‘La Torre’ is a former water tower which has been tastefully converted into delightful holiday accommodation. Situated within the Marotti Campi estate, close to the family villa, the tower is set amongst gently rolling hills with spectacular views towards the mountains and the sea. The tower has it’s own private entrance,parking and large gardens. Although the tower is in a very rural area, we are just 12km from Ancona airport and also the same distance from the train stations at Jesi and Senigallia. The beach can be reached in 15 minutes by car.
‘La Torre’ consists of four floors and has both an internal spiral staircase and an elevator. Ground floor – kitchen/dining area. First floor – double bedroom plus bathroom with jacuzzi bath. Second floor - bedroom with two single beds plus double sofabed. Bathroom with large shower. Third floor – lounge with panoramic views of 360° over the beautiful Marche landscape towards the mountains and the sea.
The ‘Country House’ is 5km from the village of Morro D’Alba,an old fortified village. The village walls are pentagonal with six ramparts,you can stroll around the walls and enjoy views out to the Adriatic sea. The ‘Scarpa’ is the only example in Italy of a covered control path stretching along the entire fortified wall. The remains of two Roman villas have been found near the town. The prestigius wine ‘Lacrima’ takes its name from Morro D’Alba. There are also many other fortified towns and villages closeby. We are just 12km away from the beach resort of Senigallia and approximately 30 km from the National Park of Monte Conero with fine beaches and villages. There are walks and mountain bike routes from the town.
