Villa in the Vineyard offers you a relaxing escape from the pressures of modern life. A time to get away from it all in one of the most beautiful areas of Italy - voted by Lonely Planet as the No 2 Region to visit in the world. The Villa is set in 7.5 hectares of managed vineyards and farmland, surrounded by breath-taking views, with the mountains in one direction and the sea in the other. You will have time to focus on the beauty of the world around you and your own wellbeing in this region known for sustainable living.

The spacious holiday apartment (130 m2) with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms is on the ground-floor of a stylish villa which was totally rebuilt 14 years ago to the highest environmental standards, using as many of the original materials as possible to maintain the traditional character. Combine Italian architecture with state-of-the art renewable technology to heat/cool and power the house and you have the perfect holiday home – style and authenticity with all the comforts of modern living, run in a way which is more sustainable for our environment and better for our own health. Villa in the Vineyard has a Green Tourism Gold Award for its ethical credentials.

From our non-toxic wall paints and ionized water swimming pool to the complementary organic toiletries, Villa in the Vineyard is committed to offering only the best for your health and wellbeing. Enjoy the simple pleasures of trying locally produced food either in the many restaurants or alfresco on your private terrace; tasting the organic DOC wines at the neighbouring winery – you can even walk through the vines, which grow on our land; relaxing in the sun and swimming in the private pure water swimming pool; having fun on the many blue-flag beaches along the Adriatic coast; connecting with nature in the Sibillini mountains, where you will see nature at its most unspoilt.

The villa has thickly insulated walls with natural materials and non-toxic paints, which allow the walls to breathe.

The Villa is pet-free and we only use organic, environmentally-friendly cleaning products and laundry detergents. We provide complementary organic washing-up liquid and eco dishwasher tablets with organic toiletries in the bathrooms.
