Some Reviews:


"WOW - this place is heaven and the hosts are one of the best parts, but the place is amazing too.

Matelica is that - it's pretty central to the cute little city, you can walk to lots of restaurants, although our hosts made a ton of amazing suggestions, we could have stayed so much longer. The highlight was the country restaurant Pappafo. Not to be missed - amazing location and views in the country and a real kitchen, great menu and very reasonable prices.

The house itself is better than the pictures, it's hard to show the layout but it felt so good, like a real home. Parking right out front, very secure gate and locks. The downstairs kitchen has everything you need and they are very generous and attentive to welcoming you and having everything ready. Nice dining room table and tv / couch in the kitchen.

Up a floor is that beautiful room with the piano and larger couch. There's a huge balcony and another place to eat outside too. So much space. The bathrooms are the best. The whole place is well appointed and very thought out. We enjoyed the master with ensuite bathroom, and the kids liked having their own bathroom and kid friendly tub. Second bedroom had another huge bed and lots of closet space like the other. A third bedroom was so ready for another child, if you have a baby, it has everything you need, toys, diaper changing table, even kid books on the bottom shelf and a swing on the patio.

The a/c worked really well, which I so appreciate traveling in the summer. If you are lucky enough to stay here, book more time than you think. There's so much to do. 

OK, I think homeaway should write a feature on this property. They have a binder to welcome you with lots of tips, extra things you might need, fresh flowers and fruit, every detail was just lovely. The LOFT - we love the loft! Thank you Deborah and Roberto! It was a pleasure to be in your home."


"Italy's best kept secret ... We were looking for a special place in Italy where we could indulge our senses and enjoy some luxury that was affordable. We found it in this stunning loft property in Matelica The property was in pristine 5 star condition, with the latest designed bathrooms, soft cotton sheets, a knockout huge Italian kitchen, huge TV plasma and there was even a beautiful piano! We split our time between the incredible restaurants in the area and cooking local Italian produce in the amazing kitchen where we would enjoy long indulgent dinners.
