The Marche / Abruzzo / Marche region

Marche is an amazing combination of beautiful rolling countryside, mountain ranges, woodland, ancient hilltop villages, stunning coastline and beautiful cities. Marche offers the traveller a wealth of culture, art, crafts, excellent local cuisine and beautiful scenery and being fairly undiscovered you will rarely be faced with the crowds now associated with the tourist sites of Tuscany. The list of villages, towns and cities worth seeing is endless where you can visit the numerous historic attractions or simply roam the narrow streets and beautiful piazzas. For the traveller who simply enjoys soaking up the local atmosphere Marche is certainly the place. For those wishing to take part in more energetic activities the region offers it all - skiing, walking, golf, aqua parks, tennis, horse riding, twin-engine go karting, quad biking, hot air ballooning, fishing, sailing and scuba diving.

The Marche region, a rectangle measuring 9693kmsq or 3.2% of Italy's total surface area lies between the Marecchia and Tronto rivers and to the east of the Apennine Mountains. Historically Marche has been an isolated region sheltered by its natural mountain borders and by the Adriatic Sea. However, it is gradually gaining recognition as a stunning region of Italy. Bordering both Umbria and Tuscany, as well as Abruzzo, Lazio and Emilia-Romagna, the region has an identity all of its own.

In general, Marche has a typical Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot dry summers. Summer temperatures average between 25-30 degrees but can reach the mid 40s. April, May, September and October are lovely warm months but without the extreme summer temperatures.

The Sibillini National park is only 40 minutes by car where guests can enjoy skiing in the winter and walking throughout the year as well as other activities. The historic city of Macerata which holds the second largest open-air opera festival during July and August is only 25 minutes by car. The ancient cities of Urbino and Ascoli Piceno can be reached under 2 hours.

The well-known Grotte di Frasassi (Frasassi caves) are one of the most complex karst systems in Italy. 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.

Mogliano area

Caserma Carina is on the edge of Mogliano, only a 15 minute walk to the town centre offering easy access to banks, supermarkets, local shops, good restaurants and bars. Elevated, it is surrounded by high walls, including the ancient bulwarks of the original fortress. The church of Santa Maria Assunta contains an important work by Lorenzo Lotto, the Our Lady of the Assumption with Saints dated 1548. Mogliano boasts a fantastic week long festival in late June/early July. The festival includes dancing, music, re-enactments from 1744 around the town and to end the whole event a spectacular firework display to music. Throughout the week Tavernas open up in the historic centre of Mogliano where you can eat al fresco local and international cuisine. This is just one of many local festivals which occur throughout the summer months.

Within a 10 minute drive is The Abbey of Chiaravalle di Fiastra founded by the Cistercian monks of Clairvaux in 1142. The property lies within the Abbadia di Fiastra nature reserve where you can enjoy walking throughout the 1800 hectares. Minutes away from the Abbey is the archaeological area of Urbs Salvia with the well preserved amphitheater dating back to the 2nd century.

Marche's coastline offers some stunning scenery and in particular Monte Conero with its high cliffs (offering 18 walks) and small beaches tucked away in corners of natural beauty. Even closer for our guests is Porto San Giorgio, a pretty medieval fishing town with sandy beaches, established restaurants and a lovely marina. During July the locals hold the traditional Festa del Pesce (Fish Festival), where the fish is cooked in huge frying pans.

The Monti Sibillini National Park is a nature reserve covering an area of 60,000 hectares spread over the Sibillini mountain range. Wolves, bears and wild cats still roam this area of natural beauty which offers breath-taking walking holidays for all enthusiasts. Mountain lakes, waterfalls, deep gorges, woodlands and ancient monasteries are just some of the delights of this area. Organised walks and mule treks are available. However, there is a map available detailing all the walks in the area for those wishing to enjoy the delights of the Sibillini at their own pace.

The well-known Grotte di Frasassi (Frasassi caves) are one of the most complex karst systems in Italy. 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.

Guestbook for Caserma Carina Country House

"What a gorgeous place to holiday in. Fantastic accommodation, stunning surroundings and great friendly hosts. Perfect"

"These apartments are the most tastefully decorated I have seen and incredibly comfortable. The pool is fantastic and, even when at full occupancy, there was masses of space, so we never felt as if we were on top of others. What really made the holiday, however, was Lesley and Dean's incredible hospitality. Their genuinely thoughtful recommendations for sampling the local culinary delights, beaches, Roman ruins - and a whole plethora of other activities - turned a week in the sun into a fantastic break into a wonderful part of Italy. I would thoroughly recommend Caserma Carina."

"The end of another great week at Caserma Carina. It always comes round too fast and we don't want to leave. All our thanks Dean, Lesley & Gracie for making our stay fantastic as always"

"We really landed on our feet when we discovered Caserma Carina"
