The season at Colpo di Fortuna is in full swing...also this year we have some novelties/improvements which we will soon share via our newsletter (subscriptions are possible via the website https://colpodifortuna.eu/).

The garden is in great shape after a lot of hard work and filled with beautiful flowers, bees and butterflies. A true feast for the eyes!

We do have some last minute availability; DM us for information when interested!

Time for some updates!! Getting ready for the season...

The very mild and dry winter, followed by a wetter and colder period in April (with even snow in the mountains), has given us a lot of outdoor work to get ready for the season! Nature blossomed early, got interrupted by the cold and is now on a growth spurt with a variety of rain and sun...
The swimmingpool cover is currently occupied by many tadpoles, that will have to hurry up as we will open the pool next week. Wild orchids in the grass benefit from a broken lawn mower.
In between hard work, we still try to find the time to enjoy precious Italian moments with good food and good company.

In between we have also been to Milan for the annual largest interior fair Salone del Mobile, to get inspiration for our design and woordworking/furniture business!

Almost every morning we have Roe deers walking around our property now! Such a delight to watch them wandering, grazing and playing 😍.
A couple of days ago we had a record number of 11 at the same time!

Will practice for better video quality....😅

More and more guests are bringing their bikes when they spend their holidays with us. Our region Le Marche has been developing more and more itineraries fand facilities or bicycles too and so far, our guests have been very enthousiastic about the cycling here and the many options offered. Some interesting links for this: https://www.noimarche.it/en/cycletourism.html and https://www.marchebikelife.com/ .
Close to us there are various places now where you can rent bikes (MTB, E-Bikes, road bikes etc) and you can either cycle on your own or go on guided tours and excursions.

Together with the numereous walking/hiking possibilites and intineraries (both around our accommodation and especially also in the stunning Monti Sibillini National Park that we have around the corner), this now means that our accommodation is a perfect base for active/outdoor holidays too! The perfect season temperature wise for that being spring and autumn (May, June, September, October).

Last Sunday we took the out for an adventurous ride! With a detour we went to have the traditional Sunday lunch at Vecchio Moro at Lago di San Ruffino (normally a 25 minute orso drive from us). Crossed some small rivers on the way back; Jeroen Bults being the heroic driver!
During this tour we once again experienced the beauty of our direct surroundings...

At Lago di San ruffino you can rent (E)bikes, canoes etc. and there are 2 restaurants. A beautiful, peaceful place to visit!

Yesterday we dined in the Cantine Saputi vineyard at Agriturismo Villa le Vigne (25 minute drive from us), enjoying very tasty creations of Michel star chef Enrico Mazzaroni from Ristorante Il Tiglio. A very special night!

Our region Le Marche offers great and relatively unknow wines (abroad), at a very favourable price-quality ratio. Within Le Marche we are located in the province of Macerata, where we have this special white called Ribona ( https://ribona.it/ ).
Le Marche is also the home of several great Michelin star Chefs. Putting these two together resulted in a delightful evening in the vineyard! Saputi's various Ribona wines played the lead role in accompanying the various dishes from Chef Enrico Mazzaroni yesterday. We loved it! Saputi organizes several similar night per year!

Last week we had our own open-air theater with Jeroen’s bonus brother Bruun Kuijt playing Scrooge in the summer for our guests and other invitees. A truly great solo performance against a great natural decor. Everyone really enjoyed this! Thank you for this experience Bruun and also Lies for the sounds!

Great pool weather now!!

Last Saturday in between guests we have been mowing and gardening all day, making the pool area stand out even better 😊

13/06/2023

Door de afwisseling van regen en zon de afgelopen weken, bij evengoed aangename temperaturen, ligt onze tuin er wel geweldig bij. Er ontstaat een steeds grotere bloemenzee met veel vlinders.

Op naar de echte Italiaanse zomer!

Zin om te komen genieten van al dit moois en meer? Check onze website voor beschikbaarheid, tarieven en aanbiedingen…

Een lang weekend of mid week genieten van de ontluikende lente in Le Marche?

De natuur loopt volop uit en is prachtig. Het is nog een fijne temperatuur voor outdoor activiteiten als wandelen en fietsten. Dat kan vanaf ons (lokale routes), in 1 van de vele authentieke dorpen hier in de buurt (waarvan er een aantal in de top 100 mooiste dorpen van Italie staan), in de bergen (natural park Monti sibillini, half uur rijden), rond verschillende meren (half uur rijden) en aan het strand (uur rijden). Ook is er veel culinair te genieten van mooie lokale producten in fijne lokale restaurants en tijdens culinaire evenementjes die altijd wel ergens in de regio plaats vinden.

Good start of the Easter weekend! Best Italian breakfast around 😋

A day in Umbria! Feeding our farmers side by visiting the agricultural fair and so...Surprised to find there also Dutch flower bulbs and strawberry plants!

Through a new road opened a couple of years ago between Le Marche and Umbria, it now only takes us around 1h15 to get to this beautiful neighbouring region. Perfect distance for a day trip 😊

We are also proud to share the latest result of our design and wood working activities here in Gualdo at our relatively new company Joefster & Co (page and website under construction)! A strong team with Marleen's Design Jeroen Bults-creator Stefano Lambertucci

A girlsroom we just realized from the first design, colour and material advice to the full making and installation in the nearby situated village Loro Piceno...

Beautiful day in between seasons! Fresh snow on the mountain caps, while the plants are sprouting 😍

Leuk artikel in De Smaak van Italië over 7 mooie plekken in onze veelzijdige regio Le Marche! En er is hier nog veel meer moois te ontdekken...
Le Marche is heerlijk authentiek en biedt alles van zee tot bergen binnen beperkte afstand en dus van luieren tot wandelen en fietsen. De regio heeft op culinair gebied (inclusief veel specifieke lokale producten) veel te bieden tegen zeer fijne prijzen, heeft prachtige middeleeuwse dorpen (ons buurdorp Sarnano staat op de lijst met mooiste dorpen in Italië), is niet overspoeld door toerisme en is echt overweldigend qua natuur (het groene hart van Italie), o.a. vanwege het National Park Monte Sibillini.
Allemaal uiteraard te ontdekken vanuit onze agriturismo in Gualdo 😊!

De Marken is een van de minst bekende regio’s in Italië. Opmerkelijk, want deze veelzijdige regio heeft minstens zo veel te bieden als Toscane
