restored the old buildings around the villa into holiday

and their history. The apartments are all named after local
trees and plants.
Tenuta Le Piane, has been in the Pasqualetti Ricci family
since the 1700's. It is 700 metres above sea level, near
the village of Taccarelli, in the National Park of the
Sibillini Mountains, in an area well connected to the
principal roads of the region, a few kilomtres from two
beautiful medieval centres; Amandola and Sarnano.
La Tenuta has grounds of more than 150 hectares with
fascinating natural panoramas. The ancient woods have
paths dating back centuries that wind through them, giving
many opportunities to enjoy the natural history of the
area. There are many old hunting shelters along these
paths, which have been restored maintaining their original
fireplaces, offering guest the opportunity to sit under
pergolas, or picnic at the tables provided, surrounded
by magnificent trees. Many animals can be seen in the
woods; deer, wild boar, squirrels, martens and foxes.
The backdrop to the National Park is the astounding panorama
of the Sibillini Mountains (Mount Azzurri is 2400metres
high) home of the mysterious Sibilla Appenninica, the
legend who gave her name to these peaks. The National
Park, abounding with fabulous views, is populated by the
wolf of the appenines, and the royal eagle, who reign
over the high snow covered peaks, world of myths and legends.
