Malatesta Maison
Offering sweeping views across the Cesano Valley, Malatesta Maison is a luxurious rental in the hills of Marche. It boasts nine bedrooms plus a wellness facility with a sauna, hammam, jacuzzi and pool
Tuscany was also an option but we found it more interesting to discover a new ‘territory’; the feeling to be in a place which is like Tuscany 30 years ago is just luxury.
Le Marche Villa
You'll love how the contemporary interior is wrapped in the villa's traditional rural architecture.
Enjoy the breathtaking views of Le Marche's rolling hills and vinyards over dinner on the terrace.
How about learning how to make authentic Mozarella cheese or go truffle hunting near Acqualagna?
Le Marche feels a bit like Tuscany many years ago. Go explore!
The city of Treia is just a 5 min drive away, but you’ll need a car to explore the local villages and the coast.
How would you describe Le Marche Villa in a nutshell?
Le Marche Villa is a luxury vacation villa for 11 people in the rolling hills of the Marches, Italy. The outside of this 300-year old farmhouse is protected and was therefore left in its original state. The inside however, was completely redone to state-of-the-art contemporary minimalism interiors, flooded with light, and decorated in neutral colors. The outdoors boast panoramic views of the Adriatic sea and a large infinity pool.
Please tell us a bit about the restoration of the villa.
We discovered the old farmhouse in 2005, it was the last ruin we visited during our week of house hunting in Le Marche and it was the good one! It took us then 1 year to find the right architects and almost 4 years to complete the renovation which in Italy is always an exciting experience.
What was your inspiration to rent the villa to vacation guests?
Our project was from the very beginning to share the result of our work. We have rented so many houses in the past for our own vacations and we never found something we completely loved. With this villa, it was our contribution to bring something new or special to the market.
Please tell us a bit about the style of the interior and the architecture of the villa rental.
Well, I like to remember our first brief to our architects. We came with books and catalogues from Christian Liaigre, B&B Italia or Cote Sud... They listened to us very nicely, sometimes saying ‘yes, we understand...’. Then we got the first drawings of the concept which were amazing but rather different. The capacity to reflect our ideas and to surprise us always positively with their creativity is the proof of their great talent!
What would you describe to be the essence of the villa?
Our leitmotiv has always been to combine the best of Italy from tradition to modernity. The villa is a mix of all the talents we can find in this gorgeous country.
What do you particularly like about this part of Italy?
We had always dreamed about having our own house in Italy one day. We have lived in Modena for 3 years and we also love the Emilia Romagna. Tuscany was also an option but we found it more interesting to discover ‘territory’, the feeling to be in a place which is the Tuscany 30 years ago is just a luxury...
How would you like your vacation guests to remember their stay at the villa?
We hope people will remember the house for the atmosphere and the surrounding beauty they found there. Le Marche is a hidden secret, and so is our villa.
Is there something that you just have to do or see during a vacation in Le Marche?
It is difficult to suggest something as everyone has his own aspiration, passion or envy. We would just highly recommend to take the opportunity of a wine tasting ‘a casa’ with Amy and Mirco from ‘Il Casolare dei Segreti’, it’s just a must...
To you personally, what has been the biggest reward about running a villa rental?
We are just very proud to welcome people from all over the planet, German, French, Swiss, English, but also from the United States or Brazil. We are proud and we feel responsible to bring them the best from Le Marche.
Set onto one hectare of land with olive trees surrounding the houses, Le Marche Villa is divided into two sections. The southern part of the house holds the living room with a fireplace, as well as four of the bedrooms on the two upper floors. The nothern part of the building is where you'll find the kitchen and dining room, as well as the other bedroom and a study. Outside is a large terrace with a pergola, a dining table with space for up to 12 people, and an outside grill and teppanyaki. Additionally there is our beautiful infinity pool with panoramic views.
We tried to put in everything you need to enjoy a dream vacation without getting out of the casa. For the summer, we have an air conditioning system coming from the floor to feel fresh air without freezing. We also have a home theater system, satellite TV, music on the terrace connected to an iPod, a fitness room with Technogym equipment, an outside kitchen with teppanyaki grill and even a very minimalist pool table made sur mesure for our villa.
We have great restaurants around the house like the wonderful ‘Il Casolare dei Segreti’, 2 mins from the villa, or the great agriturismo ‘La Sella di Pitino’ and its black and white truffle specialities. From mid-July to mid-August you can enjoy the second most important open-air opera festival in Macerata. You can spend a day on a heavenly beach in Monte Conero with transparent water and eating Italian sushi from Moreno Cedroni, or hiking in the legendary Sibillini mountains. There are plenty of activities, the most difficult is to leave the infinity pool.
Le Marche is a region in Italy that is still somewhat unspoiled. Right between the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic coast, Le Marche might just be one of the most hidden jewels of the country. You'll find thousands of hills with olive groves, fruit plantations or sunflower fields. Every single village has its tradition coming from a long history, with beautiful old churches, museums or theaters. This is the land of Giacomo Leopardi and his beautiful ‘Infinity’. Le Marche Villa is a countryside property, among the presence of ancient villages and rolling hills. We are just outside of Treia, less than one hour from the Adriatic coast, and close to Macerata with their famous summer open-air festival.
Our italian friends in Treia used to say that the villa has the best position in Le Marche, on the top of the hills with a panoramic view from the landscape all the way to the Adriatic Coast. We spend hours admiring this marchigian landscape from the pool or the terrace!
During the hot summer months of July and August Le Marche is never too crowded. For those people who can't take the heat, we'd recommend visiting anytime in May, June, or September. The landscape is ultimately colourful, and only brief showers are common.
Mid-February to mid-April, as well as late fall can be rather wet seasons with grey mist and rain setting in the mountains. However, those periods will be the best ones for truffe hunting!
