- About The Experience
-
Positioned midway between the sea and the hinterland, overlooking the beautiful Metauro Valley and Furlo Canyon, this restored 17th-century villa is a destination unto itself. The villa was once the summer residence of the archbishops of Urbino and is now a spectacular location for a wedding, special celebration or an unforgettable vacation in the Marche region.

The villa is located in Montemaggiore al Metauro, a medieval hilltop village in the province of Pesaro e Urbino. The village is home to restaurants, the 15th-century church of Santa Maria del Soccorso and picturesque pointed bell towers, and it offers panoramic views of the lower Metauro Valley. Montemaggiore al Metauro is known for its Bianchello del Metauro wine and Valmetauro cheese. It is within driving distance of the beach as well as the coastal playground of La Riviera del Conero, the Grotte di Frasassi, a renowned karst cave system, and the medieval fortress at Gradara.

Customer Reviews
Overall:
We had a very relaxing time and enjoyed the property grounds and location the owners were kind and helpful with the few issues we encountered and made our stay very comfortable.
Enjoyed Most:
The outdoor areas and grounds the little chapel and the peaceful surroundings.
Enjoyed Least:
The bedroom configuration, with a loft bed in most rooms. This was not ideal for extended family or friends who visited us.
Surrounding Area:
The landscape, the proximity to the Adriatic coast, the many working farms and small shops with fresh produce.
Nearby Events or Locales:
San Liberio is within walking distance and features at least three good restaurants.
Tips or Restaurants:
Yes, the restaurant owned by the family La Greppia. Also a good pizzeria nearby la Cantinaza.
Directions:
There are directions in the area closest to the villa, but the GPS worked best.
Check In Out:
It was very simple and smooth we had requested a late check out and were accommodated.
Anna, September
Overall:
Outstanding! The staff was helpful with our every request. The villa is spectacular, and the region is an authentic treasure. The whole family enjoyed our stay, from 15 months old boy to 71 year old grandpa!
Enjoyed Most:
Beautiful inside and out with room to be together (15 people), or to have separate space. Fully-equipped kitchen and wonderful pool and grounds.
Enjoyed Least:
Beds and pillows were a bit firm. The water pressure upstairs was zero one day in the late morning when the property was being irrigated. Otherwise, perfect!
Surrounding Area:
The small villages, espcially. Mondavio. Friendly people in the towns and villages.
Nearby Events or Locales:
The closest village, San Liberio, had a good grocery store with good wine and liquor choices. About 2 km away, but the road is narrow and not good to walk.
Tips or Restaurants:
Mosquito repellant is a good idea.
Directions:
Directions were perfect.
Check In Out:
No, it was simple and easy.
