Casa Ginestra is located in the heart of the golden triangle roughly 45 minutes from the Adriatic beaches and 30 minutes from hikes and swims in mountain lakes.  In winter, skiing and snowboarding at Bolognola and Sarnano are less than 1 hour away.  

This part of Le Marche is rightly famous for being a charming and tranquil haven in which to relax and re-charge the batteries.  But the area is also well known for having a vibrant and very friendly local community that offers visitors a wide range of things to see and do.  So, if you'd like to balance your R&R with some memorable local experiences, we recommend you contact Pauline at Inside Rural Italy to see what's happening - and what could be arranged - during your time here.

Pauline - an Australian local resident who speaks fluent Italian - has wide local knowledge complemented by a broad range of contacts in the community.  She specialises in arranging personalised activities that reflect visitors' interests, tastes and preferences.  For example:

• Truffle hunting in the woods - lectures about truffles by the president of the local Truffle Association - truffle cuisine demonstrations.
• Marchigiani cooking - traditional dishes - such as hand-made pasta - demonstrated by a local contadini's wife.
• Celebration dinners.
• Guided tours of local museums and churches (including the magnificent Crivelli paintings in Monte San Martino).
• Guided walks in the mountains.
• Shopping 'outlet' tours ( Le Marche is famous for it's high quality hand-made shoes).
• Visits to local vineyards.
