We had an amazing time! Jeff and Sylvia are the kindest hosts we have ever met: they are so caring and helpful! The apartment is lovely, every detail is pretty and at the same time you can find everything you may need in it. It's very well renovated. The garden is spacious, beautiful and there is plenty of places to sit and enjoy your breakfast or your dinner surrounded by the perfume of the flowers. The house is in the countryside but it's close to some cute towns where it's convenient to go for grocery shopping or just to sightsee a bit. All the nature around is beautiful, from the mountains to the lakes. We really recommend it and actually we hope to be back there soon too!

We stayed at 'Casa di Pietra' after some days in Rome. The contrast couldn't be bigger. It is a very nice place for a relaxt, quiet and comfortable stay.

Forget overcrowded Tuscany or Rome, this is the perfect spot for exploring the spectacular mountains and Medieval villages of central Italy! Jeff and Sylvia have taken old farmhouse buildings and updated them with all modern conveniences (bathrooms in both bedrooms!) while tastefully preserving the old character all set in a beautiful garden with stunning views (we had our own outdoor area for wonderful breakfasts in the morning sun and dinner under the stars). Best of all Jeff and Sylvia know the area backwards and were incredibly generous with their time (and their maps) to help us find perfect hikes (great views for our son who always wants to get to the top, but not too dramatic drops given my vertigo) and share their favorite locations. They knew all the best places to eat locally, when there were open air concerts, which roads and paths were closed because of rock falls. Given that the area is very unused to tourists--nearly everyone we met even in August at restaurants and hiking were Italian and many did not speak English-- this help was invaluable. While we interacted with Jeff and Sylvia quite a bit their house is actually separate and you can have as much privacy as you like. This is really a very special place, cant recommend highly enough.

We were made very welcome and the house was absolutely spot on with plenty of character but with the best modern facilities and furnishings. Lovely peaceful location with easy access to a local town and the mountains.

Wij voelden ons echt speciaal. Er lag van alles klaar en binnen 5 minuten stond de koffie klaar. De ontvangst was warm en met volle overtuiging waren we welkom. Ook tijdens ons verblijf waren Jeff en Sylvia steeds beschikbaar op een prettige en niet opdringerige manier. Lieten ons de omgeving zien (omdat we daar ook belangstelling voor hadden) en meegenieten van de lekkere vruchten die rondom het pand groeiden. Het appartement was super en voldeed aan al onze wensen. Super schoon, praktisch en mooi. Door de gastvrijheid, ligging en kwaliteit is het voor ons een heel fijn verblijf geworden en geweest.

We had a fantastic stay at the beautiful place of Sjaak en Tjalienna. Driving up the mountain road (which is not that difficult to drive compared to what we are used to in Italy!) we arrived on the top of a beautiful hill, where the typical Italian house is situated. The views are amazing, even better than the pictures show you. You can look at Mount the Sibillini the entire day! The house is very complete, has good beds and the outdoor space gives you plenty of opportunity to experience the Italian landscape. We stayed in the house during August. During the day the temperature was nice and warm, perfect for a cool down in the nice pool. During the night it cools down a bit, which results in perfect “sleeping climate”. Ascoli Piceno is about 30 minutes by car, and the beach about 50 minutes. Comunanza is the closest town with a variety of shops and is about 15 minutes away. We would highly recommend a stay at Sjaak and Tjalienna. They are very kind, helpful and easy to reach when you need them. We are traveling to Italy for many years now, and their place has been one of the best stays we had so far! So higly recommended!

Warme herinneringen aan een fijne plek.

"Stunning view" stimmt zu 100%. Die Beschreibung stimmt genau und die Gastgeber und ihre Vertreter wahnsinnig nett und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit. Ein Auto ist ein Muss und es ist von Vorteil, wenn die Kinder kurvige Straßen vertragen.

The house of Tjalliena and Sjaak and their son Yanis is like an island in paradise! It`s a warm and cosy nest, situated in unbelivable landscape and views. The sundowner on the small stonebank with the orange and red pillows is one of the best, and should be the synonym for all the lovely details and the high level of the perfect architecture of the house. The pool house is even more awesome because its a little home for two persons, but connected to the whole. We stayed with 7 people for one week- my big family with girlfriends- and we had so much fun and enjoyed every single detail and moment. Thank you, dear Tjalliena and Sjaak and Yanis for the great offer of your home, and also for the respectful and laidback attidude. We could live our holiday and feel lik at home. Thank you for taking part in the birthday party of my son!

Ongelooflijke locatie! Het uitzicht is adembenemend mooi en zwembad super zalig. We hebben ten volle kunnen genieten met onze kinderen in één van de mooiste vakantiehuizen die we tot nu toe ontdekt hebben. Sjaak & Tjalliena doen hun uiterste best met tips en tricks om jou de ideale vakantie te bezorgen!

Schitterend gelegen huis waar wij een week in de benedenwoning verbleven. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien! Binnen en buiten is alles smaakvol ingericht. Het mooie en grote terras biedt heerlijke schaduw. Het uitzicht rondom is fenomenaal... Prachtig zwembad, vriendelijke eigenaren (die soms in de bovenwoning verblijven) en heerlijke restaurants in de buurt (La Diga). Onze zoon had zijn "eigen huis" in het tuinhuisje. Zeer aan te bevelen voor wie van rust en ruimte houdt!

Excellent stay in the wonderful apartment, nice swimming pool and views to die for. Well equipped kitchen, good beds and a excellent bathroom. Within 15 minutes drive you find the lovely town of Comunanza where you find all the shops you need. Nice surroundings where you can hike or just drink a wonderful expresso. Tjalienna and Tsjaak are very nice and concerned hosts, although they sometimes live on the upper apartment they are very low profile but always available when you need them. We enjoyed are stay very much and strongly recommend a stay in this amazing apartment.

Maison très agréable, au calme de la campagne italienne (mais pas très loin de la mer). Les hôtes sont très accueillants et la maison parfaitement entretenue pour passer un bon séjour en toute quiétude avec une vue à couper le souffle.

Posto meraviglioso, molto adatto a vacanze. Immerso nella natura, tranuillo e pulito

Die Unterkunft ist einfach wunderbar: ruhig gelegen, außerhalb vom Ort, das letzte Haus auf dem Berg, mitten in der Natur. Ganz toll! Die Unterkunft selbst ist geplegt, raffiniert und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Rosella ist sehr gastfreundlich und bereitet ein tolles Frühstück vor. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt und würde jederzeit erneut hin.

Bellissima casa con ampi spazi comuni ed un ampio giardino tutt'intorno, immersa nel verde della campagna marchigiana molto comoda per escursioni nei vicini borghi medievali ed anche al Parco dei Monti Sibillini. Lia e la sua famiglia ci hanno fatto sentire come a casa. La mamma Rossella è stata molto disponibile e accogliente. Ottima e abbondante colazione

Absolute peacful, beautiful and quiet landscape. Great hosts. Clean and beautiful appartement, an a little pool to cool off. Great!

Abbiamo passato delle belle giornate presso la casa di campagna di Caterina, l'alloggio è grande, ben arredato e confortevole con una porzione di giardino di fronte, ed è circondato dalla bellezza della campagna marchigiana della quale si gode un ampio scorcio. La casa è situata sotto il paese, in una zona tranquilla e isolata ma ad un paio di km dai negozi più vicini ( un bar pizzeria e un alimentari che produce salumi). Caterina si è dimostrata una padrona di casa gentile e disponibile e pur non abitando vicino alla casa si è prodigata perché il nostro soggiorno si svolgesse senza problemi. Una esperienza da ripetere, consigliata a chi cerca tranquillità.

Posto bellissimo immerso nella natura e tranquillita. L'ospitalita di Rosella è stata ineguagliabile.

Siamo stati per 3 notti e ci siamo trovati benissimo. La casa è comoda per arrivare ai monti sibillini e ad Ascoli. Lia e sua mamma erano molto gentili e disponibili. Ci hanno fatto sentire come a casa.

It has been a magic week. The house is old and charming. I'm italian and my family come from Amandola, but to host some friend I rent this place. Very good, I can recommend it to everybody.

L'sccoglienza e' stata molto buona. I proprietari sono stati molto gentili e ci hanno messo a disposizione tutto il necessario per poter avere un ottimo soggiorno. Il posto incantevole. La casa e' una bellissima dimora del 600 posizionata nel borgo medievale del paese, molto spaziosa e con tutto davvero tutto il necessario. La gente e' cordiale ed il cibo ottimo. I dintorni sono tutti da visitare. Che dire, speriamo di ritornare presto. Francesca (Roma)

Fiorella is a nice and pleasant host. Very friendly. The house was neat and tidy. From the living room you can enjoy a wonderful landscape. A perfect place to stay, conveniently located to explore the heart of Sibillini Park and both the inland and the coast of Marche. I heartedly recommend to stay at Fiorella's house!
