 11 Jul 2011 |
Upon our arrival we found Casa Dorata was perfectly set up for an independent family holiday. The property was perfect for our needs to relax and enjoy the beautiful Italian countryside and the friendly local villages. Situated on a hillside with views to infinity, we were able to enjoy the scenery from the poolside and decide which hilltop village we would visit for our morning coffee and explore the next day. July was a magical time to visit with the daily passage of the shepherd moving his flock of sheep with their tinkling bells and then the fireflies twinkling in the the woods in the evening. Casa Dorata was an excellent choice as a base for our family to enjoy the best of Le Marche and for easy access to the Sibilline Mountains. |
Guestbook for Casa Dorato
"We had a wonderful time in the spring of 2008. the Arcacia trees were in full bloom and its perfume we will always remember. Would love to return to Casa Dorato with the rest of the family in 2009." - Sarah and Clive Marflow.
"Had a fantastic time at Casa Dorato the pool and house was just ideal for the 8 of us . Spent my birthday night at Pipos and Gabriellas,what a restaurant! Just loved Pipo and Maria the neighbours he was so friendly with us all the kids loved him and all the animals on his small farm." - Gary and Linda Jackson.
Hi Kevin,
Was just about to email you to thank you. First day back in work so back to reality. We all had a really lovely holiday. The weather was fantastic for the first half of the week, the remainder was a little cooler but still enjoyable. We loved the house, pool and surrounding area. Eating out was a challenge because of the language barrier but also a lot of fun and laughs. Thank you for your recommendations of the locality and restaurants. We ate at Pipo and Gabriellas a couple of times and then in Di Cocco in Gualdo. The food in Pipo and Gabriellas was excellent, could not fault it and having an English speaking waiter really did help. All in all we were made feel very welcome anywhere we went. We will brush up our Italian for the next visit. We had a very hard time trying to find gifts to bring home with us and ended up buying key rings and fridge magnets at the airport. I know this is because it is not a typical holiday location. All in all it was perfect for us. We like peace and quiet, and privacy, and the villa had it all.
Thanks again
Marion
Hi Kevin,
We had an absolutely fab holiday, it was amazing and if social services or
the NHS paid a bit better we would buy Casa.Dorato!!!!!
I honestly cannot think of anything negative to say we even enjoyed the
spectacular storms and the little cloud that we did have, made walking in
the mountains perfect.
I just wish we were back there now, nearly 2 weeks back at work and I would
just love to escape again.Still we have the photos to remind us.
I have to admit my Italian was not quite up to scratch but we did manage to
call a dentist and explain that we needed an appointment!
We will definitely be going back to that area next year so if by any chance
you don't manage to sell do let us know.
Many Thanks for all your help and advice

"A review from Denmark"
"The description was very accurate. Only good surprises ( wine at the table and cold drinks in the frizz)
The housecleaning was very good. And everything was in function â?" electric equipment etc..
( we did never find the switch to the light in the pool ?)
Kevins service was perfect. Nice talks in the phone. Sending very informative materials about the area. Very good information about his own experience in the area â?" restaurants etc.
And when we could not find the house, when we arrived â?" a perfect guiding by phone.
We will recommend this house ( and its owner ) to everyone.
The place is perfect for relaxing and it was what we did, but we went to some of the restaurants in and around Gualdo at Kevins recommendations , and we was not disappointed any time.
Dear Kevin
Thank you for renting the house. Vacation was very nice. We will remember
especially views from your property.
Best regards from Cracow
