Some places stay with you long after your first visit. For Axel and his family, that place was Le Marche. Since discovering the region in 2010, they had dreamed of making it more than just a destination for their holidays and, years later, that dream led them from Lake Garda to Belvedere Ostrense, in search of a new home in the Italian countryside.
We spoke with Axel about their journey, the house they finally found and the experience of buying a property in Le Marche.
During our conversations, you told me that you have already traveled around Italy quite a lot: what has finally inspired you to look for a second property in Le Marche and specifically in Belvedere Ostrense?
Since I was in Le Marche for the first time in 2010, I was fascinated by the landscape and the friendliness of the people. When my family developed the same passion for the region in the following years, we knew that we would move from Lake Garda to the Le Marche region. All that was missing was the right house.
Which features of the country house and its location convinced you that it was the right property for you?
First of all, it was the unique location. The property and the landscape that surrounds it radiate tranquility. The first impression and the view are outstanding.
Of course, the house also convinced us with its very special, almost unique style. Its size is perfect for our family and the beautiful pool was another important element.
Among the properties you viewed, what made this farmhouse stand out from the others?
As already said, the location and also the fact that it is a new construction of an old farmhouse.
In what way does this farmhouse reflect your idea of the perfect home in Italy and how do you envisage yourself and your family spending time here during your stays in the Marche?
It is the perfect house in the right size. We also wanted to be in the countryside and yet close enough to the sea. We found both in Belvedere Ostrense. We will certainly spend a lot of time on the mountain bike or explore the area with our Vespas.
Please describe, in one adjective each, the property you have just purchased, its location and your overall purchasing experience.
The property is perfect! The environment was breathtaking and the purchase process was exemplary.
What advice would you give to another German buyer considering the purchase of a property in Le Marche and what added value did you find in the support you received throughout the purchasing process?
We recommend to plan enough time to find the right house. For this it is also necessary to look at some houses in different seasons. The effort of the search should not be underestimated.
We would never buy without the support of an agency. We had confidence in the agency Italian Luxury Asset and Sandra Capella from the first moment. She was available at any time and always answered all questions very quickly. She understands to be the mediating authority between the parties.
In addition, the support after the purchase (insurance, municipality and other service providers) was quite excellent. It doesn’t get any better from our point of view.
Therefore, at this point again: Thank you very much. With your help, the entire purchase was a great experience!
