B&B Vento di Rose

The very old, but completely renovated and restored house with its thick walls and the very beautiful garden is in the middle of the landscape of the Marche with wonderful views to each direction because its on a hill, 12 km from the sea. So it is cool and the owners Emmanuela and Emidio were phantastic hosts. It is very very quiet there and a good atmosphere. The breakfast is marvellous with a very great range of food (only the bread wasn’t to our taste) . You can take as much as you like with you , in the fridge in the kitchen for the evening or for the daily tours in Tupperware boxes, which Emmanuela makes available for you. A little problem are the mosquitos. So take a electric Mosquito repel with you for the room. But they are not a great problem, only if you forget to close the door of your room, like I did it once. Outside there are none. For us it was the best place for our needs: a perfect place to rest, a perfect place as a start-up for trips to the places like Ascoli Piceno, to the Piano Grande (Plateau) in the Sybillinic mountains, to the sea and to many other wonderful places near there. We stayed there for 10 days and the price/performance relation was very good.

Vento di Rose is truly a place of paradise, not only because of its spectacular location, natural beauty of the land and surroundings, the breakfasts to beat any breakfast you've ever had, but because of its hosts, Emanuela and Emidio. Vento di Rose is a rare treasure. It is situated in Le Marche, a beautiful province not as traveled by tourists. The B&B is located surrounded by rolling hills of farmland, 15 minutes to local free beaches on the Adriatic Sea. It is between 5-40 minutes to small hilltop medieval villages, where you can roam endlessly through stone arches, winding paths, ancient dwellings, and eat local food. You can also visit the Sibillini Mountains or the city of Ascoli Piceno, with its elegant piazza, ancient buildings, spectacular cathedral, charming streets and shops. Or you can just relax in the peaceful atmosphere at Vento di rose with incredible views on all sides, comfortable chairs and tables, a delightful shaded terrace, hammocks, and a glass of wine from a local organic vineyard (left as a gift in your room when you arrive, along with biscotti and fresh fruit). Depending on the time of year, roses abound along with other flowers, olive and fruit trees, and a small ancient tower covered in vines. And the breakfasts!!! Local meats, cheeses, and fruit, fresh bread, homemade jams, honey and butter, frittatas, cakes and cookies, savory pastries (fresh artichoke tart, anyone?!) all made by Emanuela. Nothing is pre-packaged; all is organic. It is served to your table in large quantities and on the side you will find reusable containers and bag to pack a lunch of your leftovers. Emanuela and Emidio are the kindest, most sympatico, and accommodating hosts you will ever meet. They will. bring you out a cup of tea as you sit reading outside. They will direct you to local restaurants and businesses such as a ceramic studio started hundred of years ago still run by the family or the local winery where you can do tastings with food while sitting amongst the vines. I highly recommend you vist Vento di Rose, whether you are planning to be in Le Marche or dedicate a week or more of your travels specifically to this magical place. With only two rooms on different sides of the building, the privacy is welcome as a respite. Both rooms are comfortable and unique, decorated with attention to detail- fine cotton linens dried in the sun, handmade bathroom soaps, antique lace wedding crowns and baby bonnets- one room soothing shades of blue, the other the colors of the sun. This was our fifth visit- we have returned with friends and sent family- everyone feels the magic. Don't miss this hidden gem!
