Communal Facilities
There is an indoor courtyard garden or cortile, with views of the
mountains and the medieval town. Also a pizza oven and a loggia
providing shade from the heat of the day.

The gardens were extended to include a vineyard and
vegetable garden that will be available to guests for picking their
own produce.

Pool
The pool is 14m long and a constant 1.40m deep. The views are
breathtaking.

Lavanderia/ Washing Room
At the back of the house, beyond the loggia, towards the car park is
the lavanderia. There is a washing machine and a couple of drying
racks, a washing line is also located just below the pool.
Dishwashers/Ovens

Environmental concerns
Rubbish is recycled locally, all rain water is fed back onto the land,
The rebuild included earthquake proofing and considerable insulation
and the villa's central heating is provided by a woodburner attached
to the radiators.

There are re-cycling bins located in the large car park where the
Sarnano market is held and on the main road into Sarnano on the left
just as the shops start.

For vegetable peelings there is a composting area at the front of the
house beyond the big walnut tree.

SKY/DVD/CD

The DVD player plays both DVDs and CDs. We have placed a good
selection of each of these in the apartments for your use. If you have
worked your way through all the DVDs let us know and we can top you
up. Sky TV is also provided.

Water
The water from the tap is fine for drinking; it comes down from the
mountain and is the same source as the mineral water being bottled in
Sarnano for Ristorante and Bars.

Lights
In the apartments most rooms have an orange light switch that is
visible in the dark. This turns on the main light in the room/
corridor next to the one you are in. Light switches with symbols are
in Apartment Damiano (lounge) and Apartment Elisa (bottom of stairs),
these turn on/off the external lights at the front and pool side of
the barn.


The environment
During the reconstruction of the house, we have endeavoured to recycle
old materials, to insulate the villa from the elements , have
separated water run-off from sewage and in an effort to reduce our
carbon footprint, we have endeavoured to use energy efficient light
bulbs wherever possible.


Central Heating
All apartments have wood burners and we hope that your stay is warm
enough to avoid using the central heating.

On our web site you will find out more about the villa and the amazing
array of sights and activities on offer to visitors to Sarnano and Le
Marche. The varied landscape is a paradise for walkers and cyclists,
painters and photographers, and skiers and boarders during the winter.
There's an amazing linked infrastructure of walks in the sibillini
mountains which are only 10 minutes away. If you are a food and wine
lover, you will appreciate the fayre and the many and varied
restaurants on offer within 5 minutes of the villa (over 30 at the
last count).Alternatively, for sightseers there is history, art and
culture in abundance, places of pilgrimage, great beaches, or,
shopping and the many outlet shops offering discount prices.
