"What a find - my mission was to find a venue for my husbands 40th birthday celebration.

A get together for close mates and our children of ranging ages.

We had a real mixture to keep happy and we succeeded in finding a balance at Sei camimni.

With welcoming accommadation offering a range of bedrooms and sleeping arrangments it suited our needs perfectly - waking up to the bird song and fresh mountain air - purely a bonus!

We stayed in late June 07 and had glorious weather, though chilly in the evenings it didn't put off our love for al fresco dinning underneath a sea of stars and watching the fireflies dancing about.

But we always had the option to cuddle up around the log stove inside to play cards.

The houses are roomy, with two kitchens that ment we could easliy coordinate large suppers or just do as we pleased when we needed.

With plenty of space in the grounds to either slope off and read in private or to play team games.
The pool is fabulous and the views are just breath taking and with no near neighbours we could party til the early ours, and we did!

The food, as with all Italy is fantastic - we went to Le Querche near Monte where they offer fantastic grills and pizza. Its a family friendly place with table football and tv - incredible value and all the kids loved it.

For a real treat though 'Il Tiglio' is a must!
Its up in the mountains past the turn off to the wonderful 'Gola Infernaccio' in a little village called 'Isola san Biagio'
They do the most wonderful dinners with about 8 courses - all small and beautifully presented. Complete theate and great fun, wonderful wine list - very reasonable. (Probabaly not best for children as a meal takes a long time)

We all shared many delightful moments and have left with fond memories.

The only moans and grumbles I heard where the morning of our departure. . . need I say more! "

 

 

"My partner and I have stayed at Casa Piccola in October for the last two years and on each occassion it was blissful.

The property is always clean and very homely. The facilities are excellent and the amenities are very well maintained.

The local town of Sarnarno is charming and a wee home from home with plenty of shops to stock up on fresh Italian food and the splendid wine.

If you just want a week away from it all where the two of you can laze about in the warm Autumn sun, read books, chat, drink wine and relax in front of a roaring log fire of an evening, then this is the place for you. And as you sleepily open the shutters each morning you will see stretched out before you as if painted by some ludicrously over romantic, over dramatic big bloused artist a sublime view of rolling hills, mountain ranges, hilltop villages and a sky the shade of blue only Italians know how to create. It gets you every time.

Go anytime, but we went off season - it is highly recommended. You will be delighted, rested and rebooking it."

 

"10 of us (5 adults and 5 children under 10) stayed in Casa Grande in September - the weather was still gorgeous but not too hot for our toddlers.

The house is in a stunning location with great views and was ideal for us - blissful seclusion and so much space.

The older kids loved having their own sitting room on the top floor and we didnt have to hear their DVDs! The table footy and ping pong were well used once we had succeeded in dragging them out of the pool.

Lots to see and do in the area, some great, cheap, very child friendly restaurants. My older son said after a few days 'this place is heaven for kids' - he loved the local food and having so much space to charge around.

I can recommend flying to Pescara rather than Ancona - flights are usually cheaper."

 

"Had a short break in the Casa Grande last springtime.

We had all the grounds to ourselves as the other property was not occupied - such a sense of space!
Loads to see and do in the area and everywhere felt very tourist free. Le marche is a wonderful part of Italy to visit.

'Had a brilliant time - you have created a wonderful escape at Sei Camini and we all felt very relaxed whilst there and feel we've had a really good break inc les enfants"
