Three generations of the family had a superb break - perfect for us all, it's been heavenly - thank you.

We love Casa Lola so much that we keep coming back every year. The house is charming and has bags of character but entirely practical and fully equipped, whether for grown-ups, tiddlers or even those somewhere in between. It's roomy and welcoming, stylish but not at all prissy. The pool is glorious and the views - especially of the mountains in the early mornings - utterly beguiling. You will need a car to get around but the location is rural and quiet rather than remote. The Local towns - Amandola and Sarnarno - are both within 20min drive. Amandola in particular is a lovely little town with a beautiful square and wonderful food shopping. The people are very friendly and proud of their town, and if you make the effort to speak even a litttle Italian you will usually be rewarded with a smile. There's even a supermarket at the bottom of the hill there which is open on Sunday - handy for when you arrive and all the other shops are shut. The fascinating social spectacle that is the Italian seaside is about an hour away by car, complete with palm-fringed boulevards and spotless beaches dotted with umbrellas and sun loungers provided by the hotel and bars that line the fronts of most Adriatic resort towns. Anyone who enjoys being in, on, or up mountains is unlikely to get as far as the seaside though. Walking in the Sybillines is truly stunning and not to be missed. Plenty of maps and guidebooks provided.
If you're looking for a truly relaxing, delightfuland practical family holiday, in a part of Italy which is much less touristy that Tuscany but runs it a close second for natural beauty, you won't find better.

If the pictures of Casa Lola are at all misleading, it is only because they do not do full justice to this fine old farmhouse and its panoramic views of the Sibillini mountains. During our two-week stay the weather was glorious - even the thunderstorms we watched on two occasions brewing up over the mountains from the terrace were spectacular. The house itself is well-equipped, comfortable and spacious - more than enough room for the six of us to 'do our own thing' when we wanted to and get together when we were more inclined to be sociable. Everything the owners say about the property and facilities is spot on. The pool proved very popular even with those of us who are not normally enthusiastic swimmers. The surrounding area is relatively unspoilt and the locals particularly welcoming. And although there are only a few restaurants near by they all had their own particular charm. Casa Lola is an ideal holiday home for people who enjoy the country rather than the bright lights. We were delighted to be in the region before hordes of tourists discover it, as they surely must.

I nearly wept when I saw the view, I love this house, we are already planning next year's trip.

A week is not enough, need at least two. You have made a wonderful home from home in a special place.
