C+G: Tell us your background story of how you decided to have your own Italian Villa in the countryside? Everyone’s DREAM!

DDAfter years of visiting Italy, we finally decided to turn our dream of owning a house there into reality. The turning point occurred during a visit to the region, coinciding with the end of Covid. Faced with the uncertainty of the future, we decided to start living our dream now, embracing the beauty and possibilities that Italy has to offer.

C+G: We are sure it was a very hard process to bring it all to life from America where you live - tell us about that?

DDLuckily, we connected with a fantastic real estate agent early on who truly got what we were looking for. While exploring properties in Umbria, she mentioned a place in Marche that she believed would be perfect for us. The house exudes a character and charm that's tough to describe, and it's conveniently close to the Adriatic coast—a perfect fit for our family.

DD: There was an immediate connection with the charm, serene vibes, and awe-inspiring views. Each stay left its mark, and surprisingly, it didn't take long for us to feel like we truly belonged there. And, of course, being able to indulge in Italian food and wine only enhanced our love for the place!

C+G: What can guests enjoy most about the villa?

DDGuests can enjoy breathtaking views and the scent of lavender and butterflies throughout the garden. Relax by the pool, indulge in local cuisine, or join a pasta-making session. The villa's proximity to the Adriatic coast and charming towns offers a diverse range of exploration, creating unforgettable memories.

C+G: You have C+G of course on your bed / beds at Malatesta Maison - what is your favourite combinations?
