The large terrace sheltered by a pergola is ideal for dining alfresco and is equipped with table seating up to 10 people.

The brands stay in the heart

A dream holiday ended way too fast and we would like to thank our hosts, who always, if we had only the klindest question (and that were quite a few) immediately for us and helped us. The house is really in a beautiful environment. Unfortunately, we relied on our sat nav on arrival and had some difficulties with the steep dirt road, but thanks to Paul we used another way, which was better to drive. the house and the pool have been prepared with a lot of effort and love and very well equipped. We used the pizza oven, grooved and just enjoyed this wonderful tranquility and scenery. Of course, our girls just had to get used to the many roommates like spiders, scorpions, centipedes, crickets and Gekos, but I have to accept this when I want to spend some time in the countryside. we have come as tourists, as friends, and have fallen in love with this unbelievably beautiful environment. We will be back ! A big thank you again to Paul for his patience, help and effort.

Everything we wished for!

Comfortabe farmhouse, well looked after and clean. The pool is lovely and the kitchen well equipped. A quiet, private location. The only people we saw were “the poolboy” (twice) and two hunters strolling through the fields on a early sunday morning. It’s the countrylife all over with steep adventurous roads over the hills. Within an hour drive there’s lots of interesting places to visit and the shops are only 15 mins. away. Would we go here again? Without hesitation: yes!

About the host

Hosted by Paul McKelvie

About the owner
My wife and I live in the north east of England and having worked in social work for many years still work as self-employed social care consultants. We both love Italy and spend as much time there as work permits. We have a grown up family who have spent many holidays with us relaxing at Podere dei Tordi. Our eldest son had his wedding there in 2011 and we surprised ourselves with the success of an ambitious "festa" for 100 people!

We like the idea of the house being used and enjoyed by people and provide some rental availability so that more people are able to enjoy it.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with le marche after a holiday in the area with friends. On impulse we bought the house because it was in a beautiful location and offered access to shops, towns and main roads. We wanted tranquility but not isolation. We restored the house over a couple of years and during that time fell more in love with the authenticity of the area including the local wine and food and friendly people. We may be off the main tourist routes but there is much to see and experience of interest and beauty across the whole of the region.

What makes this property unique

You do need a car to come to our property as we are up in the hills but easy to find and not far from airports or trains. We are equi-distant to lovely beaches and a popular lake and mountains. We also have a good road linking us to both just 5 minutes down the hill from our property.
Our house is family friendly and well-equipped, including beach towels. We have a great pizza oven and large bbq as well the usual delights of a swimming pool and good outside eating area. We don't overstate what there is. We just want people to enjoy the simple pleasures on offer. Many guests comment that the place is much more beautiful than they expected and some have returned year on year.
