The Hideaway is located in a quiet valley in Villa Conti, a peaceful little village between Amandola (6 miles) & Comunanza (2 miles) in Le Marche.
The attractive spa town of Sarnano is only 15 miles away & we are ideally situated for both the ski resorts at Sassotetto & the beaches of the Adriatic (both within a 40 minute drive).
Our nearby town of Amandola has a beautifully porticoed main square where you can sit outside one of the cafes & enjoy a coffee before wandering up through the old town's cobbled streets to view the stunning Monte Sibillini.
Nothing can be more beautiful, whatever the season, from the crisp snow in the winter to the Sibillini National Park with its carpet of Spring flowers. The sandy beaches of Grottammare & San Benedetto are inviting in the Summer & the Gola dell’Infernaccio makes a stunning Autumn ramble.
The Monti Sibillini National Park covers nearly 2 million acres with some of the highest mountains in the Appennines, (Monte Vettore being the highest at 2,476m). The park offers walks of all levels to some of the most delightful yet least discovered areas in the whole of Italy.
From the huge expanse of the Piano Grande, a vast natural plain surrounded by mountains to the Gola di Infernatio with it's stunning waterfalls and sheer rock faces, to the high mountain lake Lago di Pilato, where according to legend Pilate's body was dumped.
Legend tells us how Pontius Pilate, whilst awaiting execution, asked that fate decided his final resting place. His corpse was sent unescorted from the gates of Rome on a wagon. The oxen made their way to the Sibilline Mountains, straight up to the lake, where they dived in and disappeared. Small rare shrimps turn the lake pink in the summer months - some say it represents the blood of Pilate!
So, if you are looking for a tranquil place full of legends and history, where by day you are surrounded by beautiful scenery and eagles circle overhead and by night the fire flies dance in the darkness of a warm summer evening, well look no further - Welcome to Le Marche.

Thank you Sarah & Mark for a great holiday and making us so welcome - especially the kids who love the squirrel, toad houses etc, plus all the little extras in the house which made them feel special. Added bonus was supplying us with a baby sitter for a night - whew! We had some wonderful adventures and will recommend you to lots of family and friends xxxx J & D & J & V September 2008
I returned to experience the lovely Autumnal colours. It's been a great 10 days with lovely sunshine and temperatures of 21oC - 24oC. (Autumn mist just 2 days). Visit to Smerillo for Chestnut Festival - well worth a visit but very busy - cars everywhere and lots of food! Really enjoyable stay again. Thank you Sarah and Mark. GY October 2008
