Set at the end of a path leading to a 13th century hermitage and to the woods of the Frati Bianchi (White Monks), this stone farmhouse, built at the beginning of the 1900s, has been carefully restored by Valeria and Corrado and now houses three apartments in the former stables and a larger apartment, Esinante, with fireplace, named after the local district. In 2005 the most ancient part of the farm was restored to obtain one new suite: Il Poggio. The interiors are decorated in delicate pastel colours and furnished in traditional Marche country style.
