About this property
Podere Luce is a country villa set in the rolling hills of Le Marche, offering a charming blend of traditional architecture and thoughtful modern comforts. With exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors, antique furnishings, and soft earthy tones throughout, the interiors reflect rustic elegance while remaining welcoming and relaxed. The property is divided into two independent units, ideal for multi-generational families or two families travelling together.
The ground floor unit features a cosy living room, a small kitchen, and three double bedrooms, two with ensuite showers and one served by a separate bathroom with a bathtub. A mini gym with its own entrance is also located on this level. Upstairs, the main unit includes a spacious entrance hall, a guest WC, a well-equipped kitchen, and a large open plan living and dining room with direct access to a panoramic terrace. Also on this floor is a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, plus a laundry room.
A staircase leads to the top floor with three additional bedrooms (two with French beds and one double), another bathroom with a tub, and a second with a shower. Outdoors, guests enjoy a private swimming pool with Roman steps, a Mediterranean garden, orchard, and a stunning alfresco kitchen with an Argentine barbecue.
Podere Luce is located near Belmonte Piceno, a historic hilltop village in the province of Fermo. The location is ideal for those wanting to explore both coast and countryside, with the beaches of Porto San Giorgio and Pedaso a short drive away, and the Sibillini Mountains offering hiking, cycling, and dramatic views just inland.
Belmonte Piceno itself is a hidden gem, hosting the Santa Croce Festival in May, known for its famous Nutella Day and open-air concerts. Nearby Grottazzolina holds summer events including Le Marche’s only Irish Festival and a medieval fair with costumed jousting. For a taste of lively coastal life, the beach towns of San Benedetto del Tronto and Porto San Giorgio boast bustling night scenes and seafood-filled evenings. From historical villages to nature reserves and lively festas, this area offers a true slice of Italian culture with an unhurried, friendly pace of life.
