ideal holiday is adventure, culture, driving or cycling the countryside, exploring wine and cuisine, or simple relaxation, L’Uliveto Staffolano is an ideal get-away from the crowds, and a journey into the heart of rural Italy.
