Farmhouse La Valle Dimenticata

We really enjoyed our holiday (July 2023) at La Valle Dimenticata. We recommend this place for: the kindness of its owners, who are also extremely discreet; the beauty of the natural environment, in the hollow of a valley, filled with fruit trees, olive trees and flowers; the presence of animals which made the place even more pleasant for our 11-year-old daughter (the cats, the pretty chickens and the little goat were particularly appreciated) and her parents too; the beautiful swimming pool surrounded by a collection of rose bushes; the fresh and perfectly designed cottage, including its outdoor terrace where you can spend a lot of time sheltered from the sun and the rain if there is any; the practical kitchen and the delicious products we found in the fridge and the cupboard (much more and much better than what we have already received in other cottages!) etc etc. Overall, both inside and outside the cottage, everything is perfectly designed, practical, aesthetically pleasing, and tastefully furnished. It's a little paradise in nature, at the end of a long, unpaved but perfectly passable and well-maintained road (we only have a small car). The city of Urbino is about twenty minutes away and is worth more than one visit in itself. We also visited Urbania, Castello sul Metauro, Marmitte dei Giganti, Gola del Furlo, and more. Thanks again to our hosts for their hospitality! We really enjoyed our vacation (July 2023) in La Valle Dimenticata.

The town of Urbino is about twenty minutes away and alone deserves more than one visit.

Finding yourself in a place like this is truly rejuvenating. As you arrive at the "house" (because it truly feels like arriving home), you look around and can barely believe you're in that landscape. When you enter the apartments assigned to you by the lovely Claudio and Valeria, even though you practically chose them based on the photos you've seen and the comments you've read, well, you're still amazed by the attention to detail and the hospitality, and just arriving there reconnected us with the world. Beautiful, truly beautiful, everything, both inside and out. I'd say it's an "ideal" place for any type of vacation. From a relaxing one to a "hiking" one, considering there are so many beautiful places to visit nearby. Not to mention nature lovers, who really have their way. It's also suitable for those with small children, as there are no dangerous places there, and above all, they'll have fun playing with Quercia (the owners' pug) and their now-familiar goat.

A little piece of paradise in the Italian hills. Compact but very neat apartments located in a beautifully restored farmhouse. Two spacious bedrooms and a small kitchen-diner/living room. The limited space inside is more than compensated for by the fantastic outdoor space. Close to Urbino, definitely recommended for people who love nature, peace, and cycling (in the mountains). The owners (Claudio and Valeria) are super friendly and helpful.

It feels like a Renaissance king in the middle of nature. An incredibly beautiful place if you want to experience Italian country life. 30 min drive away is the ancient town of Urbino and the truffle capital of the world, Aqualagna.

A "heavenly" place...we never tire of talking about it to friends and acquaintances...hoping to return as soon as possible...
