As long time and long term travelers in Italy, this represented the perfect location and house for my wife and me to have one of our sons and his family join us. We were, thus, six adults with plenty of room and places to sit and enjoy each other's company. Every floor has at least one outdoor patio. The master suite has ventilation from three sides, allowing easy ways to adjust air flow to maximize interior comfort. Our co-host Adela was clearly very proud of Le Marche and went well beyond simple "availability" to answer questions but was proactive in suggesting places to go and restaurants to enjoy. After many rentals in multiple coutries, we think she is a rare treasure and hopefully will remain a friend long after our time in Santa Vittoria. There are only a couple of cautions I would be sure potential renters are aware of. The streets of the village are "mirror scraper" narrow even for some of the smaller rental cars typical in Italy. While I have many miles of driving in these situations it might not be comfortable for everyone. The second caution is that the very wonderful patios and ventilation also mean the house is on four total levels from the kitchen and laundry at the bottom to the master suite on the top floor with that great three way ventilation. Though there are places to have a meal on the lowest level the main dining area is one floor up from the kitchen, and that lowest level does not get a lot of natural light. And, speaking of light, the unique dual living rooms also get little natural outside light. However, the only one of these items which might be significant is the stairs, relative to the age of potential renters. All in all this was a near perfect place for us and after several weeks of travel all of the family enjoyed the relaxing time in the small village and the rest of Le Marche...truly "Tuscan-like beautiful country without the crowds."
