About this villa rental
Casa Luna has been recently restored to a high standard with warm maple wood floors on top levels accessed by softly-lit travertine staircases and lies in a quiet pedesttian lane in the historic center of Amandola, a few minutes walk from the medieval piazza.
The villa retains original 19th century stenciled and domed ceiling, oak beams and an open fireplace in the living room that leads to a pretty patio with a fountain for al fresco dining and a tranquil garden with a palm tree, flowering jasmine, roses and fruit trees.
Set over 3 floors with 2 large and airy double bedrooms, a 3rd bedroom/study and 3 bathrooms, the bedrooms offer breathtaking views over rooftops and church spire, beautifully lit at night, to the changing vistas of the Sibillini mountains beyond, which offer walking and hiking on well marked paths suitable for all levels of fitness and other outdoor activities.
The middle floor has a relaxing living-dining room and galley kitchen leading directly onto the patio and garden, offering space to relax away from the bustle of main piazza with its historic café-bar, delicious gelateria, a convenient small supermarket with well stocked delicatessen, bakery, banks with ATMs and other small shops.
The sandy beaches of the Adriatic and, in winter, ski slopes, are less than an hour’s drive away, as are many pretty neighbouring medieval hill towns and villages with year-round festivals of food, wine, jazz, theatre, opera. Amandola is renowned for its truffles and every November a truffle festival is held in the main square with music and local produce.
The sandy beaches of the Adriatic coast are just 30-40 minutes away by car as is a freshwater lake with its own beach. In winter skiing is available in neighbouring Sarnano.
This area of Le Marche is truly an undiscovered gem with stunning scenery and a warm welcome by the local people.

Christine has done beautiful work renovating her home in Amandola. The inside of the home is very comfortable. Our only complaint about the inside is the shower water temperature. You get about 5 seconds of hot water before the water turns cold and it just keeps fluctuating. My husband and I had that same problem consistently during our stay. The garden space is lovely, but the chairs shown in the photos are not there now. The only seating in the garden is two rather uncomfortable wooden chairs with no arms and no cushions. There is no other seating in the extensive garden areas. Be aware that you need to walk up about 100 steps on a steep street to get to the house. David, who met us in the piazza tomdirectmusnto the house, very kindly helped us with our two suitcases when we first arrived. Also be aware that you are expected to take all of your trash out of the house, down the hill and deposit it outside the town walls. The kitchen was fine for us. There is a small grocery store behind the main piazza where we bought coffee, milk, fruit, wine, etc., and we had breakfast, apertivos, and dinner in the garden area almost every day of our stay. As Christine notes in her description, the house does not have parking - we were able to find parking spots outside the walls every day. It is a bit harder on Wednesday, the town market day, but we did find a spot not too far away.

We fell in love with Amandola & Marche what a beautiful part of Italy. Christine’s home was the perfect retreat from a hot day touring the region and only 2 mins to the Piazza for a glass of wine to watch the world go by. We’ve visited many parts of Italy but Marche for us knocks the others out of the park.

We had a lovely stay in Christine's beautiful townhouse in the small town of Amandola over the New Year period. We arrived in the evening after the drive from Ancona airport and soon found ourselves happily relaxed in front of the fire in the living room. The house still retains many of its original features and has been lovingly restored to give it a modern feel but with traditional aspects such as marble flooring. It is both spacious yet cosy - we were a group of four but easily have been six! The windows face one of the Sibilini mountains and it was wonderful to look out each morning to see the snow-capped peak in the distance.We spent several days exploring the local area and the surrounding towns, enjoying walks in the hills and of course the amazing food in Italy! Christine had helpfully left us maps with walks marked on them, as well as local landmarks and pretty villages to visit; she was also very responsive if we had a query about anything too. We visited in the winter which was lovely and I am looking forward to returning in the summer to explore the beaches along the coast. I would highly recommend a stay there!
