The
Agriturismo Cascino degli Ulivi set in the beautiful countryside of Le Marche
is particularly well placed. Servigliano is on the main route between Porto
San Giorgio and Amandola mid distance between the Sibillini Mountains and the
sea and within easy reach of either.
The agriturismo is a large farmhouse built in the early 19th century. The house has five bedrooms for guests, all with en-suite bathrooms There's also an ample dining room, a bar and the farm shop.
The farmhouse is surrounded by over 2 hectares of fenced in gardens where
you will find a number of outdoor games and activities provided for guests.
These include the pool, a small football playing
field, volley ball
and bocce (a kind of Italian bowls now becoming very popular in the United
States). All equipment, balls etc. are supplied. There is also space for
archery with a steep bank on either
side for safety. Target supplied but you
will require your own equipment. Mountain bikes can also be hired on the premises.
You can relax by the agriturismo's large pool (23 x 8.5 metres) with well furnished solarium and changing room with toilets, showers and lockers. For the children there is a play area with park games close to the pool.
The agriturismo entertains a variety of
friendly farm animals such as hens, ducklings, donkeys, pigeons, cats,
fish and a dog. The larger area of the farm also raises rabbits, turkeys and
pigs.
There are 2 nature walks around the agriturismo, one of which finishes with an ornithological hide for bird watching. Visitors also find the vegetable garden which supplies the agriturismo kitchen very interesting.
You may stay at the Agriturismo on a Bed and Breakfast
or half board basis but for guests who prefer self catering,
2 angle kitchens are available. Outdoor dining facilities are offered in the
shaded porch or the converted hayloft where the restaurant also serves meals
in the summer months.

meat are all organically grown or raised on the farm. The home
cooking at
the Cascina is good and
healthy and with a different menu

recipes with the awareness that you are eating really genuine, chemical free food. You can taste the
