Guestbook

After a long flight from Finland we were met by friendly Thomas and immediately settled in to this lovely house. The views were better than expected and the pool was enjoyed by us all--young and old. We hope to return some day

Just back from a wonderful two week holiday in this beautiful house. We were three families and the accommodation worked well with one family taking the lower ground floor. We mainly used the upstairs but the extra kitchen was very useful for fridge storage. The property is really well stocked and the views from the terrace and the pool area are stunning. This was a new area for us. Similar to Tuscany and Umbria, but definitely less touristy. We were the only Brits in most of the areas. This was no problem though and everyone was very friendly and the prices were lower than the more touristy areas. Loads of beautiful towns and villages to visit. Our favourites were Fermo, Ascoli Piceno, Offida, Montefiore dell’Aso, Ripatransone, Sarnano and Montedinove with its great bar at the top of the town. We ate out most days for lunch or dinner. Food was great. We found the Agriturismo’s a bit intimidating with too much antipasto so tended to choose from menus where possible. Italian supermarkets are amazing too. So much choice. We found the mosquitoes annoying and all got bitten in the early days but, speaking to some locals, they suggested that they had come out late because of the very hot summer. Just bring protection.
A good road into the house and it is possible to walk to Cossignano. We walked in and had an amazing first meal at Elviras. I highly recommend this property. Thank you to the owners for the excellent communication too. Julian E - UK

We had a fabulous week at Casa Collina - the favourite for all of us was absolutely the pool and the views across the countryside, I think we spent 80% of our time in the pool! Thanks for having us!

We really enjoyed a week at Casa Collina with our children, their partners and our grandchildren. Everything is present in the house for a successful holiday. The area is particularly quiet. The pool was maintained daily (and properly). The view (from both terraces and from the pool) is breathtaking! A plus point is certainly also the nearby historic village of Cossignano, which is definitely worth a visit.

Casa Collina is definitely recommended.

The villa lives up to the information provided and the location and views from the property are outstanding. The weather turned hot during our stay and the pool was a real plus. The shops, restaurants and wineries in the surrounding area were excellent and most welcoming. Stayed June 2019 5/5

What a View
5/5
Stayed May 2019
We were a group of adults from Holland celebrating a special occasion and loved our stay at Casa Collina. The house had everything you may need, the views from the house and outside were fabulous and the pool--although a little cold in early May--was great to sit around. The area around is beautiful and we look forward to returning one day.

We had a great holiday in this villa. Great setting and a healthy walk into Cossignano. Not too far to a reasonable supermarket in Offida and the nearby hilltop towns are a good trip out.

The villa is well equipped and our group of nine had plenty of room. We like La Marche as it is unspoilt, so prices to eat out are very reasonable. La Fonte near Offida was good on the day of arrival as it is a big place where service was fast. We went back on our last day for the “workers lunch” and were stuffed for €12 each including wine. Loads of fish on Friday.

I would definitely recommend to family & friends.

We really loved our stay at Casa Collina with its great infinity pool and everything provided. The air con was essential and kept us cool at nights and in the day we just lounged around taking in the spectacular views. Surrounding villages were great and beaches really clean although busy with Italians at this time of year. Would highly recommend.

We stayed at this house as two families of four and absolutely loved it! The house is large and spacious and has everything you could possibly need. It is positioned in a quiet and peaceful location and the views are just stunning. We would have quite happily tucked ourselves away there for the full two weeks! However, visits to the surrounding villages and towns where the locals are very welcoming are a must and we were lucky enough to have (by chance!) picked the festival period to go, adding that extra bit of fun and fervour to our stay. A trip to the mountains is an hour away, the beach is about half an hour, and a visit to the local Fiorano vineyard offers wine tasting opportunities where the owners are lovely and the wine is extremely good! .. Yay! Obviously a car is a must. We have come home feeling relaxed, refreshed and longing for more! The owners, Colin and Sue have been really friendly and approachable and have offered some good advice and suggestions. Thomas, their agent, was exceptionally helpful and always on hand if needed. I cannot recommend this property highly enough. A definite 5 stars from me! We would all go back at the drop of a hat!!

What a fantastic family holiday! Not only was the weather hot (thank goodness for the air-con), but the house was everything we needed and more... the views were breath taking to wake up to every morning, the house was very well equipped and the pool was very clean and perfect for both the kids and adults.

The local village was beautiful with a church at the top, opposite a fantastic bar where we had lovely evening meals. There were also friendly local shops and a fresh pasta shop.

We hope to return one day to Casa Collina.

We joined some friends who had already been at the villa for a week, which was useful because otherwise we might well have missed the well-hidden "driveway" up to the house... but that is now just part of the nice memories. Splendid location, view over Le Marche fields and meadows, several villages in sight (from the infinity-pool as well)... The villa in itself is very spacious, comfortable, with all modern kitchen equipment, nice bed- and bathrooms (however, still "enjoying" backproblems from too soft mattresses). In all, highly recommended for up to three families, if rented as a whole.

Advantage of Le Marche: it has a lot of the charm of Tuscany (less cypresses, though), but, as a plus, rather few non-Italians (except for the very charming and discrete English couple managing the place). Driving up to Cossignano from the coast at first isn't too promising (ugly industrial-type buildings along the road), but then Le Marche captivates you... Quite enjoyable!
