Agriturismo Serpanera

Top choice in Le Marche


Quite the rural idyll, this 17th-century farmhouse resides in 10 hectares of orchards, vines and woodlands just outside Sarnano. Besides its spotless apartments, it invites lingering with its bucolic mountain views, panoramic pool, spa and barbecue area. For more active stays, you can explore nature trails or saddle up and take to the hills on horseback.

To set you up for the day, your affable hosts, Marco and Cristiana, whip up delicious breakfasts with farm-fresh produce.

The agriturismo is a five-minute drive from Sarnano on the SP78; see the website for directions.
