We booked last minute and totally on the hoof so had no idea what to expect. Villa San Raffaello surpassed all expectations, Our hosts, Damien, Sharon, Grace and Louis were so welcoming as to make us feel as though we were coming home. The apartments were tastefully decorated, thoughtfully planned and full of character. Going to somewhere new and rural... more

I visited in March this year and and enjoyed a lovely relaxing week. The villa itself is charming as are the owners, who are very helpful with lots of information about the local area, produce, amenities and so on. The town of Sarnano is a short drive or a 20 minute walk away and is a joy with it's many... more

We travel to Italy frequently for business and pleasure and needed this particular time to find a base to make the most out of our week in Italy. We found Villa San Raffaello and found the website to be through and extremely informative – everything you can think of is on there – and if not the owners find out... more

Comfortable apartment and ensuite bedroom. Swimming pool with views of mountains. Individual private outside dining area. 20 min. walk to shops, cafes, restaurants, park , in nearby Sarnano. Best feature was daytime mountain view, nightime town view. Walk into town along busy roadside, not so pleasant. Would have preferred shorter distance along footpaths. more

Damien, Sharon and the 2 children were wonderful hosts and we were very comfortable in the villa. It was decorated to a high standard with all that you would need, thoroughly enjoying the food, the wine, the country, the refreshing pool and our stay! Sarnano was a gem and there was so much history and beautiful villages / towns to... more

I googled the website (which by the way is superbly designed and very informative) and was immediately taken in by what the region of Le Marche seemed to have to offer. I had day free in my... more

We said we'd go back and we did! Our previous visit was in July last year, so this time we decided to sample the delights of Marche in autumn and weren't disappointed - far from it! If anything this holiday surpassed the first one. The villa in autumn is even more attractive; set as it is amongst gilding trees and... more

Villa San Raffaello is a piece of paradise. It's situated in the Le Marche region of Italy between the Sibillini Mountains and the Adriatic. This lovingly restored farmhouse is within walking distance of the quaint hillside town, Sarnano. The area is gorgeous, sunflower fields, tall mountains, olive orchards and high meadows. My husband, myself and our two daughters, ages 5... more
