Spending long summer days by the south facing pool with the superb views is a long lasting memory of holidays spent at Casa Menta.
Pool lighting and terrace lights mean you can stay all night too star gazing and listening to the bellsof the hill town drifiting down the valley accompanied by the
Cicadas and the nightingale -  Classical Sounds of an Italian Summer in Le Marche.
A south facing covered loggia stretches the length of the house with the same wonderful views of the gentle italian countryside and the majesty of the mountains
along with a hill town , the  bells can be heard peeling down the valley.
The loggia has a large, rustic table , pretty iron chairs and lighting for dining outside in the evening.
An abundance of jasmine, vines and wisteria provide more shade under the loggia .which has a long table seats 8/10.
A nother covered loggia with rattan chairs and table leading from the kitchen provided another place to sit in the shade and admire the view with a morning coffee
or glass of wine. The loggias and courtyard have have lighting and become the most used rooms in the house during the summer.  
The pool terrace has 8 sun loungers with cushions provided.
A courtyard beside the house is a favourite spot of the owners. Planted with
lavender and rose beds it is was  designed as the perfect sundowner spot. Sitting
amongst the lemon and fig trees , a cool glass of local prosecco in hand watching yet
another beautiful sunset, star gazing and fire fly watching.

Guest Book:  Latest Note.
Just wanted to let you know we really enjoyed our stay at Casa Menta. It is a beautiful and very comfortable house, we all loved it.
Sitting outiside in the morning with a cup of coffee taking in the views was my favorite. It was absolutely a time to un-stress. We went sightseeing around
the neighbourhood, walks around SantAngelo and all the other beautiful towns nearby (Falerone, San Ginesio, Urbi Saglia, Tolentino etc.) and of
course enjoyed eating at the local restaurants: The Martyns Belgium.April 2009
This little piece of paradise is hard to leave.
The weather was superb as well. We leave it behind very sadly and will always remember it.
Thankyou. Sue Barver: Dorset.Uk  May 2009
A honeymoon to top all . a more romantic place is hard to imagine.
