Casa Rocca
Casa Rocca is a fabulous property that has been carefully designed and decorated, letting the architecture and setting speak for themselves
Casa Rocca is the sort of house that inspires films and novels thanks to its magnificent hillside setting, handsome architecture and incredible views of the Sibillini mountains.
The property is made up of two honey-stoned buildings with two bedrooms each: the main house sits in front and has most of the living space, with a guest house behind.
In both, the beautifully proportioned rooms are filled with light and traditional features, balanced with carefully chosen furniture, lighting and artwork that is a clever mix of new and old. Bedrooms are spacious: the principal one is double height with a dressing room and a bath and double walk-in shower ensuite.
In the main house, the well-equipped kitchen with its round marble breakfast table leads to an open-plan dining and sitting room with a stone fireplace. There’s a separate study and TV room, too. There’s also a little kitchen in the guest house that is painted a jolly yellow.
Step outside and the garden is equally delightful. A cotto dining terrace offers magnificent views by day and starlit skies by night. And then there is the pool which is jelly-bean shaped, hugging the curve of the hillside. Every tiny detail has been thought of and every natural asset magnified by careful design.
It would be easy to relax into the ease of Casa Rocca and never leave the gates. But that would be to miss out on exploring Le Marche’s gloriously uncrowded countryside and coastline.
