Great stay!
We arrives three teenagers, one 10 yo and one 12 yo, plus three adults. The house was SO great, the surroundings magical. Cleaning was perfect and we didn't need anything! Previous guests were very nice to leave things like pasta, oil, icecream, sunblock and so on - we did the same. Everybody had an amazing time, the rooms were very nice in regards to tempreature. We read all instructions thoroughly, and had no problems with either electricity or water or anything. Loved every moment of our stay, we can really recommend going here! Thanks for letting us stay here!

Very relaxing holiday in an ideal location
What a lovely house. The outdoor eating area is perfect for a large group, especially because it stays in the shade all day long. The bedrooms are comfortable (fans were v useful in the heat!) and the bathrooms are lovely. We really enjoyed cooking in the well-appointed kitchen and using the delicious herbs growing in the garden. The ice machine was a godsend! I baked bread in the mornings, ate and swam all day and slept like a log. We experienced fireflies, the cat, golden orioles and wild boar! Thanks so much.

Nice stay in a beatiful house in a quiet area
We stayed at "Casa Wales" for 4 nights with friends, and found the house in perfect condition - both clean and welcoming. Easy check in thanks to the detailed instructions we got from the host Iain. Overall, the house was very well equipped and stylishly decorated, everything worked and the outside dining area was lovely to enjoy for lunches, dinner and drinks. Also, the pool was very nice, and fairly clean (a bit of leaves and stuff but we cleaned that out with the equipment available). If there was anything we missed, it would have been nice to have window screens for mosquitos in all windows in the bedrooms. The surroundings were beautiful, however the closest village (Gualdo) did not impress in terms of services – the description says/said there would be more than one café, and two supermarkets, but we only found one of each, the supermarket with a slightly poor choice of products. We went to Sarnano (only 18 mins away w car) and there we found plenty of stores and cafés so no real damage done! All in all, we were happy with the stay and can really recommend the house, particularly if you are interested in findin a calm refuge in the countryside.

Great house with stunning views
No hesitation whatsoever to give this house a 5* review. We’re just back from a two week stay with various family (adult and late teen) and the house was pretty much perfect. All 5 bedrooms were en-suite and great, the kitchen and the house in general were well provisioned and comfortable but the main selling point is the outside area- the big table is completely shaded all day but there are plenty of other seating areas in the sun if you prefer, the views are insanely lovely, the pool is a really decent size (big enough for all of us to play volley ball) with enough loungers for everyone. Pictures don’t do it justice, it’s a really lovely private spot, with plenty of gorgeous hilltop towns nearby.

Verblijf casa Wales
Casa Wales ligt prachtig, omgeven door natuur met prachtige vergezichten. Het is er heel rustig. Het huis is heel ruim en goed uitgerust. We hadden er een heel aangenaam verblijf. Klein minpuntje was de hitte binnen, ook snachts. Airco zou een goede investering zijn.

Fantastic house in beautiful location
We were 2 families (4 children and 4 adults) from Sweden living in this great house on the Italian countryside for a week. The space, the pool and the location was excellent. We went to see the waterfalls in Sarnano and swam in Lago de Fiastra high in the mountains, and even got invited to a night at the nearby dutch camping site for drinks and karaoke. The only problem we had was that the master bedroom on the top floor was very hot but that was a small problem as there were many bedrooms to choose from. We would all love to return here.

Erholsame Tage in den Hügeln der Marken
Das Haus ist sehr geräumig über 3 Etagen. Im Dachgeschoss muss man aber bisweilen wegen der Dachschräge den Kopf etwas einziehen. Die Ausstattung aller Schlafzimmer mit Waschbecken, WC, Dusche/Badewanne ist sehr praktisch. An heißen Tagen bzw. in den Nächten sind die Ventilatoren in den Schlafräumen sehr wichtig. Der Pool mit Außendusche ist unglaublich angenehm, es gibt genug Liegen rund herum - und 2 große Sonnenschirme spenden ausreichend Schatten. Super ist auch der große Platz mit Esstisch und Stühlen schattig unter dem Vordach. Dort ist es angenehm zu essen - und man sitzt dort fein bis in die späten Abendstunden. Der Blick über die waldigen Hügel der Marken ist einzigartig. Die nächsten Häuser sind weit genug entfernt, so dass man seine Ruhe haben kann. In Gualdo (ca. 10 Minuten mit dem Auto) gibt es einen kleinen Lebensmittel-Laden, einen Bäcker, Metzger, ein Gemüse/Obst-Geschäft. Eine sehr gute Pizzeria ist ebenso dort in der Nähe des Ortes.

Perfekt til familieferie i stille område
Vi var en familie på 3 generationer 2-61 år, der har nydt 14 dage i et dejligt hus og skønt Ude område med pool, rigt på dyreliv, skøn udsigt og masser af plads. Værtspar et har været super hjælpsomme under optakten til vores ferie. Området har ikke de store kulturelle oplevelser, men vi kørte til et par vandfald og bedende, en sø og bade, sommerfuglepark, drypstenshuler, de "døde" byer der var efterladt efter jordskælvene i 2017-2018, besøgte de mindre byer og nød de dejlige råvarer fra området (samt urterne fra haven😉)

Domizil für Ruhe suchende Urlauber
Das Haus hält, was es verspricht. Es bietet angenehmen Aufenthalt für kleine Gruppen bis zehn Personen. Jeder findet in Haus und Garten ein Plätzchen, um auch mal für sich zu sein. Die Küche ist so ausgestattet, dass das Kochen Spaß macht. Die Betten haben gute Matratzen und man erwacht entspannt. Dazu trägt auch die meist stille Umgebung bei. In Gualdo gibt es verschiedene Läden in denen man einkaufen kann. Der örtliche Supermarkt bietet eine gute Auswahl. Die Leute, mit denen wir es zu tun haben, wirken gelassen, zugewandt und freundlich. Vom regelmäßig gesäuberten Pool lässt man sich gerne zum Bade laden. Bei der großen Hitze während unseres Aufenthalts sind die Windmaschinen in den Zimmern ebenso hilfreich wie der Eisschrank, der stets Eis vorrätig hat für kühle Getränke. Tip: Wer gerne bei offenem Fenster schläft, sollte ein Moskitonetz mitbringen, denn abends fliegen nicht nur die Glühwürmchen. Fazit: Für uns war die Casa Wales ein guter Stützpunkt, um die Schönheiten der Marken zu entdecken. Wir können das Haus empfehlen. Allerdings dürfte für Familien mit kleinen Kindern die Zugänglichkeit des Pools ein Thema sein.
