AN ITALIAN JEWEL

“We spent the last week of August ‘09 at Casa Tranquilla and it’s stunning.

We travelled from Bologna taking the coastal road to Ancona then turning inland toward the mountains. Casa Tranquilla is set in the Sibillini mountain range near to the small town of San Ginesio, it’s fitted and equipped to the very highest of standards. The scenic views from the villa, the superb pool and the quiet, slow moving surroundings make it a perfect place to relax.

The nearby towns of Tolentino and San Ginesio are traditional and clean with restaurants, shops and interesting sites (the Ice Cream shop in Tolentino and Pizza in the square in San Ginesio were very popular with my lot).

Equip yourself with bottles of the local wine, fresh meat and produce then get the BBQ to cook it all as slowly as possible.”

family paradise

“We fell in love with this villa from the moment we arrived. It is set in the most beautiful location surrounded completely by the most amazing views. It may sound clichéd but we did feel we were in paradise. We stayed at the villa as two families and our family of four was in the ‘pool house’. This worked really well, giving each family a little bit of space. With both bedrooms having en-suite wet rooms, it was better equipped than we have in our own house.

The villa is set up for group entertaining and we enjoyed many fantastic meals at the outside BBQ table which seats fourteen. The villa is glorious - the whole place has been fitted out to the highest standards. If only we could capture it all and take it home!

I would recommend Casa Tranquilla for family groups with children over 4 years (any younger and you may worry about the pool area). If you are looking to get away from it all and relax this place is perfect.”

perfect girly weekend

“This fantastic villa is in the most idyllic setting! Casa Tranquilla is a mix of modern and authentic Italian and manages a skillful balance between boutique hotel and feeling like being at home. The impressive pool has outstanding views that you could just sit and stare at all day. There are lots of DVDs and very comfortable sofas so we could chill very happily when the heat beat us inside.

The local town of San Ginesio has a couple of excellent bars and restaurants, and I know there are many touristy things to do in the area like ballooning and cycling and some excellent mountain walks, but we did not have time on this trip. The villa is literally equipped with everything you could think of so a great place any time of the year, either to escape to for a girls weekend or to go with the family for a long holiday. I highly recommend it!”

simply stunning

“We had a fantastic family holiday, getting away from it all without sacrificing any home comforts. The villa is a sympathetic, contemporary conversion with a high level of attention to detail. All our needs were anticipated and catered for, while being surrounded by stunning countryside. It ticks every box for a get-away-from-it-all holiday.”

long Lazy Days

“For a relaxing break, Casa Tranquilla certainly lives up to its name; the peace and quiet here is only surpassed by the stunning panoramic views. The deck surrounding the swimming pool is just the best place to enjoy long lazy days, and with gin and tonic in hand, is the perfect spot for sun set watching. The farmhouse and annex are simply lovely, the whole place has a great homely feel. We had a super time here and could certainly stay a while longer, thank you very much for introducing us to this lovely corner of Italy.”
