A 19th-Century Estate
in the Heart of Le Marche
Welcome to Villa Pascali
A lovingly restored estate in the
hills of Le Marche
Originally designed as a family summer retreat for the Pascali family in 1845, the property was discovered in a state of ruination in 2010 by the Monkhouse family, who immediately fell in love with its views, tranquillity and natural beauty. After many years of restoration and a vision to return the property to its intended purpose, we are now welcoming guests to relax and explore this stunning, undiscovered corner of Italy.
The Lesser-Known Italy
Unspoiled villages, artisan food, and landscapes most tourists never find
Set in almost twenty acres of beautiful grounds, Villa Pascali boasts ornate gardens, terraced woodlands, vines, and stunning views of the Sibillini Mountains. Wander the terraced paths as the evening light falls across the valley, or simply settle into a chair and let the silence do its work. Sip estate-grown wines — produced from Montepulciano, Malvasia and Ciliegolo grapes grown on our own south-facing slopes — while savouring the famous Ascoli stuffed olives, and local artisan cheeses and meats. This is Italy at its most unhurried.
Accommodation
Two private homes, one unforgettable estate
Villa Pascali offers two beautifully appointed guesthouses, each designed for a truly independent stay in the heart of Le Marche. Both are available to book directly through VRBO, and each comes with its own character, outdoor space, and everything you need to settle in and feel at home.
Casa Pacifico
Three bedrooms · Sleeps up to six
Named after one of the last Pascali sons to live at the villa, Casa Pacifico is a fully independent three-bedroom house with a character all its own. Two generous king bedrooms and a flexible twin room make it ideal for families or small groups of friends, while the large sitting room and fully fitted kitchen give you everything you need to settle in properly. Step outside onto the private patio with a glass of something cold, and let the stillness of the estate do the rest.
Casa Lucia
Two bedrooms · Sleeps up to four
Named after a daughter of the Pascali family, Casa Lucia is a first-floor apartment with an elegance that feels both Italian and intimate. Two double bedrooms, each with their own en-suite, open onto a light-filled main room with kitchen, dining area and a cosy sitting space gathered around a wood-burning stove. Outside, a flower-covered gazebo makes the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a lazy evening glass of wine.
Villa Pascali in its entirety - a place to gather
For families, retreats, and creative gatherings
For larger groups looking for something truly special — a family reunion, a yoga or wellness retreat, an art group, or a milestone celebration — Villa Pascali can open its doors entirely. Alongside Casa Pacifico and Casa Lucia, the main six-bedroom villa becomes available, giving your group exclusive use of the full estate: eleven bedrooms, space for up to twenty-two guests, the pool, the vineyard, the pizza oven, and twenty acres to call your own.

Explore Marche
Mountains, coast, hilltop villages, and a food culture to savour slowly
Le Marche is one of Italy's best-kept secrets — a region of startling variety tucked between the Apennine mountains and the Adriatic Sea. Within easy reach of Villa Pascali you'll find medieval hilltop towns, serious walking and cycling in the Sibillini Mountains, long Adriatic beaches, and a food and wine culture rooted in centuries of tradition.
It rewards the curious, and there is always more to discover.
