About this villa rental
A fully renovated 19th-century farmhouse. Located in Montefiore dell’Aso, a medieval village just 10 minutes from the sea and 40 minutes from the Mountain Community and the main tourist centers. Casa del Gelso is located very close to the town and other homes, yet it is completely independent and situated in a quiet area, far from noise and traffic. As a result, it offers undeniable advantages, such as proximity to both local amenities (supermarkets, pharmacies, bars, etc.) as well as to country trails for long mountain bike rides, making a car absolutely unnecessary. You can use the car only to go to the beach (a 10-minute drive). The house is surrounded by greenery and tranquility, in a splendid panoramic location with breathtaking views of the entire valley and the sea. At a single glance, you can admire the Sibillini Mountains, the Gran Sasso Massif, and the blue sea. Ideal for relaxing walks, hikes, and runs in the open air. Just a few minutes from the nearest golf course.
Montefiore dell’Aso
A typical medieval-style village in the Marche hinterland, the historic center of Montefiore is well-preserved today: significant sections of the city walls remain, complete with gates and six towers dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. A visit offers tourists pleasant views and valuable insights into the town’s historical and artistic past. From the Belvedere De Carolis, a picturesque panoramic terrace, you pass through the Aspromonte Gate to enter the historic center and reach the heart of the town, dominated by the Collegiate Church of Santa Lucia. Continuing our stroll through the town center, a stop at the San Francesco Museum Complex
is a must. The new museum itinerary winds through the convent’s rooms, housing the Carlo Crivelli Hall, the Giancarlo Basili Scenographic Documentation Center, the Adolfo de Carolis Museum, the Museum of Rural Life, and the Domenico Cantatore Collection. The museum complex also hosts associations and other cultural activities, such as the town choir in the hall called “La Musica a Montefiore dell’Aso,” the school of painting and engraving in the “Laboratory of Arts and Crafts,” and artistic crafts in the “Bottega delle Arti.” The “Premio Pino Mori” Contemporary Art Collection is also housed in several rooms within the museum complex. It features all the first-place winners of the painting competition launched in 1995 and dedicated to the artist born in Campofilone in 1920 and who died in Montegiorgio in 1994. Finally, worth mentioning is the Church of San Filippo Neri, located just outside the town center: built on the site of a small church from 1573 known as Santa Maria del Monte, it was renovated at the end of the 17th century by the Congregation of the Filippini, who dedicated it to their founder. Once the historical and artistic tour is complete, we invite visitors to head to the lush and well-equipped G. De Vecchis Park, where they can enjoy a relaxing break surrounded by greenery while breathing in the pure, fresh air of our hills.

We had a great time on Casa del Gelso together with 12 friends from our study in Maastricht, Holland.
Everything was arranged perfectly: the beautiful location, the friendly people in the village of Montefiore, the property itself, the cleaning, the food/drinks. All in all we had a perfect holiday and we would like to recommend Casa del Gelso to everyone!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa del Gelso. It was a perfect family retreat for both our Italian and English families to meet and take advantage of the serenity and beautiful surroundings. We were able to accommodate everyone comfortably from small children to grandparents. There was plenty to do just at the house, between walking, hiking, cooking, and just relaxing. We loved that it was so quiet you could just listen to the breeze and birds singing. We were surrounded by blooming flowers, trees and the literally every view was breath-taking. We would drive the short distance to city center for shopping and restaurants and took advantage of the local flavors and ingredients to make some amazing meals at the house. We would highly recommend staying at this Villa if you are looking for a clean, spacious stone farmhouse to accommodate multiple families, have a large kitchen and and outdoor eating area too, want to take advantage of the fresh air and enjoy outdoor activities, and most of all tranquility

We were a large family with two young children staying at this villa this Summer. A very tastefully decorated villa with great facilities and very helpful owners. We were given plenty of information about the surrounding area which is awash with plenty to see and do. Fabulous walks and delicious local fare. A real gem of a place in a simply stunning area.

Very comfortable stay. Property clean/well maintained. Spacious and on the whole well furnished and well equipped. Definitely need a car but as we had one this was not a problem. Yes, would recommend this property and would use it again if in the area. We took my elderly parents who also loved it and managed fine
