"THE STORY"....by Alma
"Borgo Sorbatti was built by my great grandfather
in the 1880s. Giovanni Sorbatti commissioned
.
Federico was a busy notary who divided his time between his offices in Rome, Macerata and Loro Piceno: a round trip that would take him three days!
The plaque from his Rome office can be seen in the gardens now.
His children (left) were Agar (the first female engineer in Le Marche, Vera and Alma. These were very modern minded women with plenty of spirit which helped them through the tough war years when they ran the estate between them.

Since taking retirement in 1998, Alma has
continued her family tradition by embarking on the
restoration of the old stores and opening them up as
Le Casale B&B. Full of her forebears' energy, Alma has taken commercial and tourism courses with a view to promoting this most beautiful of areas. She hopes that you enjoy the historic surroundings and feel the warm familial atmosphere of this special place. Grazie mamma. |
