House Or Rental
We rented this 16-bedroom villa for the wedding week from September 18-25. The villa has a large outdoor pool, a lemon garden and terrace overlooking the hills, a park with pine trees and lush vegetation, an open-air gym, a play area for children, a barbecue area with a wood oven outside, an area with a wood-burning oven inside, and multiple kitchens. The sixteen spacious rooms are equipped with all comforts and furnished with taste and passion. The villa is located just outside the urban center of one of the most beautiful art cities of the Marche region, overlooking the Macerata hills. It's less than an hour from the sea, less than twenty-minutes from the enchanted village of Elcito (the Tibet of the Marche), and five minutes from the historical center settempedano and the civic art gallery where works of Pinturicchio, Fratelli Salimbeni and other extraordinary artists are kept.
Travel Note
View the article below for a travel expert's take on the nine best airlines to fly to Italy. The closest airport to the villa is Ancona Falconara Airport (AOI) (1 hour away), but there are no direct flights to Ancona from the US. If you are looking for a direct flight to Italy, you may want to consider flying into the Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) (3 hours away).
