As the title says " Beautiful house, link that to beautiful countryside and food, throw in an almost hypnotic calm and you have the perfect recipe for a holiday to inspire and re charge the batteries.

This is not our first visit, that can about when a retired dentist friend would rave incessantly about the Marce and this wonderful cottage. Eventually we thought he"s not without a certain modicum of taste and booked Casa Pero.

Bingo we were hooked and he was forgiven.

Other reviews have mentioned the restaurants where food is good honest Italian country cooking. it great not to have pompous alliterative menus,in fact menus are almost a luxury but don,t be phased what arrives will be a delight.

There are many places to visit but give extra time for the Piano Grande and Ascoli Piceno

This was our eighth visit to Casa Pero, we love it so much here, away from the pressures and worries of home in this lovely house..

We went with 4 friends to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the tiny hamlet of San Biaggio where there is no through traffic and lazing by the pool is a real treat.

The local food is excellent, and very inexpensive, particularly if you go to Agritourismos, which serve local produce and generous quantities of wine, which is included in the price. The owners have a detailed housebook which lists all the good places, including new ones discovered by them.

When it was hot we cooled off in the pool, then sat in shaded areas nearby. The valley surrounding the house is full of olive trees and forests, and the garden is a delight.

The Piane Grande is a 'must see', about 40 minutes drive away, high in the Sibillini mountains Totally unique, breathtaking views, and its little town of Castellucio has several super restaurants. In the past we have taken a picnic to enjoy on the alpine plain.

So, get away from the crowds and traffic, try speaking a little Italian using the house phrasebook (the locals are very friendly and welcoming), you will love Casa Pero as much as we do.

It was so nice to return to Casa Pero last week, just a short visit, but very relaxing just the same. The house was immaculate and welcoming as usual, and we used the wood pellet stove in the evenings for the first time. Very cosy! We had been before early in the year, and were pleased to have lovely spring weather.Despite a few showers,It was very clear and bright and at times warm, especially in the garden.We visited some of our favorite local restaurants and had some great meals, especially at La Lupe, Farfense and Dei Priori. Our Italian is only basic, but the staff were always patient and friendly, helping us through the menus. We didn't venture far this trip, but just enjoyed the peace and quiet. We hope to return again during the summer and to enjoy the pool, one of our favorite occupations! So thank you Lynne and Tony for another great break. Casa Pero is definitely one of our and our friends favorite places to stay,

This year will be our 5th visit to Casa Pero, and an opportunity to again sample the delights of "real" Italy. With each visit we discover another stunning Adriatic beach, a new picturesque hill town and stumble across a new trattoria serving the most delicious of local cuisines. The friendly locals and epic scenery aside Casa Pero itself is the pefect spot for some serious R&R. With every creature comfort catered for inside, the idyllic garden and pool is a tranquil haven for getting stuck into your holiday book and of course a glass or 2 of Presecco! For those that dont enjoy the blistering midday sun, we suggest taking an afternoon snooze in the hammock under the pergola or visiting one of the local villages for italian ice cream! Once tried, we think Casa Pero will also become your very own La Dolce Vita.
