Villa Raffa

Beautiful villa with swimming pool and spa in Le Marche

Villa Raffa is a beautiful holiday villa with swimming pool and a spa in Le Marche. The villa is a couple of minutes outside of Montecarotto, a town in the region of Ancona. In addition to an outside pool, there is a spa available for use by guests. The spa has a gigantic bathtub, a shower nook, a couple of lounge chairs, a vast selection of lotions/scents/salts, and a remote control that has the power to completely change the mood of the spa room with a click of a button.

In short Villa Raffa is an old farmhouse in Le Marche countryside converted into a cozy house and filled with love. It is at the end of a long dirt path, so there is absolutely no buzz of traffic or lights from towns for miles. Just you and the stars and complete silence in the middle of the night. Inside, the attention to detail and choice of decoration is exquisite; everything from the teaspoons to the bedding has been picked with care and matches a rustic, warm feeling. If you ever had a dream of staying in an authentic, intimate Italian house, this is the perfect candidate.

There is one honeymoon suite, which comes with a fireplace and a kitchen (complete with basics, all kitchen appliances, and a fridge/freezer). There is also a ‘common room’, which has hundreds of books, boards games, CD’s, marmalades, and teas for your enjoyment. Outside is a BBQ space, ping pong tables, swings, a basketball hoop, and other seasonal treasures.
