Thank you for the interest you are showing in Caserma Carina, our Italian luxury holiday apartments located in central Le Marche, Italy.

We fell in love with Italy many years ago and finally bought Caserma Carina in 2003.  We spent the next three years sympathetically restoring our half of this magnificent listed 19th century Italian country house.  The unrestored part quietly sits unoccupied, contrasting wonderfully and adding that little bit of rustic Italy to our luxury apartments.  Caserma Carina has been a labour of love and we enjoy sharing our home and wealth of local knowledge with our guests.  

Set  in a beautiful valley surrounded by a patchwork of rolling fields, olive trees and vines with amazing views of the Sibillini mountain range and Medieval hilltop towns, Caserma Carina is still only a 15 minute walk from the ancient town of Mogliano - perfect for strolling and people watching.  Relaxing in our large, fully equipped apartments, guests can enjoy a private escape with stunning views from the apartments and the immaculately kept spacious landscaped gardens, terrace and private 12 x 6m pool.
