Charming Italy country house near the Marche coast

• A regal escape: In the gently-sloping hills just outside Fano, Castello Montegiove is an oasis of peace and tranquillity. Built in the neo-Gothic style in the late 1800s, this historic country house sits amidst an expanse of verdant parkland. You can spend relaxed days here lounging by the infinity pool, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the sea views. Golf fans are at home too, with a 6-hole pitch and putt course, a synthetic putting green and a 350-metre driving range in the grounds.

• Food for the soul: Start mornings off right with a selection of freshly-prepared breakfast favourites, like fruit salads, quiches, cold cuts and yoghurt, as well as some local specialties. Dinner time brings seasonal menus, prepared with care from the finest regional ingredients; enjoy with your perfect pairing from the wine cellar, which is stocked with excellent local labels and open for guided tasting tours upon request (fees apply).

• Majestic abode: You’ll be resting your head like royalty in these classically-appointed rooms; individually designed, they share a romantic and traditional feel with antique wooden furnishings, wrought iron beds and richly-patterned fabrics. Some rooms boast original features like stone fireplaces and exposed brick walls, continuing the historic ambiance of the hotel.
