Villa Dolcezza

The villa

Perched on a gentle rise among the rolling hills of Le Marche, Villa Dolcezza feels like a warm embrace of Italian country life. From the moment you enter, the soft earthy tones and rustic beams hint at tradition, while vibrant textiles and contemporary comforts offer a touch of playfulness. The interiors are open and welcoming, with a well - equipped kitchen at the heart, where handmade pasta rests on floured boards and breakfast is enjoyed with the garden in view.

Spread across two levels, the villa features five bedrooms, including a light - filled twin and a lower - floor suite that opens onto the landscape. The layout is effortlessly family - friendly, with plenty of space to gather or retreat. Step outside and you’ll find a shaded portico for long, lazy meals and a summer kitchen with a barbecue made for evenings spent beneath the stars.

The pool looks out across the countryside, framed by fruit trees, flowering shrubs and sweeping views that stretch toward the distant hills. A stay here moves to a slower rhythm, just a short drive from the historic streets of Urbino and the stone bridges and waterfalls of Fermignano. It’s a place to reconnect, replenish, and relish the simple pleasures of Italy.

Villa Dolcezza sits in the peaceful countryside near Fermignano, a characterful town in Le Marche. Just a short drive from the UNESCO World Heritage site of Urbino, this region is steeped in history and natural beauty. Fermignano itself boasts a charming historic centre along the Metauro River, with medieval landmarks like the striking Militia Tower and a stone bridge spanning a cascading waterfall. It’s also the birthplace of the famed architect Donato Bramante. Locals celebrate the town’s past with events such as the Frog Palio and the 19th - century Penny - Farthing Grand Prix, adding flair and community spirit to the calendar. Surrounding the town are protected nature reserves like the Furlo Gorge, perfect for hikes and wildlife spotting. You’ll find local shops, cafés and restaurants nearby, making it easy to stock up on regional produce or dine out with ease.
