Thanks to Tuscany and Umbria so often hogging the limelight, Le Marche is still a relatively undiscovered gem in Italy’s hot list of dreamy destinations. Dean and Lesley discovered their dream home here eight years ago, in the form of the 19th century listed country house Casa Mogliano which they’ve lovingly and sensitively restored to include four spacious apartments for up to five people.
Surrounded by stunning scenery as far as the eye can see, Casa Mogliano provides a glorious setting to get away from it all, relax and enjoy quality time as a family. Rolling countryside is framed by the snow topped Sibillini Mountains, yellow sun flower fields are spectacular in summer and drinking in the sunsets with a glass of chilled Prosecco is as good as it gets. What’s more, Casa Mogliano is also within an hour of the beaches, resorts and harbour towns of Italy’s Adriatic coast so guests can enjoy the very best of both worlds. Foodies will be especially tempted by the cookery courses with Guida, wine tastings to a local vineyard and truffle hunting (which kids can enjoy too) with Paulo who’s supplied his precious finds to Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsey and Raymond Blanc, Antonio Carluccio and Giorgio Locatelli.
Casa Mogliano itself is a magnificent, sun-bleached mansion set in immaculate gardens with a panoramic, swimming pool. Grown ups can happily laze away the days reclining on cushioned loungers while children play on the manicured lawns or cool off in the pool, plus there are shady gazebos, outdoor dining furniture and bbq’s for eating al fresco. The roomy apartments have been designed and finished to high standards, combining original features with luxurious modern comforts, from rich chestnut ceilings and stone tiled floors, to antique furnishings and leather sofas. The essential family entertainment includes 32” flat screen TV, DVD player, MP3 dock and WiFi, plus an extensive library of books and films. The apartments have heating and air conditioning, well equipped fitted kitchens and helpful baby gear from cots to crockery. For a night off the cooking, Italian meals are available to order and watch out for the fish man on Wednesday, delivering the catch of the day from the coast to the door.
Accommodation Overview - Apartment Three
Casa Mogliano incorporates three 1-bedroom apartments and one 2-bedroom apartment, for two to four people, plus babies.
Booking requests made from this page will secure Apartment 3 - a sunny south facing apartment on the first floor with views to the mountains, ideal for a couple with a baby. The apartment has an open plan lounge and dining kitchen, one double bedroom and bathroom with shower.

We had a lovely holiday at Caserma Carina - beautiful setting, lovely, welcoming hosts and overall a great place to stay with little ones (we took our 8 month old). Very tranquil and picturesque surroundings but also within easy reach of mountains, lakes and the seaside. We would definitely recommend it!Review dated 26/05/2018
We stayed at Caserma Carina with our 15 month old son in May 2016. The property was ideal for travel with a toddler. Baby equipment and some toys provided in the apartment, plenty of outdoor space for him to run around, a gated pool and outdoor toys to play with. It's only a 5 minute drive into Mogliano where there are restaurants, shops and a play park. All in all a fabulous holiday which was really made by the hospitality of Dean, Lesley and Grace. We were made to feel welcome from the second we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. They were always on hand to offer suggestions of things to do, places to eat and provide directions. They even provided a bucket and spade for our trip to the beach. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to my friends and I think we will be back for another stay soon.Review dated 22/05/2016
We had a wonderful relaxing weeks stay at the Caserma Carina with our 10 month old baby.
The set up is fantastic and very baby friendly with cot, high chair, baby baths and toys already there. Very peaceful and quiet.
The grounds were beautiful and we were able to really relax and enjoy the shady garden and pool whilst our baby napped and there was great wifi connection so our monitor could be taken outside.
The honesty bar meant we got to sample the wonderful wines from the region without having to venture out although we did enjoy the wine tasting with Dean and would recommend it.
The weather was quite hot whilst we were there so it may have been better to go a little earlier in the year with our baby but the air conditioned apartments meant that we stayed cool.
We would definatly recommend staying here and would love to return again and be able to explore the beautiful region a little more.
Dean, Lesley and Grace were wonderful hosts and have done a fantastic job.Review dated 19/07/2015
We had a lovely week's stay in September 2013 in Caserma Carina with our one-year-old. It is a thoroughly beautiful spot and Mogliano is a peaceful, charming town. Dean Lesley and Grace are great hosts and there was lots of baby equipment (cot, high chair etc) for us to borrow.Review dated 13/01/2014
We had an absolutely fantastic holiday at Caserma Carina. Thanks to the hospitality of the owners, Dean, Lesley and Grace, it felt like we were visiting old friends. The location, coupled with the fact that there are only 4 apartments made for a very friendly and safe holiday for ourselves and our 17 month old son. We were provided with a box of toys for our apartment and outside the pool is gated in meaning that he couldn't get to it without one of us being with him. The honesty bar meant that we didn't even need to go out in the evenings. We would have no hesitation in recommending this to others and would love to go again next year!Review dated 22/08/2013
