Vento di
Rose
www.ventodirose.it
I am always striving to find unique and out
of the way experiences for my clients. A few years
ago I stumbled upon an enchanting B&B that
exceeded my expectations in every way. Tucked
away in the beautiful but rarely visited area
of the Marche, you will find yourself miles away
from any other tourists and completely immersed
in the authentic Italy.
Surrounded on all sides by quaint hilltop villages
is the Vento di Rose, run lovingly by Emanuela
and Emidio. On my arrival after a long drive from
Rome, I was met at the door with a flourish of
kisses, a bottle of wine and a light snack. How
refreshing to enjoy the scenery with a glass in
hand. The property is set half way up a hill giving
you great views from their patio. In the spring
and fall you will be surrounded by the color and
scent of her numerous roses which overflow from
every possible corner.
 They
have converted their home into a small three room
B&B, but don't let the amount of rooms fool
you. Each is tastefully decorated in a different
theme with impeccable attention to detail. Finding
a comfortable bed in Italy can be a challenge,
but I had no problem sleeping here and looked
forward to crawling into bed each night. Breakfast
was my only reason for leaving that bed each morning.
In a country that survives on cappuccinos and
skimpy croissants, the food here is one of a kind.
I will never forget the first morning sitting
down to an immaculately set table, rose petals
scattered across the cloth. Emanuela and Emidio
arrived with plate after plate of food. Each time
they left I was certain that was the end, only
to have them appear with yet another dish. I was
overwhelmed at the amount and variety. Everything
they served was homemade, fresh and of the highest
quality. There were regional cheeses, sausages
and meats; fresh bread, pastries, baked vegetables,
fruit preserves, fresh juices....I could go on
and on. We were never able to finish everything
and they would neatly wrap our leftovers so that
we could graze again at lunch time.
 But
what truly makes a stay here exceptional is the
personal attention from Emanuela and Emidio. They
are able to provide excellent information about
the surrounding area, set up reservations for
dinners and activities, and even personally escort
you to out of the way locations to avoid getting
lost. Nothing is impossible. She was able to arrange
a visit to the oldest pottery studio in the area
and we were given the chance to throw clay on
one of the wheels, an experience that I will never
forget. We wanted a traditional dining experience,
and the next thing I knew we were sitting elbow
to elbow with Italians at a long wooden table
in an ancient village passing around chunks of
cheese. They have an uncanny knack for always
being available without giving their guests a
sense of intrusiveness.
You arrive a guest at Vento di Rose but leave
a good friend. I found myself wishing I was staying
longer as I grudgingly packed my bags into the
car and sadly drove away.
