Agriturismo Il posto delle viole

Il Posto delle Viole holiday farm is an ideal base for visiting the region of the Marche. All around is a stunning landscape of mountains, hills and rivers, steeped in the history of ancient Rome, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, with fascinating, unique towns and villages along the ancient Roman Via Flaminia from Cagli to the sea at Fano.

Il Posto delle Viole - farm holiday - offers its guests elegant apartments and traditional country cooking, while horses are available for wonderful excursions on hill and mountain paths.

The farm for your Holidays

Il Posto delle Viole is an elegant country residence set at the centre of a magnificent landscape in Le Marche Region.

Il Posto delle Viole is made up of:

• the Casa Gialla - the owners’ house;

• the Casa Rossa – a house with the apartments Lavinia and Maria Sole.

The houses are set in a large garden, bordered by rose and lavender bushes and with centuries-old trees (oak, walnut, mountain ash, mulberry, hazelnut, etc). Beyond is the uninterrupted horizon of the stunning landscape with mountains and hills, conjuring up an atmosphere of harmony and beauty.

The swimming pool

(12 x 6 m. with water filtered by an eco-friendly salt method) for guests in the Lavinia and Maria Sole apartments and the owners is at the centre of the garden and surrounded by roses. It is the ideal spot for adults to relax and for kids to have fun.

Not far away:

La Fornaceis an 19th-century building elegantly converted into four apartments called Asia, Viola, Iris and Rosa. La Fornace was rebuilt in the original east-west position and the Asia and Rosa apartments face west and the sunset, whereas the Viola and Iris apartments look to the east and the dawn.

The apartments are surrounded by a large garden with trees, hedges and flowers, where all the guests can enjoy large private spaces in peace and quiet.

The guests’ swimming pool

(12 x 6 m. with water filtered by an eco-friendly salt method) has a fully equipped solarium to provide relaxation, fun and the pleasure of the magnificent views of the Montefeltro mountains – the same unspoilt landscapes that inspired Raphael and Piero della Francesca.

Il Posto delle Viole holiday farm now has three new apartments with swimming pool at the Castello di Frontone.

Near the Castello di Frontone, 5 minutes and 2 km  away from our farm holidays, we have three new apartments with a swimming pool.

Set in magnificent natural surroundings between the Castello di Frontone to the east and the splendid scenery of Monte Catria to the south, the recently refurbished apartments are stylishly furnished and fully equipped with all mod cons. They are ideal for a holiday in an unspoilt area in which the local people have preserved their rural traditions and cultivate a taste for the “good life”.

For guests only, the swimming pool (12 m x 6 m) is in a large garden with magnificent views of the mountain and enjoys sunlight from dawn to dusk, when you can savour a fine white wine as evening sets in. Built with steps to make getting in and out of the water easy, the pool provides safe, fun swimming.

The apartments have a spacious gazebo where you can relax and enjoy food, which may also be prepared on the barbecue available for guests.

Called Oliva, Roberta and Marilena, the apartments all have stunning views of the mountains and the magnificent grey stone walls of the Castello di Frontone towering up from a wooded hill.

Next door to the apartments, a small restaurant provides a handy, easy alternative if you want to dine out in the evening rather than cook at home.

• all the apartments have wonderful views of the mountains and valleys. They are stylishly furnished and have all mod cons, free Wi-Fi and a spacious furnished veranda for each apartment set in large gardens offering plenty of space, privacy and peace and quiet;

Cuisine

On our farm we wish to share our love of cooking and wines, so next to the Casa Gialla we renovated and furnished a spacious portico, now the kitchen and dining room, where we cook evening meals only for our guests and organise tastings of organic farm products and the typical produce of small local and regional farms, guaranteeing the authenticity, typical nature and high quality of the food.
