Sarah and Mark are Brits who moved to Le Marche and opened a B&B and vacation rentals place. We stayed there; it's nicely done. They put a lot into the renovation and have made it a really special place. It's called The Hideaway, and it is; tucked away near Amandola but not too far from town, it's a quiet relaxing spot. They're very sweet.
They took on the task of caring for the animal victims of the Amatrice earthquake, the unknown victims in a sense, whose owners died, or being homeless themselves couldn't find their pets again. Sarah and Mark were the ones who cared for the animals and found homes for the ones left homeless.
Their own home was badly damaged, while the rooms they rent out weren't. So, to help them, there is the auction. Or of course, you can help by booking a stay at the Hideaway!
