A marvellous choice of vacation home, Italy, the Farm MadonnaBruna lies on the gentle hills of Marche, around the ancient town of Fermo.
The farm takes its name from the commemorative portal dating back to the 19th century and situated at the entrance. The statue represents Our Lady of Loreto and recalls the small church built in times past by the local landowners to thank the Virgin Mary for a miracle.
The farm is 4km from the sea, between the town of Fermo and the village of Lapedona, and enjoys a beautiful panoramic view of the green hills and the Adriatic Sea. The farm covers 50 hectares devoted to fruit growing, vineyards and crops. The farm is certified as having 'low environmental impact' and has 14 hectares planted with specialised vineyards registered as DOC Rosso Piceno.

Nearby is an area dedicated to the breeding of horses, a riding area, and another dedicated to the breeding of several species of poultry.
Farm Madonnabruna has been recently reorganised and restored, with the building of a new and modern wine cellar. Now, the whole winemaking process is completed here, creating wines of great quality but strictly in tune with the local land.
The activities of the holiday side of the business (the Agriturismo Madonnabruna) are carried out in a beautifully restored old farmhouse, conserving the features of old rural Marche houses, and with four self-catering apartments all with independent entrances and parking.
