Luxury Stone Villa, Separate cottage.Private pool. Superb Location & Views! Wifi
Casa delle Stelle near the beautiful towns of Arcevia and Serra de' Conti is a luxurious stone villa with scented jasmine climbing by the front door and a separate cottage.It has its own sparkling pool set in a panoramic position close to the villa but not too close. With commanding views onto the beautiful rural Gola della Rossa Natural Park, Casa delle Stelle is in the perfect location. Secluded as you bask in the sun or eat al fresco under the portico you are still only a 3 minute walk from a high quality restaurant providing superb local fresh food and a 10 minute walk to the local shop and bar, the centre of life for the hamlet. The house has been designed with the holiday-maker in mind- French windows to let in maximum light and to appreciate the stunning countryside, high quality antique Marche furniture, terrace table extending to cater for large groups for wonderful outside dining. Enjoy watching your family in the pool while you are preparing their prosciutto e melone! Sit on the pool steps and dangle your toes in the warm water. The house offers seclusion and tranquillity in the heart of the rolling countryside but farming village life is not far away if you want it. The villa lies between two beautiful villages Avacelli and Castiglione and is in the perfect spot to explore the Le Marche region.

Our group of 12 thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It is the perfect place for children and the pool is a big hit. The setting is absolutely stunning (think Lake District with warm weather) and the owners and property manager extremely welcoming.
Beautiful villa with breathtaking views. We loved the pool and outside patio. We stayed there for 11 days, a family of twelve, the age range 10 - 80 years, everybody was comfortable. We took day trips to the beach in Senigallia and loved it! The manager was super nice and helpful. Truly recommend!
Beautiful Villa in a spectacular setting. Very well equipped and comfortable. The pool was enjoyed by all our group. The restaurant at the end of the road was good as was the small bar and shop in the village. Jesi, Singhallia and the local caves at Genga all worth a visit. Very pretty hillside towns within a short distance from the Villa. A perfect place for a relaxing, tranquil holiday.
Lovely house with lots of space for 5 couples plus an annex for another couple if needed. Furnished very sympathetically with rustic antique furniture. Outside space is very well maintained , including the pool area. The outdoor dining table is convenient to the kitchen and perfectly placed to admire the amazing views.
Restaurant 5 minutes walk down the lane and only a 40 minute drive to Ancona airport add to the advantages of this beautiful house.
Communication with the owners and the house manager, Fabiano, was great and they gave lots of useful information about the house and the area.
We were a group of 10 and everyone had a fabulous week!
Wauw, from the moment you drive through the gates you enter another world. The view from the terrace and pool are really mindblowing. Its so peacefull. You don't hear a sound here. Except from the crickets :-).
The house is really spacious. The hallway is enormous. The kitchen is big. Spacious bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms.
The covered terrace is a big bonus, and again, that view, wow!
The pool is not heated but the temperature is ok after the first 'shock' :-p. Plenty of sunbeds also.
The first days we stayed here it was really hot inside. Bedrooms were around 30 degrees. There are plenty of fans available but especially those nights the fans couldnt cool it down because it didnt cool down at night. Airco's in the bedrooms would make this house even better.
We stayed here for 10 days with 3 families. We really enjoyed it here. Plenty to visit around also.
Also a big thanks to Fabiana who gave us a very warm welcome! She is fabulous!
Thanks for everything!

Magnificent Home; Stunning Location
Being a frequent renter of holiday homes all over Italy it can sometimes be challenging to find a property that is spacious, elegant, well furnished, well maintained with multiple guest rooms and bathrooms, plus a pool and nice views. Judging from the web listing this property seemed to tick all the boxes, but upon our arrival I have to say that it even exceeded our expectations!
Both my maternal and paternal grandfathers were born in Le Marche, in villages very near to La Casa delle Stelle, so it was the ideal location to base ourselves for visiting family. The villa provided us with a magnificent venue to reciprocate family hospitality and invite them to lunch or dinner - needless to say they were just as impressed as we were with the dimensions of the house, the quality of the furniture and furnishings, the multiple bathrooms and of course how spotlessly clean everything was.
Having Le Betulle Agriturismo just up the lane way was an added benefit as we wandered up there a few times for a traditional Marchigiano meal or for our little boys to use their well equipped playground.
The property manager, Fabiana, lives nearby and was extremely friendly and attentive in ensuring everything regarding our stay was perfect.
Within a short drive there are supermarkets, beaches, wonderful medieval hill towns, walking trails and stunning vistas everywhere.
This property is definitely one of the best in this region of Italy and is highly recommended.
We stayed at the property for 9 nights as part of our summer vacation as a family of four including our boys 12 and 16. Communication was great and check-in was easy. There are 2 houses which are included in the rental but we only used the main house as by itself, it was bigger than what we needed. House is very nicely furnished with antique furniture and it was very private. House doesn't have A/C but property manager gave us fans if needed. Due to house being stone, house was generally cool. Especially in the evening, it get a very nice cross-breeze and it has bug nets on the bedroom windows that we were very comfortable. I might had the best sleeps in my life. Pool is bigger than in the picture, I think it is around 6x12m or so and it is a lot of fun. Due to harvesting season, we had a lot of bugs around and in the pool. It is cleaned once a week but a pool robot might be a good investment for the owners to clean the bottom of the pool much more regularly. Owners had a nice booklet for things to do, see around and restaurants. We were surprised with how delicious were the restaurants around, and we did not get disappointed with any of them. There are also nice things to the around, cave tours, San Marino, Rimini, etc. But you can just stay and relax at the countryside as well. I have 2 suggestions, one is that wifi is not strong in the house except living room, so kitchen, master, etc. don't get any wifi. So extenders would be a cheap but very good investment for the owners. Also, bug nets on the windows are available only on the bedroom, it would have been nice to have couple windows downstairs as well to feel the breeze without the bugs at night. But they were very minor, and we still had amazing time at the villa. I would certainly recommend it. It has a lot of space so it can be good for larger families and friends as well.
Maison très confortable, bien équipée et bien décorée. Vu sur les collines avoisinantes sans vis à vis depuis la terrasse et la piscine. L accueil par Fabiana a été très chaleureux et pleins de conseils.
Le fait d avoir 5 salle de bain pour 6 chambres avec chacune des toilettes est Top !
Wij hebben echt een heerlijke vakantie gehad!
Het vakantiehuis is echt een fantastisch mooi Italiaans plaatje, zowel van buiten als ook van binnen.
Wij hebben 2 weken verbleven in het huis met 3 gezinnen en onze moeder. Genoeg ruimte voor iedereen en erg fijn dat er zoveel badkamers aanwezig zijn.
Onze kinderen in de leeftijd van 1 tot 16 jaar hebben zich prima vermaakt. Zwembad is van top formaat met een geweldig uitzicht.
Wij zijn vaak naar Senigallia gereden om leker naar het strand te gaan, ook echt een aanrader. Als je iets verder wilt rijden is Porto Novo ook de moeite waard om te bezoeken.
Kortom ik zou hier zeker terugkomen en dit prachtige vakantiehuis absoluut aanraden. Wij hebben kunnen genieten van "Il dolce far niente"!
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt mit sechs Erwachsenen und sechs Kindern sehr genossen. Der Blick von der Terrasse sorgt für Entspannung und das Haus ist großzügig, ruhig und sehr schön eingerichtet. . Es gibt vier Schlafzimmerr in der ersten Etage sowie eins im Etdgeschoss, was vergleichsweise klein ist und uns nicht ganz so gut gefallen hat wie die Zimmer oben. Ein weiteres Schlafzimmer findet sich im Cottage. Toll wäre es, wenn auch die Fenster des Wohnzimmers Fliegengitter hätten. Dann könnte man abends gut durchlüften. Zudem wäre es schön, wenn die Stühle auf der Terrasse Sitzpolster hätten.
Wir haben uns alle sehr wohl gefühlt und würden das Haus weiterempfehlen.
Es ist ein wunderschönes Haus in einer tollen Landschaft. Bei den Temperaturen von 35° war der Swimmingpool natürlich der Haupt Tummelplatz unserer 5 Kinder zwischen 3 und 13 Jahren. Mit unseren Mountainbikes konnten wir Wunderbar die Gegend erkunden. Nachmittags und nachts hätte man sich doch manchmal, Trotz sorgfältig geschlossener Fensterläden, eine Klimaanlage gewünscht. Mit 1 oder 2 WLAN Repeatern könnte man für einen besseren Internet Zugang draussen ,und auch in den Schlafräumen Sorgen.
The villa is exactly as awesome as you expect It to be by looking at the pictures. Very spacious, it has all the comforts, kitchen fully equipped, generous tableware and swimming pool accessories.
It was handed over to us very clean.
The manager and the owner were very open to our requests and always available to help.
The villa is immersed in a fantastic countryside. The landscape, the nature and the quiet are regenerating.
In short distance you can find nice villages, seaside and nice walks.
Car is recommended to enjoy fully the surroundings. WiFi connectivity available though signal weak in some rooms.
This villa was ideal for us and our five grandchildren. The children loved the swimming pool and we all enjoyed the amazing views. Good access to local shops and a short distance from the seaside.
Bella struttura, sia la casa che il giardino. Conforme alle aspettative!
Accoglienza curata, regole chiare e giuste.
Siamo stati molto bene, piccoli e grandi, in famiglia.
Un soggiorno estivo ne vale veramente la pena.
Grazie!
A wonderful house in a beautiful setting pefect for us, 3 families with teenage children! Plenty of room, a very nice pool and the surroundings are beautiful! A bit of a challenge to cook for 12 people though - maybee it is time to update the pots and pans in the kitchen to match the high standard in the rest of the house?
Very enjoyable week in well appointed house in lovely setting

Wonderful house in a great area
We had a really nice family time at the house. Finding it turned out to be hard in the beginning as our navigation systems weren‘t very helpful. But once we got there everything was great. Fabiana was a lovely host and was happy to help anytime. The house is furnished beautifully and has everything you could possibly need! Very clean and comfy and very family-friendly. The view and the entire area is extremely nice. The restaurant just up the road „Le Bertulle“ is good for dinner too!
Overall we enjoyed ourselves very much and would recommend it anytime! Many thanks Rob and Jane!

Lovely villa for an all-age family holiday
Ranging in age from 6 to 79, the whole family enjoyed staying at this lovely house for a week, enjoying its tranquillity, the surrounding hills and the night sky in particular. The pool, of course, was very popular and we also went on trips to surrounding villages as well as to Le Cantine del Cardinale with their lovely cherry products. A couple of evening visits to local restaurants gave us a chance to join with Italian families.
A small niggle: one or two nights were quite cool and we would have appreciated a sheet which tucked in and/or a light cover.

Great property
The property is in a wonderful location - quiet, private, fabulous views, and lots of outdoor space to enjoy. We were a large family of 3 generations and there was plenty of space for everybody to do their 'own thing'. The house is very well appointed, and the kitchen in particular was well equipped for a holiday rental, which was a bonus. The pool area is lovely and the pool is well maintained. The local manager, Fabiana, was very helpful too. All in all, we had a great stay.

Beautiful house with an amazing view ........a true invitation to go and discover Italy
It was our first time in Italy. We rented the house and were two families with 5 children. The house was really clean and very nice decorated, the owners must have excellent taste. The bed rooms were beautiful (again those views!!) and also very good. Although no air conditioning in the house and hot temperatures outside, the house remained cool enough to sleep.
The region is not so touristic, which means you have to drive around a bit before you can visit some more crowded places. We did visit other towns and the beach, but you must make it a day trip, because you need at least 1.5h driving. But it is thé perfect holiday home when you want to enjoy some peace, have fun with the kids at the pool / in the garden and walk up the hill in the late afternoon to go and buy some ice-cream at the small local shop/bar/alimentari. You can rest assure that the house is as beautiful as the pictures show :)

Perfektion, tranquility and beautiful
Imagine you come to a place that exceeds you high expectations in every sense..... just imagine.
From the communication with the owners and the local contact to the hours spend with the extended family around the pool, in the very well equipped and wonderful kitchen to enjoying the results on the terrassse and on to the visits at recommended places nearby - just perfect, calm and wonderful.
Can’t wait to get back

Wonderful location
The house and cottage were in excellent order and there was everything in situ that you could have wished for. I stayed with my three sons and their families to celebrate my retirement. The pool was excellent and a big hit with everyone. The little ones certainly benefited from the daily swimming. Fabiana was wonderful very caring and couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect. The nearby restaurant was well worth a visit and the local shop just perfect for practicing my Italian The views were just fabulous and I would love to return.
