The Experience

Start the day with breakfast as late as you like (within reason): eggs from the hens, tomatoes from the garden, and homemade breads and jams. End the day in a deckchair listening to the birds, with a crisp glass of local wine.

This attractive eco re-build is shared with your hosts and two handsome moggies. Mike is mad about cycling, Kelda adores cooking, and they are as self-sustainable as can be. There’s a big friendly table for seasonal dinners, an outdoor oven for homemade pizzas, and bedrooms with rolling Marche views. Visit the evening flea market in Fermo. Hike and bike in the sublime Sibillini park; Mike will happily guide you.

Wherever you are, there’ll be a food ‘sagra’ nearby – perhaps in Sant’Angelo in Pontano. This small historic town, five minutes up the hill, has a good little restaurant with an amazing view. Head for the terrace of Diulia.

Reviews

Kelda and Mike couldn't be more welcoming and their home more peaceful. They are a mine of information about anything to do with local food, and wine, the best cycle rides, walks and will spoil you on your return with a wonderful home-cooked meal. Perfect.

Fabulous 3 night stay at the end of September. The weather was a bit cool but we still managed a pool day. The location is beautiful, very tranquil and was a lovely finish to my Italian holiday. Kelda cooked us an amazing 3 course dinner on the first night and the breakfasts were delicious. Would definitely recommend, and hope to visit again.

Jason & Catherine, Reigate Sep 2026

We had a superb stay with Mike & Kelda at Casale Volpe. We were taking part in the 5 Mila cycling granfondo in nearby Porto Recanati and knew that Casale Volpe would be the perfect place stay having stayed here before a few years ago. Also to introduce our friends to Le Marche and all its delights. Breakfast outside accompanied by Ernie and Herbert their lovely cats was delightful and the evening meal cooked and prepared by Kelda was fabulous. The house is wonderful full of considered details and the landscape is super tranquil and beautiful. We’ll be back soon as this trip was too short.

Michael, Lisbon Aug 2026

Staying at Casale Volpe was an unforgettable experience. Kelda and Mike were fantastic hosts, warm and attentive from the moment we arrived. The property itself is stunning — serene, calming, and set against gorgeous views of Le Marche. The trip was extra special for my wife and me, as we were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary — and Casale Volpe turned out to be the perfect place for it. We took a cooking class and learned to to make several dishes from scratch. We'd go back in a heartbeat!

Kirsten, Santa Monica Jun 2026

We had a wonderful stay at Casale Volpe and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The hosts were incredibly kind, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. They were especially helpful in sharing excellent recommendations and local insights that made our visit even more enjoyable. The property itself was beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable, providing the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. To top it all off, each morning we were treated to a delicious home-cooked breakfast.

Location

The neighbourhood

The house lies at the bottom of a winding lane, surrounded by woods, fields, wildlife and views. Keen cyclists can hire bikes - make the most of Mike's knowledge. If you love wine, they book tastings for you; Fattoria Dezi at Servigliano (12km) is the nearest. 5km up the hill, in Sant'Angelo in Pontano, are shops and two bars with wine and beer on tap. Discover lovely local food at Ristorante La Torre.

Local points of interest from Mike Curtis & Kelda Wallis

We are a 40 minute drive from the mountains and a 45 minute drive from the coast, which means two holidays for the price of one. Swim in the Adriatic and eat seafood on the beach, then swim in a lake in the mountains and eat local cheese and prosciutto.
You're a stunning 40 minute drive to Lago Fiastra, with its acqua blue fresh water, perfect for swimming, renting a canoe or pedalo. Cool off in the clear mountain water before heading to the pizzeria for lunch, just a few short steps away.
Spend a day wine tasting in some of the local, family-run vineyards, all within a short 30 minute drive. At a fraction of the price of some of the better known wine regions, you're likely to discover your new favourite tipple.
In the surrounding villages, there are literally hundreds of food festivals, or sagre throughout summer and autumn. It's the perfect opportunity to get a sense of village life here, whilst dancing with the locals and celebrating some of their best dishes.
Spend a few days walking or hiking in the fabulous Sibillini National Park. Lago di Pilato, Foce di Montemonaco, Gola dell'Infernaccio and Lame Rosse are walks that all start around a 30-60 minutes' drive away. We can even pack you off with a picnic.
The Sferisterio in Macerata, a medieval hilltop town 35 minutes' drive away is a wonderful neoclassical open-air opera house and home of the Macerata Opera Festival, which takes place throughout July and August.

Introducing

Mike Curtis & Kelda Wallis

The owners planned to move to the south of France, but fell in love with Marche instead. They have happily relocated, along with cats Ernie and Herbert. They love this farmhouse with its vegetable garden and nine acres of land, and could not be more welcoming.
