Wonderful hosts and a beautiful, tranquil location, what more could you ask for? Great weather I guess - and we had that too despite more foreboding forecasts when we looked from home. Le Marche is a fantastic part of the world and we are delighted to have found a new great place to stay while we are here.

Thank you Sarah & Mark, Rusty & Jessie for this carefree holiday in Le Marche. The Hideaway rocks! Grazie mille xxx  R & H UK MAY 2011

Wonderful accommodation - really comfortable with everything thought of for a relaxing stay. Thanks for such a warm welcome after a long journey, a great start to our holiday. C (aged 4) has loved running around all this space and lizard spotting too. (not to mention searching out the fairy houses - thanks Mark!). A beautiful area to stay in and the books and maps helped us find our feet and the best ice cream places too! D & H & C & V UK JUNE 2011

Dear Sarah and Mark, we felt at home immediately by your welcome and the very nice apartment 'Valley View'. This was the most complete house/ kitchen we have ever seen. We enjoyed our stay a lot, a hidden paradise in this unspoilt, authentic part of Italy. Mille grazie!! J & E & T & J HOLLAND JULY 2011

I really liked staying here, there is so much to do and see! We will definitely come back! Thank you so much for the cakes and muffins! Sarah and Mark are the best! They are so kind nad helpful and the book that they made is very accurate (Do not miss the gorge!!!). They have thought of everything. The views are AMAZING and the pool is cold but really convenient for a hot day. Rusty and Jessie are very good and gentle. We had the pleasure of playing with them. Thank you SOOO MUCH for an AWSOME HOLIDAY!!! E UK AUGUST 2011

We had a fantastic time an unexpectedly beautiful region, well worth exploring and re-exploring, and returning to our lovely apartment. The warm welcome made it perfect, we particulary appreciated the home-made maps and suggestions in the little brown book. Highlights for us: the Gola dell' Infernaccio (be careful - arrive early on peak days, many local people come, so carpark is full, but not many "brave" the walk): the stables at Lago di San Ruffino with great horseriding lessons for our kids (enough English spoken). The surprising proximity of the sea - San Benedetto is fun and exclusively Italian; Ascoli Piceno and the surrounding countryside: spectacular walks and drives (return from San Benedetto > Acquaviva, Offida, Castignano - really superb). Great shame to be going, but, like everyone else, plenty of vows to return R & P & L & S BELGIUM AUGUST 2011

Thank you to Mark and Sarah for an absolutely fantastic week here at The HIdeaway! We loved all the recommendations in the red folder and the little book - it made our relaxing week even more relaxing as we got to explore the best of the area without having to consult the guide book each day! We really appreciated the personal touches that made this place so special, from the recommendations to the homemade cakes (and pancakes!). We'll be back!  L & D UK AUGUST 2011

Sarah & Mark, thank you so much for all your help and assistance which made all the difference during our first trip to Le Marche. you have thought of everything in the cosy accommodation. How kind of you to make the birthday cake - it was delicious, as was the produce you left us. We also enjoyed meeting your friends at the Abbey concert, which was a lovely thing to do - not forgetting Rusty the showman! We loved this region and hope to be back one day. Kind regards to you both. M & D UK October 2011
