The Experience

Through handsome wrought-iron gates from a convent in Tuscany and up the winding drive to a beautifully restored villa, built for a 17th-century nobleman. Behind is a young vineyard, to the side a simple chapel, an enchanting place for a wedding. Whether you come in summer for pool and gardens, or winter for heated floors and log fires, there’s masses of space for a party.

Find two sitting rooms, seven bedrooms and three storeys linked by a dramatic circular stair, dazzling white walls, sweeping floors in pale terracotta, chunky wooden ceilings (some sloping, some with a chandelier), and elegant pale painted furniture. Good mattresses top antique bedsteads, cream sofas are deep, bathrooms are gorgeous.

The kitchen has plenty of bells and whistles, lots of staples and views over the gardens – spill out for splashing in the pool, happy al fresco meals or games of ping-pong and football on balmy days.

Reviews

Catharine

A fabulous place for a holiday. We loved the imaginatively refurbished, spacious house, set in a peaceful garden, with excellent facilities and glorious panoramic views. This house has a soul and plenty of character, and was perfect for a big family get-together. The setting is truly gorgeous. It's hard to imagine a more beautiful region in the whole of Italy. We just hope we will have the chance to return one day.


Penelope

We had a wonderful stay at Monastero di Favari. The villa is beautiful and comfortable and the surroundings tranquil with stunning views. We found fantastic restaurants and local markets nearby, but really didn't need to go out much as we were so happy staying where we were and using the pool.. The children all loved it too.


Patrick

An exquisitely converted house, stunning views of Le Marche countryside from all points of the property, was the basis of a marvellous family holiday. Ages stretched from 7 to 70 and we all had the greatest time together at the Monastero and the surrounding area. You can feel the 'love', and the hard work, that has gone into creating a charming and beautiful 'home'. Thank you (and there is talk of going back soon !). Baci, Patrick and Wendy and Family.


Vincent

Wij hebben onze bruiloft hier gehouden. Een paradijs op aarde, prachtig huis, prachtig omgeving, hemelachtig. Hele aardige eigenaresse, goede verzorging en het oude klooster met het kapelletje is een prachtige omgeving om te verblijven. Netjes verzorgd, uitstekend ingericht. De tuin is groot met een mooi zwembad, het uitzicht wijds en like a fairytail. Het huis is van binnen heel mooi ingericht in 'oude stijl' met veel oog voor detail. In de tuin hebben wij 's avonds het avondmaal tijdens onze bruiloft gehouden. Een ware beleving die ons lang bij zal blijven.

We had a marvellous, relaxing time in this exclusive, luxury villa. Everything, both inside and out, is maintained to the highest possible standards. It has every modern facility you could wish for with lots of space and is elegantly and tastefully furnished throughout. It is in a beautiful, peaceful location with stunning panoramic views in all directions. The extensive swimming pool and surrounding grounds are an additional bonus. A marvellous choice for a group or extended family to unwind and explore this relatively unknown part of Italy.


Location

The neighbourhood

There's ping-pong and football on the grass, golf on the craggy Conero peninsula (unlike Le Marche's gentle Riviera) and riding stables in Apiro. Restaurants are close. Explore the famous Frasassi Caves, head to numerous historic towns and villages like Cupramontana, Cingoli, Loreto with its stunning cathedral and Macerata. You're 45 minutes from the coast.

Introducing

Camilla Wood

The 350-year-old villa and chapel had been an abandoned ruin for 50 years before Camilla found it in 2006 and lovingly renovated it. The plan was to make this her European base and build a vineyard project, but she ended up moving back to England where she started business as an independent wine merchant. She loves the house and comes to visit whenever she can. Neighbours are there if you need them.
