About this property

Beautifully restored farmhouse in an idyllic setting

The impressive Casa Serena has been sympathetically restored, retaining a wealth of original features; it is a rustic, traditional, spacious and inviting 5 bedroom Marchigianan farmhouse with an adjoining one bedroom self contained apartment. The house is set in 5 acres of beautiful private grounds boasting a walnut grove and numerous fruit trees. French doors open onto terracing which encircle the house and border the landscaped gardens and pool terrace. There is a beautiful loggia accessible from the kitchen, via French doors, for 'alfresco' dining. The extensive lawn merges with a meadow that stretches beyond to the Saline river at the foot of the valley, perfect for country walks and spotting the local wildlife. The stunning swimming pool is for the exclusive use of our guests and boasts enchanting views along the valley and a classic Italian vista composing white road and cypress encircled distant hillside villa, the tranquility and privacy create the perfect environment for a relaxing, sun soaking holiday.


The surrounding area: Nestling in the charming Saline Valley Nature Reserve, Casa Serena is the perfect base for country walks and spotting the local wildlife including roe deer, pine martens, porcupines, buzzards and the very rare golden oriole. One of Penna San Giovanni's best restaurants is a pleasant 15 minutes walk from the house. Penna San Giovanni, has two grocery stores, two bars/cafes (one with a pizzeria in the basement serving some the best pizzas for miles), several restaurants in the vicinity, an atmospheric open air bar and pizzeria (also serving delicious pizzas) which is situated above the lovely children’s playground in the 'pista', an enoteca serving local wines and foo, a bakery, a butcher, a pharmacy, a tobacconist, a doctor's surgery and a hairdresser.

Child friendly: Casa Serena is suitable for children though younger children should be supervised at all times as the gardens and pool are open areas. Casa Serena is fully equipped for babies and toddlers, we have a travel cot, cot linen, baby monitor, high chairs, potty, toilet seat, play mat, toys and books, plastic cups, plates and cutlery.

A small self contained apartment adjoins the main house and is sometimes occupied by the owners, who can be discreetly at hand if required to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible, as well as regularly cleaning the pool and watering of the plants and garden.

Second visit
We already visited Casa Serena in 2021 and we did it again. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming, offering lots of information for trips around the area, also shopping possibilities. The house is very good equipped, clean and spacious. We liked the pool and garden. A perfect place for a summer holiday!

Urlaub 2023
Das Ferienhaus ist sehr schön und für 10 Personen sehr gut ausgestattet. Der Pool ist herrlich. Die Anfahrt ist schwierig aber zu bewältigen. Tatsächlich hatten wir die Wegzeiten zu Ausflugszielen unterschätzt, Marken ist bergiger und die Straßen teilweise weniger befestigt als gedacht. Unzufrieden sind wir mit der nachträglichen Forderung zur Erstattung von 3 plötzlich defekten Mückenschutzfenstern. Wir werden kein Haus mehr ohne „Abnahme“ verlassen und empfehlen eventuelle Mängel sofort zu monieren.

Peace in isolation
Jen is an amazing host— always willing to help make reservations or suggestions about the best and easiest routes to take. And David couldn’t have been kinder in leading us to the house that first day! The house is lovely And better equipped than my own home. The kitchen is amazing and the welcome basket perfect for the first night and breakfast the following morning. Because of where the house is situated there is almost always a breeze even in the height of the summer. And pool was so refreshing with toys galore for all ages. It is imperative to have a car and one with a little umph is helpful since the house is at the end of a long and hilly mostly unpaved one lane road. While the isolation of the house means quiet and peace, it is important to know that nothing is close All activities are at the very least half an hour away. But note that there are many to be had—beaches, restaurants, lakes, national parks, and even an incredible three-star restaurant.

Fantastische plek in onontdekt stukje Italië
Fantastische gerenoveerde vakantiewoning, van alle gemakken voorzien. Erg schoon en erg vriendelijke gastvrouw. Er stond een welkomstmand met eten en drinken voor ons klaar! Super! We hebben een heerlijke week gehad met een uitstapje naar het strand, het stuwmeer en verschillende stadjes. We wilden meer ontdekken maar de secundaire wegen maken dat je reistijd verdubbelt. Maar relaxen bij het zwembad is een prima alternatief. Heerlijk gegeten in het nabijgelegen dorp.
