The Marche / Abruzzo / Marche region

Marche is on the Adriatic coast in central Italy, boarded by the regions of Umbria, Tuscany, Emilia Romana and Abruzzo. It is often described as 'all of Italy in one region' as it has a real diversity of terrain, coastline, towns and attractions. We describe it as 'the real Italy'.

We are in the middle of Marche, one hours drive from Ancona airport and in an area of rolling hills and tranquil valleys. Each hill is topped by a medieval town waiting to be explored and with a small family restaurant where you can while away a long lunch or evening meal with a glass or two of the local wines

Each November you can take a fully inclusive 4 day break designed to give you a fascinating introduction to the autumn highlights of Le Marche. With the backdrop of the olive harvest you will gain an insight into the cultivation and production of the finest olive oils whilst enjoying delicious regional dishes at a carefully selected range of restaurants.

The weekend includes an afternoon at an award winning vineyard where you will be introduced to top Marchigiani wines and learn about their production. You will spend a morning cooking with top academy chef Guida Stacchietti and eat your gourmet lunch at the eclectic Il Maniero art club. All costs are included eg meals, wine, tours and transport except flights. Please see the full description and dates on website.

Francavilla d'Ete area

Marche is full of fascinating towns and cities where you can explore the narrow streets, visit a local market, check out a museum or gallery or simply sit outside a street cafe and watch the world go by. The cities of Fermo, Ascoli Piceno and Urbino are all within a short drive. Macerta which is 30 minutes away hosts the annual summer open air opera and in each town or village there is always a programme of live entertainment and festivals all through the long season.

Nearby to Casal dei Fichi are the fascinating Roman ruins of Urba Salvia and the Abbey where you can take lunch and explore the grounds.

The Sibillini National park is only 40 minutes by car where you can enjoy skiing in the winter and walking throughout the year as well as ballooning, horse riding and climbing.

The well-known Grotte di Frasassi (Frasassi caves) are one of the largest caves systems in Europe. The caves offer an underground world of lakes, beautiful transparent alabaster formations, vaulted caverns and stalactites suspended like daggers. Guided tours are available throughout the year.

How to get there

We are an easy one hour drive from Ancona airport (Ryanair from Stansted), 90 minutes from Pescara and Rimini (Ryanair from Stansted, Bristol and East Midlands) and 3-4 hours from Bologna and Rome.

Car hire is available from various companies at these airports.

We can also organise collection from local railway stations e.g. Civitanova on the main east coast line.

Guestbook for Casal dei Fichi

Me and my partner visited casal dei fichi in April for a few days with the view to booking it for our wedding venue, which we have since done. We loved it the minute we saw it, the views are breathtaking and the accommodation and decor are immaculate, there is even a plug next to the mirror ladies!! Ian and Bob are fantastic hosts and they go out of their way to ensure that you have a great holiday. We are taking our family and friends out next year for our wedding and I am confident that they will love it as much as we do. Lisa and Lee

We have been renting quality holiday apartments for 30 years and Casal dei Fichi is the best yet. As you turn off the road to drive down to the house, the views of rolling countryside are stunning. Ian and Bob are excellent hosts who thoughfully provide a food and drink "welcome pack" and pizza nights!
Casal dei Fichi is very well placed for the sea, countryside and mountains. John and Jane Jenkins
