We spent an amazing week here during the Easter holidays 2012. A beautiful villa, lovingly restored set against the most spectacular backdrop of the Sibillini Mountains. An amazing view whilst sitting by the pool, watching the landscape changing with the light. The picturesque town of Sarnarno, with its locally produced food market, gelaterie,cafes and bars open till late with live... More

We stayed here (in Grazia) for a week in August 2012. It is such a beautiful place and the accommodation is great - practical yet with home comforts. Our holiday could have been a disaster as our hire car broke down after a couple of days and no replacement was available (note: avoid Sixt hire company at all costs) but... More

Exploring Marche we found this piece of paradise just a few km outside the gorgeous town Sarnano and a relatively short drive from beautiful Ascoli Piceno and the Appenines. A restored wineyard of some sort, Villa San Rafaello is both pieceful and quiet and offers the perfect family hangout. We especially enjoyed the pool with its quiet surroundings, the sunflowers...

What a pleasant surprise at the end of our first trip to Italy. Villa San Raffaello and its gracious host, Damien, provided great guidance and suggestions in our search for connections to ancestors. We would not have succeeed without suggestion from him. The Villa provides a very comfortable plce to relax after exploring this beautiful region. Not overrun by tourists,... More

Where do I begin? ... Well let me start by offering some perspective, I enjoy travelling and have taken many trips to lots of lovely places - but I can honestly say that I don't think I've EVER enjoyed a holiday as much as the one I've just had at Villa San Raffaello. On other holidays I've experienced either great... More

We spent the second week of our Italy holiday at Villa San Rafaello, moving from the more developed Tuscanny to the unspoilt Le Marche region. If you're after a resort that has restaurants and amenities on your doorstep, then you probably should think twice about VSR. However, if you're happy to drive a couple of minutes to the lovely town... More

We had a wonderful week at Villa San Raffaello in July 2012. The setting of the villa is stunning, with superb views in all directions. As a family of four (the children are 3 and 5), we were looking for spacious and safe accommodation with a shared pool. We stayed in Apartment Damiano and it was perfect for us. Two... More

I don't normally write reviews, but I have to on this occasion! This Villa was a great place to stay. Its in a lovely part of the Le Marche region. Damien is probably the best host in the world! As the ol' cliche goes. But he was! His knowledge of the area is fantastic and to think in the 7... More

Villa San Raffaello is a little bit of paradise in the hidden gem of Italy that is Le Marche. We loved the tranquility of the villa, a villa which must have one of the best views in Italy! It has been very tastefully renovated by Damien and Sharon the owners, who have real eye for detail and creative style. We... More
