Italy's Best Affordable Country Inns

Novecamere Resort, Le Marche An unassuming cream-stone house with blue shutters in Le Marche’s Conero Park, Novecamere Resort is not for those seeking high-tech amenities. Eco-conscious and organic are the aesthetic here. The nine guest rooms are stylishly spare with natural oak floors, white Conero-stone walls, and handmade linens. For breakfast, owner Isabella Fabiani serves salumi, cherries, plums, peaches, and grapes straight from her farm, and she’ll whip up fluffy goat-cheese omelettes on demand. There’s not much to do at Novecamere except relax, which is precisely the point. 5 Via Cave, Sirolo; 39-071/933-2127; doubles from $259, including breakfast.
