Montecassiano

Rooms description

There are nine bedrooms. This includes five twin rooms that can also be configured as doubles, two king doubles, a queen double and one room with a sofa bed. The rooms are individually decorated in soft natural tones and are subtly themed around weddings although if you aren’t staying for a wedding, you won’t feel out of place. Traditional parquet floors, comfy beds with beautiful linens and high ceilings offer guests lots of space. One of the doubles is in the garden house which is a standalone building with a living area and kitchenette.

The seven bathrooms, most of which are en-suite, are individually decorated in the same soft, natural shades as the rest of the house. High-performance fixtures and fitting are standard – most are shower rooms but there is a pretty slipper bath in the principal en-suite.

The fully equipped kitchen is exactly what you’d hope to find in a country villa in Marche. The wooden ceiling beams and brick parquet floor are matched by soft white cabinets, a large double oven with a gas hob in the former fireplace, and all the pots and pans you might need to do justice to the local produce. Smeg appliances and a farmhouse table make life easy and if you don’t want to cook, there’s plenty of space for a private chef to work. There is a small kitchen in the garden house.

The main living room has wooden ceiling beams, a brick tiled floor, a large fireplace, and an even larger staircase opposite. Soft white sofas and unholstered benches provide lots of space to sit and there’s a piano, too. A second sitting room, also with a fireplace, has a beautiful artwork of trees taking up one wall, and is another lovely place to sit and chat. There are two inside dining areas, and three outside. The main dining room runs half the length of one wall of the veranda inside, with windows along the outside wall. The light is suitably impressive and there is a woodburning stove with a seating corner in front, and round the corner a fabulous cream bouclé bubble sofa, perfect for sipping a drink from the bar at the end. The second smaller dining space is a round table for five, with a coffee machine on the side, and is perfect for breakfast inside or if a small group needs to work.

Villa Montecassiano is set up for fun: there’s an indoor cinema, or one can be set up outside, and an arcade hall with billiards, whack-a-mole, basketball, one vs one arcade, darts and air hockey and guests can also use the indoor gym, Jacuzzi and sauna.

Your villa and Covid-19

To prevent any possible spread of Covid-19 and to enable you to enjoy a safe and relaxing holiday, all our villas are cleaned to the highest standard possible, and according to the latest Italian health and safety regulations.

Perfect hygiene: to ensure an exceptional level of hygiene in all our villas, we’ve worked with our owners to create a Covid-19 villa management protocol. Based on recommendations from the World Health Organisation, and in compliance with current Italian national law, this protocol goes above and beyond our usual rigorous cleaning standards.

Prior to arrival, your villa will have been fully sanitised, including all surfaces, objects, kitchen items, curtains, sofas, throws, pillows, toys, and in and around the pool. You are welcome to ask for a detailed list of the entire cleaning procedure we do after each departure and before welcoming new guests to the property.

The owner of this house has complied with the following standards:

• To ensure the necessary information concerning social distancing and the use of masks is available to all guests
• To guarantee availability of and accessibility to hand hygiene systems with hydro-alcoholic solutions and soaps in all inside areas of, and pertaining to, the villa
• To guarantee cleaning and disinfection of all areas according to national authority guidelines. Further information is available on request
• For the swimming pool: to guarantee the efficacy of the water treatments, while respecting legal limits (the parameter for free active chlorine in the pool is between 1.0 – 1.5 mg/l; combined chlorine ≤ 0.40 mg/l; pH 6.5 – 7.5 or equivalent oxygen)
• For air conditioning systems: to guarantee the air re-circulation function is switched off and, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, with the plant in off-mode, to clean the air filters of the heating/cooling plants that use heat pumps, fan coils and convectors, at the end of each stay
