casale lilla 6 - marches

The white façade, the pergolas covered with antique tiles, the little windows with mauve shutters, the green plants climbing the walls immediately strike one’s eye, creating an almost surreal scene, like a painting, from which emerges CASALE LILLA. The entrance, along the stone-paved drive way, leads us to this charming, delightful farmhouse in Provençal style, which brings to mind the manors of the past. The owners have paid careful and skilful attention to the salvaging of the materials, keeping as much as possible the original characteristics of the structure: the interior finish sees the alternation of white walls alongside bricks, wooden beams and tiles for the ceilings, wooden stairs and terracotta floors. Please Note: when the property is rented in this solution no other guests will be present on sit

Location

The province of Pesaro represents a synthesis of Italy where, in a few kilometres of territory, the harsh rugged mountains (many reliefs are higher than 2000 metres) descend to the coast, in places gentle and sandy, in others wild and rocky, passing through countryside characterized by gentle hills dotted by vines, olives and sunflowers and by little old villages with their imposing fortresses, churches, museums rich in history, sparkling historical theatres and all the cultural wealth belonging to every one of them. All this is spread over a still integral environment which, like a precious jewel box, holds surprising natural treasures and jealously guards the secrets of the old crafts and the wine and food tradition which perfectly conciliates the aromas of the Adriatic fish with the specialities of the hinterland, skilfully combined with the thirteen DOC wines produced in this area. Among the hills, on the slopes of the Apennines, is the thriving truffle harvest which, with the fish and the dry white wine (Bianchello del Metauro), is one of the strong points of the local cuisine.
