Where do I begin??? The food the wine the hosts the countryside...it all exceeded my expectations. We travelled with some friends through Italy and our stay here was the best part of the 2 weeks. The reception we got after being in the car for several hours??Beautiful Ashley with a jug of wine, some snacks and an incredible view of... more

We very much enjoyed our trip to the Le Marche area of Italy. It seemed like Tuscany without the crowds - an undiscovered gem. We spent a wonderful day with Chef Jason in his big stone kitchen cooking an incredible lunch. Jason is a terrific cook and his casual approach to Italian "slow cooking" is wonderful - and delicious! Even... more

We - a family of four with two sons ages 9 and 7 - planned our recent visit to Italy at the last minute. We wanted to visit Le Marche, where we had never been, and so turned to Trip Advisor for help. Based largely on the reviews here, we decided to book at La Tavola Marche. What a great... more

We arrived at La Tavola Marche in time for lunch. From the moment we checked in Ashley and Jason Bartner (the owners) treated us with the warmth and generosity of family. Th property itself is a gorgeous stone house with a hugh kitchen (they were making homemade plum jam when we arrived); and dining room (try the 4 course dinner,... more

Although you are in the peaceful countryside you are minutes from two lovely towns, Piobbico and Urbania. You are less than an hour from Urbino, a beautiful college town, the birthplace of Rafael, less than... more

This region must be what Tuscany was like 20+ years ago. This slow, casual, and proud bred of Italians in the La Marche region were so disarmingly and surprisingly pleasant and kind, that it took my breath away. But the real delight was meeting the owners of La Tavola Marche, American-born Ashley & Jason Bartner. Their gracious hospitality and genuine... more

Can you do something idiotic like break your ankle while on vacation at a rural agriturismo in the Le Marche region of Italy, and have it turn into a fabulous experience? Yes! When you’re lucky enough to do it at Ashley & Jason’s gorgeous La Tavola Marche. Mostly, what 99.9% of you want to know, is this: astonishingly beautiful location;... more

Can you tell we enjoyed our stay? Everything at La Tavola was exactly what we hoped for and more. Beautiful surroundings in the hills of Marche, quiet towns with local flavour, relaxing poolside afternoons, gracious hosts & the best food we had during our Italian trip. Ashley and Jason go out of their way to make sure you feel at... more
