Villa Alta Valle

Tucked away in the undisturbed hills of Le Marche, Villa Alta Valle is a peaceful countryside retreat that captures the spirit of slow living. Perched 400 metres above sea level, this stone-built villa near Acqualagna feels worlds away from the rush of daily life. Split into two independent units, it’s perfectly suited to two families or a group of friends travelling together who want shared experiences with the option for privacy. Inside, exposed stonework, wooden ceilings and cosy furnishings create a warm, rustic atmosphere. Each apartment has its own kitchen and living space, with a total of three bedrooms, multiple bathrooms and a sofa bed to accommodate extra guests.

Outside, the villa opens onto a large, well-maintained garden filled with olive trees, shaded seating, and outdoor games, including a life-sized chessboard, ping-pong, table football, and space for lawn games. The covered outdoor dining areas are ideal for leisurely lunches or dinners straight from the wood-fired oven or barbecue. The standout feature? A generously sized pool with views across the hills and valleys below.

With nature all around and charming hill towns close by, Villa Alta Valle offers the kind of simple, soulful holiday that makes you slow down and savour each day.

Villa Alta Valle is located in the green heart of Le Marche, just a short drive from Acqualagna, a charming town famed for its truffle fairs and rustic cuisine. Surrounded by nature, the villa sits in a peaceful hillside spot, offering sweeping views and a truly restorative setting. Local hiking trails wind through forested slopes, while scenic drives reveal hilltop towns, rivers, and untouched landscapes.

In Acqualagna, you'll find small supermarkets, bakeries, family-run restaurants and cafes offering fresh pasta, local cheeses and wines. The town also hosts a celebrated truffle festival, drawing food lovers from across the region. For a taste of history, the Ducal Palace in Urbino, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is just over half an hour away. If you’re after sun and sea, the beaches of Fano and the Adriatic coast can be reached within an hour. All of this makes Villa Alta Valle a well-placed base for cultural and culinary exploration.
