It was a pleasure to spent a time at Casciano villa. We have great time with our friends and kids (6x adults, 5x kids: 4-10 years old). Pool area, amazing views, beautiful garden, relaxing atmosphere. Silent and nature- if you like it- this is a place for you:) In my opinion kitchen is well equipped, 3 bathrooms are available with shower and bathtubs, with washing machine, villa is really clean. There are a stone stairs inside (for families with small babies it might be challenging). Property owner provided a lot of tips and useful recommendations, at any time we could count on constant support. Thank you :)

The house is renovated in a very pleasant way. It is spacy and holds what you need. A lovely swimming pool, nice large garden, beautiful view, and very quiet. We had excellent communication with the owner and the local vontact person. Highly recommendable place for a stay for a larger group of people.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Villa Cascaino! The location is excellent for exploring all of the small towns nearby, as well as exploring beach areas on the coast. The house is spacious and the pool is extremely relaxing, particularly on the hot days. The kitchen/dining room area is very large and was able to accommodate our large group. The host and caretaker were incredibly helpful and quick to respond, both in advance of the trip and during it. We had a minor issue with the cleaning that was done in advance of our arrival but it was handled quickly and professionally by the caretaker and the cleaners. The recommendations from Brian for restaurants, markets, etc. were great and we had many amazing meals and experiences. I think the only thing we'd change is updating a couple of the mattresses as some were a bit newer than others. But that certainly didn't impact the enjoyment and tranquility of the villa and the area. If you are looking to see Italy in a less touristy way and unplug, this was an amazing place to do it. Thank you for a great trip!

We hade a great stay in the villa during 9 unusually hot days in June. The fans in the bedrooms were definitely needed. We were 3 families 6 adults and 7 teenagers between 16-19. At the outdoor eating area we had both breakfasts and many home cooked dinners. The kitchen was quite well equipped and it was great with 2 ovens when we were so many. The slow two slice toaster was on the other hand a nuisance in the mornings. There was also something wrong with the electricity in the kitchen area because if you were bare foot and touched the dish-washer or the oven handle you felt a sting of electricity. We mentioned this on our second day at the house and were told that an electrician would come and fix it but it was not sorted in the 9 days we were there. No cleaning of the house or the pool during the whole time either which should have been done once a week according to the ad. Still we would recommend this house which is located beautifully overlooking an open hilly landscape.

La maison est très confortable, calme au milieu de la campagne, mais permet de multiples visites à 100 km à la ronde. Toutefois le chemin d'accès (le plu efficace par Petriolo, sinon le gps vous perd dans la campagne) est un peu pénible: il faudrait un sérieux élagage des haies pour éviter les rayures sur les véhicules. Dans la propriété elle-même le petit virage d'accès en pente avant la maison devrait être garni de macadam: heureusement il a fait beau, et nous n'avons eu droit qu'à de la poussière, mais en cas de pluie...?. L'arrivée s'est déroulée comme prévu, i-e en suivant les instructions du propriétaire sans personne à l'accueil. Mais nous aurions aimé qu'un correspondant local s'informe de notre arrivée (comme cela s'est passé dans d'autres locations précédentes) et des problèmes éventuels! Même chose au départ. On laisse les clefs à l'endroit indiqué, mais personne ne s'inquiète de savoir si vous êtes parti, et si vous avez des remarques à faire . Nous avons arrosé plusieurs fois les fleurs (malgré l'arrosoir percé et le pistolet d'arrosage détérioré) et laissé la maison très propre, mais sans témoin pour le constater (quid de la caution?). Nous aurions pu signaler d'autres détails, comme une rampe d'éclairage dans le séjour qui ne fonctionnait pas (ainsi qu'une applique murale), le manque de ventilation dans la salle de bain du rez-de-chaussée, le nombre insuffisant de verres (ne serait-ce que pour l'esthétique du spritz) et de poêles à frire (une seule pour huit ou plus, l'attente des oeufs sur le plat et du bacon pourrait briser de vieilles amitiés dès le matin), le reste de l'équipement étant très complet. Tous ces petits inconvénients n'entament pas pour autant la satisfaction que nous avons éprouvée de ce séjour dans cette maison de Petriolo. A recommander.

We were a group of 6 adults + 5 children, and loved our stay at Villa Casciano, in the beautiful Marche’s countryside. The house is charming and comfortable, and provides generous space for large groups; the swimming pool and the garden are very pleasant and the views are beautiful! Contact with Brian was very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommended!

Huis ligt werkelijk waar prachtig, je kijkt mooi weg op de zonnebloemvelden. Heerlijk zwembad, fijne keuken om met veel mensen in te koken. Laatste stuk onverharde weg vraagt wel wat stuurkunsten. We hebben wel wat kussens voor op de buitenstoelen, wat planken en scherpe messen gemist.

We were a group of 13 adults and an infant and the farmhouse suited us beautifully . We loved the property , the location and the stunning views. The big dining table was a ht and we shared some lovely meals at it including a delicious 4 courses supplied by max the chef and a wonderful lasagne cooked by him and delivered to us to heat up. we can recommend booking him. Brian was very patient with our numerous questions and arranged a welcome pack for us due to or late arrival on the saturday evening. 10 out of 10 for his help and communication The La marche region was really worth exploring, so many beautiful villages and we had a relaxing day at the coast too. Thank you Brian for sharing your property with us
