The house is a "casa colonica", i.e. a farmhouse in which the stables used to be

on the groundfloor and the farmer and his family lived on the first floor. The

house was completely renovated in 2003 and we had the stables converted to

very comfortable living quarters. The original details were as much as possible

maintained, we took care to chose the right combinations of colours and

materials and did not economize on the materials nor the fittings.

Our plot has a size of about 1 acre, is completely fenced-in and access is

via a single closable gate. You can thus park safely at the house.

The house lies halfway a hill, in a valley leading to the Misa river, one of the

many rivers in the Marches running from the Appennine mountains to the

Adriatic Sea. It is surrounded by fields which are planted with either wheat,

sunflowers, corn or beets; on the ridge above our house lies Filetto, the village

which forms part of the town of Senigallia, on the coast. It is reached via a

small road, de nearest neighbours are farmers having their house at about 300

yards.

The surrounding area is rural, which can mean that in some periods of the year

the fields are cultivated, so you may encounter or hear a tractor or a combine

harvester agricultural working one or the other field in the area.

The Guest Studio
Is an independent unit within our house, with its own entrance, with all

necessary commodities.You are our only guests.

At the front you can enjoy your breakfast in the morning sun, an extra table

and chairs are there for that purpose. At the rear you have your own covered

terrace (portico) with a large table and four chairs en a wonderful view at the

garden and the surrounding hilly countryside. 

We supply you further with two deckchairs and a big sunshade, for your 2nd

terrace near the pool, and our swimmingpool (6 x 12 m) is at your disposal.

The studio has a surface of about 45 m² and consists of a large living/dining/

sleeping room, kitchen and bathroom with shower. 

The two beds have spring matrasses 90x200 cm in size.

The furnishing is a mixture of „country“ and „modern“ and chosen with great

care. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a 4-point gas stove with hood, electric

oven with grill and refrigerator.   

Crockery, glassware and cutlery is there in good quality and in sufficient supply. You

dispose of a CD and DVD player and satellite TV (Canaldigitaal). Telephone is

not available, so take your cell phone with you (if you wish to be reached).

Internet and books in English, German and Dutch available.

The spacious tastefully decorated bathroom has a shower, WC and „bidet“ and a large washbasin.

We would appreciate your not smoking within the house.

You can further make use of the washing machine, iron and ironing board in our utility room.

The studio is centrally heated and has air-conditioning.

Thanks to the thick outer walls it is nice and cool during the summer.

If you need extra cooling, the ceiling ventilator is available.

In the summer we are always there, in our part of the house; in other periods of the year it is possible we are there. 

The completely fenced-in one-acre-garden has been carefully planned, oleanders and roses abound, that is why the house is called „Casa degli Oleandri“. The trees provide for wonderful shade, as the summers in the Marches can be rather hot. 

You are our only guests and have the use of our swimmingpool (6 x 12 m) and its terrace.
