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.

Kelda and Mike were wonderfully attentive and sociable hosts and we had a really fun 6 day stay with them. Their home is beautiful and very relaxing in the most peaceful location. Kelda's food is absolutely wonderful and we enjoyed eating together and chatting with a glass of wine. The local area has many interesting and beautiful villages, and of course there are endless lovely places to eat as well. We would recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing break in beautiful surroundings!

Kelda and Mike very kindly accommodated us for a night as we drove south. The house is nestled in the hillside with beautiful views in every direction. It’s a comfortable home and we were made to feel incredibly welcome by Kelda when we arrived. In the evening she cooked us a superb meal and we had a lovely evening chatting and sharing stories. Both she and Mike are excellent hosts and we left feeling we’d made new friends. We will definitely be back - to stay longer next time!

Casale Volepe is located at the end of a country lane, it is peaceful, the air is clean and quiet and the view across Le Marche is stunning! And yet everything you need is close by, fabulous hilltop towns, including the magnificent Sibbilini mountains, genuine Italian restaurants, where you will find yourself dining with only locals! Kelda and Mike went out of their way to assist us with daily touring and restaurant suggestions, booking restaurants for us and ensuring that we knew how to get there. Breakfasts were all house made using fresh local farm ingredients.

David, Broadstone, Dorset Sep 2023

Super comfortable room in a lovely house with beautiful views. Kelda's breakfasts and evening meals are really delicious and Kelda and Mike are very good company. The fact that they have made themselves part of the local community make their recommendations for restaurants and places to visit particularly useful.

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.
