A warm welcome and fine hospitality await you
We, your hosts, Gregory and Sandra would like to invite you to share our lovely home. Commanding an elevated hillside position, our beautiful house 'il sorger del sole' ( the sunrise) is so named because of the most fantastic sunrises that bathe the house in early morning sunlight. Facing south east, the original terraced gardens are charming with a fragrant herb garden with rosemary, sage, fennel, thyme, mint and an abundance of roses & lavenders. We are continually adding to the original gardens and every year plant more bulbs, herbs, cacti, palms, bushes and trees. We have an original well in the garden, an antique plough and an original stone bread oven. We have a gigantic sun tree with smaller ones dotted around, an ancient oriental tree and our orchard has (Fig, Plum, Cherry, Damson, Peach & Apricot trees), ancient bay trees and the meadow has walnut trees, an almond tree, a gigantic ancient oak tree, fruit bushes and groves of ancient 'Mignola' olive trees which are over 300 years old and continue to produce olives that are harvested by hand in November which produce one of the finest extra virgin olive oils in Italy - bottled under our own single estate label. il sorger del

We
have traced its history as far as possible and discovered records showing the
house registered as a 'Casa Colonica' (Country House) in the early 1700's.
However, we consider that the original section of the house pre-dates the 1700's
because some of the stonework matches that found in medieval properties in
Cingoli. 
Don't
feel 'cut off' from home during your stay because we have an excellent signal
strength for 'I-Phones. Smartphones, Mobiles, Internet Keys and in 2012 we hope
to offer
guests free WI-FI, there is also free WI-FI in Cingoli and internet access at
the library and tourist office too.
To help you
settle in and feel 'at home' in your new surroundings you will find
complimentary Italian red and white wine tea and coffee and fridge drinks
in your guest room. We hope that you will find the time either when you arrive
or during your stay to join us for
a complimentary glass of local Verdicchio wine.
