Le Spiazzette

Le Spiazzette is a lovingly restored farmhouse and converted hay barn with breathtaking panoramic views of the Sibillini Mountains and the rolling fields and foothills of the border country between the provinces of Ascoli Piceno and Macerata in Le Marche, Italy.

Set in 20 hectares of its own unspoilt farmland, the holiday home is the perfect countryside retreat for anybody who wants to relax in the Italian countryside.

Guests can also enjoy spectacular views of the Sibillini Mountains whilst relaxing beside the swimming pool.

Le Spiazzette is also the perfect base for exploring the local surroundings - the National Park of the Sibillini Mountains, renowned for its rare flora and fauna , is a stunning destination for walkers or hikers in the spring and summer, and is popular with skiers and snow boarders in the winter. Sassotetto, Le Marche’s main ski resort, is close to Sarnano and has easy slopes ideal for beginners or family groups.

Nearby Amandola and the spa town of Sarnano are charming medieval hilltop towns and provide all amenities and shops, as well as excellent restaurants serving delicious local delicacies such as porcini mushrooms and truffles.

The National Antiques Fair is held annually in the historic centre of Sarnano and sees the winding medieval streets of the town transformed into an antiques market, whilst in August the Medieval Festival - Palio del Serafino - is an unmissable event for tourists and locals alike. The International Theatre Festival, which takes place in Amandola in September, attracts visitors and artists from all over the world.

Numerous other towns and villages are a treasure trove of history and art waiting to be discovered. In the small church of San Martino in the lovely village of Monte San Martino you can see one of the few remaining intact poliptych painted by the brothers Carlo and Vittore Crivelli.

And if you feel like a dip in the sea or visiting some of Italy’s finest fish restaurants, then the Adriatic coast with its numerous seaside resorts is only 40 minutes’ drive away.
