The smart way to own a dream home in Italy for a fraction of the cost
  
Shaded beneath an olive tree sipping wine from your own vineyard, gazing across the rolling hills down to the sea, feels like a dream but it could be a reality.


 
Le Marche is real Italy, a place of olive oil, pasta, wine and sunshine, Roman ruins and renaissance palaces.   The area has 500 piazzas and over a hundred towns boasting great works of art, 73 historic theatres and the largest number of museums and galleries in Italy. Enjoy the open air opera house in the famous amphitheatre in Macerata.
 
The beautiful countryside estate of Giacomo Leopardi is situated just below the medieval town of Montefiore dell’Aso, recently voted one of the most beautiful towns in Le Marche.  This luxury development consists of three beautiful properties sitting in 5 acres with stunning views of the Adriatic Sea and Sibillini mountains.  The region has a tremendous combination of beach life, skiing, restaurants, vineyards and designer shopping.  Owners can live the Italian dream and experience the art, history, culture and culinary delights of real Italy.
 
The quality of construction, interior furnishings and facilities reflect a luxurious proposition.  The development of a new organic vineyard and 3 olive groves offers more than just a holiday home. Owners will  share the wine and olives produced each year and can be  involved in the growing, picking and production if they so wish.
 
Appassionata has sourced both traditional and natural materials, working with local artisans in the design and production of wall lights, iron work, marble staircase, special paint finishes, large chestnut beams and a handmade dinner service designed and made exclusively for Appassionata by Bozzi, the famous Italian potter.
 
Casa Giacomo has four double bedrooms, three bespoke bathrooms, spacious living area with entertainment centre, casually elegant dining room, two fireplaces, under floor heating, fully equipped Italian kitchen with granite work tops and sink, utility room with washer and drier, large swimming pool with antique terracotta terracing, all weather tennis court, newly planted vineyard, olive groves and beautiful landscaped gardens. Large windows maximize the spectacular views across the rolling hills down to the sea.
 
Your home is always beautifully prepared for your arrival, allowing you time to relax immediately. There is no need to worry about gardening or pool cleaning when you are in residence or security and maintenance when you are not.
 
A 15 minute walk away is the ancient town of  Montefiore dell’Aso which offers art, history and  culture, bars, cafes, restaurants and traditional shops.



 
The nearest beach, Pedaso, is a 10 minute drive and skiing and snow boarding in the Sibillini mountains is less than an hour away.  For those who enjoy walking there are 2 national parks, 4 regional parks and 5 nature reserves.
 
Owners are investing in ‘bricks and mortar’, in an asset that can be enjoyed by family and friends. Fractional owners don’t have the financial burden of maintaining the property all year round, as the running costs are shared between owners, making fractional ownership truly affordable.
 
Fractional ownership properties are filling a growing need for new travel options.  The middle class and affluent alike are discovering that fractional ownership is a viable and more desirable alternative than whole ownership.  It feels like a second home with all the benefits of whole ownership at a fraction of the cost.

  1. Looks a great place but how does this fractional ownership work? Would I have the freedom to sell my 'fractional property' whenever I chose and at realistic market price? Thanks

  2. Great summary of 'real Italy', Le Marche, which includes wonderful people like our friend Marcello (pictured) at his delightful pizzeria 'Mama Rosa' in Ortezzano. Always my first evening meal when I get to Montalto, and I can't wait to be back there! Fran
