This is a large and beautiful holiday farmhouse set in a location to match. In the foothills of Mache’s northern Apennine range it offers tranquillity and beauty in equal measure. This old but well restored farmhouse is ideal for a large group of guests. The farmhouse has been divided in two spacious apartments which are opened up to make one private villa for 16 guests. A baby-cot and cleaning service can be provided. An extra service is the 'Chef-on-request' otherwise you can visit the nearby restaurant run by the owner. There is a private, landscaped lake within walking distance. Is has a large swimming pool measuring 6 by 14 m and a big garden of about 5000 m². The pool will be opened from 9th of May until 4th of October 2009.
At the higher end of town is a wonderful castle, originally built in the thirteenth century, given a facelift in the 1570s and now undergoing another restoration. It is open at weekends from June to September. Throughout the summer the town stages various events, including a polenta fete, a mushroom exhibition, a wine festival and a medieval pageant. Situated close to the borders with Tuscany, Umbria and Emilia-Romagna, Casatic is an ideal place from which to explore Marche and central Italy, with Perugia, Bologna, Florence, Assisi, Siena and Rome all day-trip possibilities. Yet there is also much to see and do closer to home. Just 20 miles away is the wonderful university town of Urbino, the birthplace of Raphael and the home of the Palazzo Ducale, an architectural masterpiece which houses Marche’s most important museum, the Galleria nazionale delle Marche.
