About our home

La Cupa is a traditional Marchigiana farmhouse commanding an imposing position above the Adriatic sea. The house sits on the edge of a small protected pine and woodland area above a pretty seaside village. Sea views one side and farmland the other. Our second home is fully renovated and modernised to a very high standard, it is built of honey coloured stone that reflects the Italian sun. This keeps the inside cool during the balmy summer months yet insulates the property during winter.

La Cupa (lacupa.com) offers spacious accomodation (235m2) over two floors. The house is set in over 2 hectares of land, much of which has been landscaped. It is very much a home from home with all the comforts you might need.

The house has three double bedrooms upstairs; two have double beds, one with an en-suite shower room and balcony overlooking the sea. The third bedroom is a large children's room with twin single beds and lots of toys. There is a separate large bathroom with bath and shower. All the rooms upstairs have mosquito blinds to pull down at night and ceiling fans for sleeping comfort on very hot nights. There is also a sofa bed in one of the sitting rooms downstairs. A cot (new) is also available.

Young children have stayed happily here but they would need to be supervised as the pool is not gated and there are two caves on the land which are not suitable for playing as they have not been structurally checked. The house sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty is ten minutes walk (downhill) to a pretty beach, less than an hour from the the stunning Sibillini Mountains, 35 minutes to the beautiful town of Ascoli Piceno yet only 45 minutes from the airports of Ancona or Pescara.

It is possible to reach Rome or Bologna in two and half hours but there are many beautiful and undiscovered towns and villages nearby.

Local beaches have things to do for the children and our local beach, part stone/part sand is very family orientated. It is possible to hire bikes in a nearby village and cycle miles along the beach cycle route.

There are many wonderful festivals throughout the year, celebrating the local food of the village/town. Our local village is famous in Italy for mussels so every year they organise a huge 3 day mussel festival which is attended by thousands.

Le Marche is a beautiful area....rural and made of up a rich tapestry of farmland. You could quite easily go for a week and only hear Italian voices...that was the appeal for us buying in this location.
