This is our second stay with Lona & Gavin, we've now stayed in both Ciliegia and Cappalla and can honestly say that we're still blown away by our holidays and how wonderful the homes are in design and delivery; you get a real feeling of luxury & care (fab layout, facilities & decor).
The terrace (truly lovely spot to eat breakfast & dinner or just to sit, sip a glass of local wine & enjoy the views), the pool (azure, refreshing & inviting) and planting (lush, fragrant & abundant) all add to the beautiful atmosphere of the place and as for the location and views...well they are completely fantastic!
We loved calling Capella our home for the week, it was a wonderful base to explore idyllic hilltop towns (a1 pizza & gellato in Montottone, local and authentic food festivals/sagre, traditional market in Servigliano etc.), take in breathtaking mountain views on the drive to Lake Fiastra and to enjoy fab food & history in Fermo & Ascoli Piceno! There is so much to do...or you can just stay in enjoy a lazy lunch, dip in the pool, a drink or two and lounge in the sun...heavenly!
Lona & Gavin are wonderful hosts; warm, generous and wanting to ensure you have the best stay possible. We were treated to freshly baked limoncello cake & mascapone cream on the 1st night!
They provide a great welcome hamper that makes the home feel yours as soon as you arrive (local wine, typical Italian cheese, ham, pasta & good pasta sauce, coffee, juice, milk, butter, sweet biscuits, croissants, bread & homemade jam & lots of fresh herbs & seasonal/available salad/veg from the garden).
So, if you're looking for a really lovely place to call home for a week or two, a place to relax, take in the beautiful Italian countryside & culture, go on scenic drives to historic towns, pop to the beach to lounge and take a dip in the Adriatic, enjoy unspoilt views and great food...then this is most definitely the place for you!
Thanks again Lona & Gavin, we hope to see you again soon!
