Country House Valdarecchia (Apecchio)

Description Valdarecchia

This pleasant casale, set in the countryside of green hills and mountains, is open all year round. Visitors can enjoy walking, mountain-biking and horse-riding along old footpaths in the woods and pine forests that surround the house.

There 's also an archery range, and for the warmer months, an outdoor swimming-pool. In season, guests can take trips to gather mushrooms and go hunting for the prized truffles of the area.

Valdarecchia has panoramic views over Apecchio, the nearest village, which is noted for its fossil museum, its medieval center, with the ducal palace of Ubaldini, and its famous donkey-back bridge.

Apecchio has all the usual services and facilities: shops, supermarket, bank, post office, bars, pizzerias, restaurants, tennis courts, football pitch, and children 's playground.

Apecchio 's wonderful White Truffle Fair, which takes place every year at the beginning of October, should not be missed.

During the winter, when the snow covers this part of the Apennines, visitors can go skiing on the surrounding land and on the nearby pistes of Monte Nerone. True skiers can also enjoy the extensive downhill slopes. Many interesting historic and cultural centres like the towns of Urbino, Gubbio, Assisi, Perugia and Arezzo, are within easy reach.

The restored farmhouse comprises a large entrance hall with wood-burning oven, spacious kitchen, dining-room, living-room with fireplace, and seven double bedrooms each with bathroom. It is ideal for large families or groups, up to 20 people. Valdarecchia is truly a wonderful place for a holiday in the countryside - it will help you enjoy once again those simple pleasures of country life.
