Casa Apollonia is idyllically situated in peaceful countryside, in the heart of Le Marche. To the front of the property is a small lane that leads to a number of charming villages just minutes away - a tranquil, yet certainly not isolated location. The landscaped gardens to the rear boast fantastic views and there’s plenty of space for rest and relaxation.

The garden:

• The one-hectare garden has been designed by a landscape architect and offers all of the privacy you’d expect from a superior holiday home. Highlights include plucking grapes from the vineyard, wander among the olive trees, play a game of ping pong on the permanent table, have a petanque competition, or simply savor the majestic and beautiful surroundings with a glass of wine. Dolce far niente...
• The large, landscaped garden is fully enclosed by a thicket and hawthorn hedge.
• Expansive views of the surrounding Le March countryside.
• Outdoor shower, various natural stone terraces, 12x3.5m swimming pool.
• 12 x 3.5 m swimming pool. Water purification is via an automatic salt electrolysis installation that dispenses a low dose salt (NaCl) solution in free chlorine and lye. The chlorine is converted back to salt within a closed system, resulting in soft, natural swimming pool water after treatment!
• Pergola by the pool with adjustable sun loungers, lounge chairs, easily movable seats, and folding chairs..
• Olive trees and vines with edible red and white grapes.
