Casa Toto - Self-catering house in Marche
Contrada Santa Lucia, 42, 63839 Servigliano, Fermo
Marche,
Italia
Once a simple, sturdy farm - animals at ground level, humans above - now beautifully transformed by London-based designers Fran and Paul. They’ve restored the wide external stone stair, the ancient beams and exposed brickwork, and kept a pillar smoothed by generations of passing beasts. Their understated styling with calm colour schemes and pared-back furnishing, sits easily with the old bones of the building. Add plenty of good books and art, modern lighting, deeply comfortable bedrooms with gentle country views, a well-equipped kitchen with cement worktops, smart bathrooms and a big sofa by the upstairs wood-burning stove and you’ve surely all you need indoors. And it’s lovely outdoors too: a long wooden pergola laden with wisteria shades the sunny side of the house; you eat at wrought iron tables on pale flagstones and have acres of mature olive and fruit trees to roam. Having created this relaxing home, the owners are keen to share it with like-minded folk who’ll love walking in the Sibillini national park, visiting local castles and markets (like Fermo’s summer brocante market), and the Adriatic coast.

Local points of interest from Francesca Graham:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Francesca Graham:
- Casa Toto is not a 'made for rental' property, it is our home, a place full of our lives, objects, art and memories,but you can now rent it through Alastair Sawday’s Special Places to Stay...
- The house is beautifully designed for the simple pleasures of relaxing, reading, cooking and sharing slow food and wine. Casa Toto is not suitable for young children.
- It is available between April and October, please send us an email with your holiday plans and to confirm availability.
- Spend a day in the warm waters of the Adriatic Sea and sandy beach at Porto San Giorgio. Enjoy a delicious freshly caught fish lunch in one of the many beachside restaurants.
- Spend a day in Loreto, the Basilica there houses the Virgin Mary’s private personal Chapel that was brought back by the Crusaders. It was later surrounded with marble and later still, a centre of pilgrimage built around it. The history is tangible.
- Spend a day in Urbisaglia with its colossal medieval fort and well preserved Roman Amphitheatre. Or a day in the beautiful Sibillini Mountains and Piano-Grande, a place of tranquillity, wild flowers, take a picnic or enjoy the famous lentils and truffles.
