About this house rental

Il Castellano is a large country house, perfectly restored with respect to its original character. Situated in the San Ginesio district, it lies within half an hour of both the Adriatic coast and the Sibillini mountain range and National Park. It stands at roughly 450m above sea level in a very peaceful location in its own Mediterranean wood, and surrounded by a large lawn. The house sleeps 14 with 3 double rooms, 6 singles and one twin, with three bathrooms each with shower. There is a large swimming pool set amongst an olive grove with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.

There is a strong WiFi internet connection at the house.

Perhaps the most attractive feature are the woods which stretch behind the house for 5 acres, with pathways, benches and tables, ideal for picnicking, or just to enjoy the beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. All for exclusive use by the guests.


Outside the house.: Surrounding the house is a large area of land, part of which comprises the lawn, but mainly consisting of a wood set with walkways and paths. Surrounding the wood are fields, which are cultivated throughout the year. The whole area is beset by trees and shrubs of Mediterranean origin, such as oaks, Holm-oaks, olives, willows, fruit trees, and brooms.
Also, the area is populated by many animals, which roam freely: you can easily come across hares, pheasants, squirrels, deer, wild boar, porcupine, etc.
To the south of the house flows the Entogge stream, along which run paths accessible by foot or mountain bike which allow total immersion into the natural environment.
Otherwise you can simply relax and bathe in the sun, or read a book beneath the shade of a hundred-year-old oak tree.

Immediately around the house is an large garden with outside seating, sun chairs, umbrellas, a wood fire and BBQ for cooking, and an outside shower.

Horse-riding and tennis are both available nearby.
There is also a large swimming-pool as well as tennis courts in the nearby town of San Ginesio (10 mins by car).
A bank, chemist's, Post Office and supermarket are all available in both San Ginesio, and Colmurano.

3 families from Germany (aged 4 to 54) enjoyed staying here. Great landscape (take your bike with you if you are not afraid of short 20% climbs). Incredible pool with solar-shower (used every day for hours). We used the wood-fired oven a few times for perfect pizza. Communication with the owner (Marco) was perfect. Easy check-in and -out. Dont trust Googel: There is no road dividing the house from the pool. Dont drive with a Porsche 911 to the house - he will not have enough clearance. But every normal car will do. Back in Germany we miss the decelerated daily routine we had and the pool. If you like quietness, italian coffee and ice, if you dont need 5-star-hotel-service and a red carpet: Come here to visit !

Fantastisch

Wir haben als große Gruppe mit insgesamt 7 Kindern eine wunderbare Zeit in dem Haus verbracht. Es liegt ziemlich abgeschieden in einer wunderschönen Landschaft. Supermärkte und Cantinas sind aber in Reichweite (Auto nötig). Das Haus hat im Moment 8 Schlafzimmer, die alle auch bei hohen Temperaturen ein gutes Klima haben. Die Küche ist wunderbar groß. Man hat viel Platz, um sich beim Kochen auszubreiten. Auch der Pizzaofen und der Grill im Garten haben waren eine echte Bereicherung. Der Pool war natürlich ein Highlight. Besonders die Kinder waren mehr im Wasser als außerhalb. Nur das jüngste Kind in unserer Gruppe (6 Jahre) konnte nicht im Pool stehen. Im Garten gab es auch noch eine Tischtennisplatte, die oft von uns benutzt wurde. Der Pool wie auch alle anderen Teile des Hauses wurden von Marco, dem Verwalter, gepflegt. Alles war in bester Ordnung. Einen besseren Verwalter kann man nicht haben. Hilfreich und zuvorkommend in jeder Hinsicht. Wenn es Probleme gab, hat Marco sie sofort gelöst. Die Kommunikation mit Marco und auch dem Hausbesitzer, Gabriel, war dementsprechend sehr gut und unkompliziert. Gerne wieder! Viele Grüße!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. La maison est confortable et spacieuse. La piscine est top et très propre. Le plus est que les enfants ont pied partout et elle est n’est accessible que par une porte fermée. L’accueil du propriétaire et son fils Marco a été parfait, ce sont des gens très gentils, serviables et à l’écoute. Marco, avec qui nous avons sympathisé, nous a accompagné pour nous faire découvrir quelques spots magnifiques de la région. Si nous le pouvons, nous reviendrons sans hésitation ! Merci !

Mooi groot huis met zwembad in de Marche
Mooi groot huis met zwembad in de Marche
Il Castellano is een mooi groot huis in de heuvels van de Marche. Zeer geschikt voor grote groep en familie. Goede grote keuken met afwasmachine, twee zitkamers, sateliet tv en wifi. Drie nette badkamers met douche en wc en een goede wasmachine. Beetje kleine bbq, mooi groot overdekt terras. Flinke ruige omheinde tuin erbij. En een mooi groot zeer schoon zwembad. Het huis en zwembad staan tussen bomen en struiken wat enerzijds veel privacy geeft maar ook niet veel vergezichten. Eigenaren Mario en zoon Marco (spreekt goed Engels) zijn hele aardige en gastvrije gastheren die zeer behulpzaam zijn als dat nodig is. Enige verbeterpunt is het servies; er ontbreken soepkommen en bakjes voor toetjes e.d. Kortom, een aanrader voor grote groepen / gezinnen die willen genieten van het klimaat, de rust en de natuur van de Marche!

We loved our stay at Il Castellano which my brother booked for his 50th birthday. There were 14 family members in our party and with the 3 bathrooms we had plenty of room and space. Such a wonderful area to be in, sitting under the tree out the front of the villa, overlooking the valleys and mountains, its idyllic. The pool was really enjoyable and kept very clean by the filters. We had a bbq a lot of evenings (when we weren't out) and we ate outside altogether in the garden. The table in the kitchen was big enough for all of us for breakfast The kitchen was rustic and well equipped beware of the toaster though, you could start cooking the toast the day before lol Great to have a dishwasher and a washing machine which were well used The children enjoyed the games room and there were quite a few inflatables for them to enjoy in the pool The owner is very friendly, doesn't speak a word of English but happily chats away to you in Italian, funnily enough though most of the time we kinda got what he was saying The villa can't be found by satnav, but as we were met and showed where it was, it was easy to find from then on. There was a donkey and her baby on the road to the villa, they were there most days but not all, really cute San Ginesio has a market on Sunday to get the local produce but it is in driving distance, not walking distance We flew into Venice, which was about 4 and half or 5 hours drive, Rome was about a 3 hour drive away, we drove to Orto and took the train into Rome But there were some beautiful places to visit a lot closer, easier and quicker to travel to and it is not far to drive to the coast and to the many walled towns around the villa. A very comfortable villa, in a marvellous area of Italy
