Casale Volpe - Bed & Breakfast in Marche
Contrada Moelano 12, 62020 Sant’Angelo in Pontano, Macerata
Marche,
Italia
Start the day with breakfast as late as you like (within reason): eggs from the hens, tomatoes from the garden, and homemade breads and jams. End the day in a deckchair listening to the birds, with a crisp glass of local wine.
This attractive eco re-build is shared with your hosts and two handsome moggies. Mike is mad about cycling, Kelda adores cooking, and they are as self-sustainable as can be. There’s a big friendly table for seasonal dinners, an outdoor oven for homemade pizzas, and bedrooms with rolling Marche views. Visit the evening flea market in Fermo. Hike and bike in the sublime Sibillini park; Mike will happily guide you.
Wherever you are, there’ll be a food ‘sagra’ nearby - perhaps in Sant'Angelo in Pontano. This small historic town, five minutes up the hill, has a good little restaurant with an amazing view. Head for the terrace of Diulia.

Local points of interest from Mike Curtis & Kelda Wallis:
Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Mike Curtis & Kelda Wallis:
- We are a 40 minute drive from the mountains and a 45 minute drive from the coast, which means two holidays for the price of one. Swim in the Adriatic and eat seafood on the beach, then swim in a lake in the mountains and eat local cheese and prosciutto.
- You're a stunning 40 minute drive to Lago Fiastra, with its acqua blue fresh water, perfect for swimming, renting a canoe or pedalo. Cool off in the clear mountain water before heading to the pizzeria for lunch, just a few short steps away.
- Spend a day wine tasting in some of the local, family-run vineyards, all within a short 30 minute drive. At a fraction of the price of some of the better known wine regions, you're likely to discover your new favourite tipple.
- In the surrounding villages, there are literally hundreds of food festivals, or sagre throughout summer and autumn. It's the perfect opportunity to get a sense of village life here, whilst dancing with the locals and celebrating some of their best dishes.
- Spend a few days walking or hiking in the fabulous Sibillini National Park. Lago di Pilato, Foce di Montemonaco, Gola dell'Infernaccio and Lame Rosse are walks that all start around a 30-60 minutes' drive away. We can even pack you off with a picnic.
- The Sferisterio in Macerata, a medieval hilltop town 35 minutes' drive away is a wonderful neoclassical open-air opera house and home of the Macerata Opera Festival, which takes place throughout July and August.
