Casa Luce
Casa Luce – your dream retreat in Le Marche, Italy
Welcome to Casa Luce, a bright and modern holiday home in the rolling hills of Le Marche (The Marches), just three kilometers from the Adriatic coast. From the terrace you can enjoy sweeping views of the sea, gentle hills covered with olive trees and sunflowers, and the majestic Sibillini Mountains. The scenery is so breathtaking that it cannot be captured in a photo – you truly have to experience it yourself.
Comfortable stay for families and groups
Casa Luce can host up to 16 guests, divided over two spacious apartments. The upstairs apartment offers three double bedrooms and one triple bedroom, each with its own en-suite bathroom and air conditioning. The ground-floor apartment features two double bedrooms, a comfortable sofa bed and also air conditioning. Its luxurious bathroom includes a large bathtub and a spacious walk-in rain shower. Extra beds can be added in both apartments, making Casa Luce ideal for families, groups of friends or small retreats.
Enclosed garden & food forest
Surrounding the house is a fenced garden of 6, 000 m² with several seating areas, perfect for relaxing in peace. This safe and spacious garden is ideal for families with children or guests travelling with dogs. Right next to the garden you’ll find our 1. 2-hectare food forest and agricultural land, which we have been developing since 2019. Here you can wander among fruit trees, nut trees, berry bushes and aromatic herbs – a paradise for nature lovers, sustainability enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys slow living. We also practice crop rotation with sunflowers and grain, giving the landscape a different look each season.

Breakfast at Casa Luce
In spring and autumn (April, May, June and September) we love to spoil our guests with a generous breakfast for €10 per person. Enjoy fresh coffee and tea, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, yogurt with homemade granola and seasonal fruit from our own vegetable garden and food forest. We also serve warm bread rolls and croissants, eggs from our own chickens, and a wide choice of cheeses, cold cuts and sweet treats.
Every morning feels like a celebration – and some of our guests say we might just be spoiling them (or even ruining them for other breakfasts ??).

Hanny has a background in online marketing and web portals and is the owner of the B&B websites Bedandbreakfast.eu, Bedandbreakfast.nl and Bedandbreakfast.be. Her expertise in digitalization and hospitality comes together at Casa Luce, where attention to detail and a warm welcome are key.
Marcel has a background in engineering and takes care of the garden, the food forest, the farmland and the chickens. Every year he also harvests the olives from our own trees, which we turn into delicious olive oil. A real taste of the region that guests can enjoy at Casa Luce.
Together we share a passion for Italy, cooking, food forests and a self-sufficient lifestyle. We love to share our forest with the community – not only as a place to walk and relax, but also to pick and enjoy what nature has to offer.
Casa Luce is also home to our dog Pepper, a Beauceron – a French shepherd once used as a working dog in the French mountains. Pepper is friendly and curious and loves meeting our guests.
What makes us happiest? Seeing our guests enjoy the peace, the views and the space, and feeling completely at home at Casa Luce.
We look forward to welcoming you personally and sharing this special place with you.
Discover Le Marche
Le Marche is often described as Italy’s “undiscovered Tuscany”: authentic, welcoming and rich in culture. It is a region where the Adriatic Sea, rolling hills and the Apennine mountains come together. From Casa Luce you can experience it all – sun, sea, nature and culture, combined in one holiday.
The region stretches for 170 kilometers along the Adriatic coast, with sandy beaches and palm-lined boulevards. Inland you will find vineyards, olive groves and picturesque villages. Historic towns such as Fermo, Macerata and Ascoli Piceno invite you to wander through centuries-old squares, charming streets and past museums, churches and palazzi. Yet Le Marche remains much quieter and less touristy than Tuscany or Umbria. For many, it is still Italy’s best-kept secret.
Torre di Palme – our village
Perched on a hilltop near Casa Luce lies Torre di Palme, one of the most beautiful medieval villages in Italy. The village is surrounded by walls and charming gateways, with winding streets leading past terracotta facades draped in flowers. From the panoramic terraces you overlook both the Adriatic coast and the hills of Le Marche. Torre di Palme is known for its romantic atmosphere, excellent restaurants and historical character. It is a place where time seems to stand still – and where you are bound to fall in love.
Festivals, wines and flavors
Le Marche celebrates the seasons, and in summer the region comes alive with culinary village festivals (sagre). Highlights include the Sagra Nazionale dei Maccheroncini di Campofilone IGP, a national festival dedicated to the region’s famous fine egg pasta, and the Sagra delle Cozze in Pedaso, where mussels are prepared in countless ways right by the sea. In nearby Fermo you can enjoy the lively Pizza Festival, with local pizzerias and bakers offering every variety of pizza alongside music and dancing.
In autumn, villages celebrate the grape and olive harvest with colorful events, while in winter the focus turns to truffle festivals, where the prized white and black truffles from the Apennines are the stars of the show.
A special highlight is a wine tasting at Madonnabruna, our neighbors further up the hill. The Pettracci family produces outstanding wines such as the fresh Pecorino “Maree” and the robust Rosso Piceno, a blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese. In the summer months, they host a tasting every Wednesday evening – and we are happy to bring our guests there and pick them up again, so you can fully enjoy the wines and the atmosphere.
Something special every season
Le Marche is a destination for all seasons.
In spring, the hills turn yellow with sunflowers and you can enjoy fresh wines and local festivals.
In summer, the Adriatic coast is lively with beaches, village feasts and wine tastings.
In autumn, it’s all about the harvest, truffles and culinary traditions.
In winter, you’ll find peace, atmospheric Christmas markets and even skiing in the Sibillini mountains.
Experience Le Marche
Whether you want to relax by the sea, hike in the mountains, explore historic towns or taste the region’s culinary richness: in Le Marche you will find it all. And always close to Casa Luce, your base to discover this versatile and welcoming part of Italy.
