Bellissima villa ristrutturata con piscina e magnifiche viste

The house is situated in a extremely nice area and is even better, than the pictures show!

As a group of friends travelling with kids, we loved our stay here. The villa is a generous size, the views are beautiful and the pool was great. It's an old property with a lot of character, located in a peaceful rural area. You can tell that the renovation of this place is an ongoing labour of love. The massive kitchen/dining area has been finished to a really high standard. It's where we spent most of our time when not in the pool/garden. A couple of the bedrooms are still a little more rustic, but personally I quite liked that. I wasn't expecting a pristine hotel suite.The surrounding area isn't particularly known for tourism, so the pretty hill-top towns and villages nearby were rather sleepy, but still very welcoming. The local Abbey is also a pleasant place to go for a walk. And they have amazing ice cream and a lovely bar/café for evening drinks. There's also a local produce shop which was great for buying fresh fruit, vegetables, wine etc.Both the owner and local property manager of the villa were very helpful and responsive throughout booking process and during our stay. Would highly recommend!

We were a group of three older women looking for a clean comfortable rental to use as home base as we explored the region. The house was idyllic, overlooking hills of sunflowers and flax. It was beautiful, serene and each evening we had a glass of wine and enjoyed the view. The pool was essential as there was a heat wave during our stay and it cooled us down every evening. The house is situated to visit caves, the coast and several interesting small towns. The house itself was as described, simple but very comfortable and clean. The house manager was responsive and helpful.

Villa Casciano is a superb property, expertly designed and maintained (a big well done to Brian for the restoration and to Andy, the friendly property manager!). We loved the house itself which perfectly suited our party of 11 guests. There are lots of lovely places to sit around the house but the heart is the huge kitchen and dining area (which includes yet another sitting area) which made meal preparation so much more pleasant than the usual quite small facilities which we have found in the past with other villas (even otherwise large ones). We also loved having the stunning pool area just beside the house (no toddlers to be concerned about in our party as they have all grown up!) which made it easy to go in and out for books, sunglasses etc (all the things you forget to bring and then have to trek back for if the pool is more distant). The views from the pool and around the villa were endlessly rewarding (again, plenty of sitting areas in the large garden area surrounding). The nearby village of Petriolo is a little gem and we particularly enjoyed the Bar Centrale which never seems to close so that you can enjoy an early morning cappucino and also a late night drink or gelato from its panoramic terrace. Just a little further away is Mogliano, which also has a useful kiosk from which you can fill up water bottles with spring water (either still or gassata). Further afield, we got to Macerata, Loreto, San Severino, Ascoli, even Castellucio and Lago di Fiastra. Excellent!

It was a pleasure to spent a time at Casciano villa. We have great time with our friends and kids (6x adults, 5x kids: 4-10 years old). Pool area, amazing views, beautiful garden, relaxing atmosphere. Silent and nature- if you like it- this is a place for you:) In my opinion kitchen is well equipped, 3 bathrooms are available with shower and bathtubs, with washing machine, villa is really clean. There are a stone stairs inside (for families with small babies it might be challenging). Property owner provided a lot of tips and useful recommendations, at any time we could count on constant support. Thank you :)
