"Villa Vernaschi – Heart of Le Marche"

Villa Vernaschi welcomes you to the heart of the Marche countryside, in a setting only this part of Italy can offer: rolling green hills, with the mountains standing watch just around the corner. Fully restored to the latest earthquake-safety standards, the villa shows off its authentic Marche character.

The pool was completely renovated in 2025. It's generously sized, with a sun terrace complete with umbrellas and loungers. Guests also have use of a large garden where children can run and play, and a patio with a wood-fired oven and barbecue: perfect for al fresco dinners overlooking the garden and the countryside, turning your evenings into something to celebrate.

The villa is now divided into two self-contained apartments, both reserved exclusively for guests, with five bedrooms in total. Each apartment has its own kitchen and living room, giving everyone privacy whenever they want it, while the layout also makes it easy to spend time all together: you can choose to cook, have lunch or dinner in just one apartment or make use of both.

This home blends the pleasure of shared moments with the freedom to enjoy your own: a space that welcomes larger groups without ever sacrificing intimacy. Ideal for two or three families or groups of friends who want to share their holiday while keeping their own space. All the bedrooms and full bathrooms are upstairs, while the ground floor is home to the kitchens, living rooms and two cloakrooms with utility/laundry facilities. As the bedrooms are upstairs, please keep a close eye on young children, since the villa does not have stair safety gates. Full details of the bedroom layout can be found in the Bedrooms section of this listing.

Sleeps up to 6 adults (3 couples) plus 5 children or teenagers.

During your stay, a member of our staff will carry out routine pool and skimmer checks, discreetly and without prior notice.

Check-in is between 3pm and 6pm; check-out is by 10am, with no exceptions.

A pre-cleaning fee applies, payable in cash at check-in, covering garden maintenance, linen and the initial sanitisation of the house. Please read the booking terms carefully.

As for cleaning at check-out, the villa must be left tidy: dishes washed and put away, used linen left on the floor, fridge and freezer emptied, and the house, garden and pool area cleared of rubbish. Any breach of the house rules is subject to the terms set out in the rental contract.

In line with Italian short-term rental regulations, consumables such as food or spare toilet paper cannot be left in the house. Only the initial set of linen (sheets and towels) is provided, with no change during your stay; pool towels are not included. If you'd like cleaning during your stay, we're happy to put you in touch with local providers, to be paid directly. Firewood for the barbecue and other extras are not included, but are easy to find nearby.
Free on-site parking is available for a strict maximum of 5 cars. Electric vehicle charging is not available. For the security of both guests and the property, CCTV cameras are in operation in the outdoor areas only. There are no cameras inside the house.

A security deposit is required. It is paid directly through VRBO, not to us, and refunded within seven days of check-out, following a thorough inspection of the property.

The villa does not provide any services directly, but you're welcome to contact local businesses for a private cook, an in-villa pizza chef, cleaning during your stay, boat trips, meal delivery, firewood, Italian-speaking babysitters (subject to availability) and a personal interpreter/translator.

The property is not suitable for groups of young people looking to party with loud music into the early hours.

Please note: this is a brief, non-exhaustive summary. The full house rules are set out exclusively in the rental contract, which must be downloaded and read in full before you complete your booking.
