Your hosts: When we lived in England it was always our dream to move abroad and we always loved Italy so it seemed the natural choice. We love the culture, the music, the Marchigiano cuisine, the friendliness of the people and of course the weather. We have a 2 grown up children and 2 grandchildren who live in England. The bed & breakfast and olive farm require lots of hard work and energy although Gregory still finds time to pursue his passion of teaching and works as a Professore part-time for the Italian State. Sandra when not fulfilling her casa lingua duties pursues her interests of cooking and gardening . We feel that our ancient house is happy when guests are staying and we love to welcome returning guests as friends. We look forward to meeting you and sharing our lovely home with you. Gregory & Sandra Where we are: Temperatures: We show our average maximum daily temperatures for il sorger del sole on our 'News Update' page and we are usually at least +4°C warmer than the temperatures recorded in Cingoli. This is because we are at a lower altitude than Cingoli and are also protected by the hill behind us! Contacting
