From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

An entire Italian village is available to rent out - and it only costs from £6.50 per person per night.

Petritoli in the Le Marche region on Italy’s east coast even comes with its own castle and theatre.

This pretty commune 90 kilometres south of Ancona can host between 50 and 200 people.

It’s available to hire out in its entirety from large group property provider groupaccommodation.com, whether for a wedding, party, or other largescale event.

The price of booking the village and its 98 bedrooms starts at £1,303 per night, reports The Mirror - which works out at £6.50 a head when divided between 200, the maximum number of overnight guests. However, bookings must be for a minimum of three and a maximum of seven nights.

Accommodation includes the castle itself, Palazzo Mannocchi, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside from its position 300m above sea level, plus a pool and gardens.

Elsewhere, guests can stay at self-catering apartments and traditional Italian houses dotted throughout the village, all within a short walk of each other.

Petritoli also boasts the Baroque Iride theatre - perfect for any impromptu performances you may want to stage - plus an atmospheric Roman cellar with vaulted ceilings, fresco-painted halls, and pretty squares which guests can have exclusive access to during their stay.

Catering services are available, with dinners for up to 250 people possible to arrange.

There are numerous restaurants, bars and wineries on site, as well as supermarkets and shops, all within walking distance of the village’s accommodation.

“Rent Your Own Village is an alternative location to those who search an unconventional destination,” says GroupAccommodation.com. “Its a place where guest take home an experience, something to talk about and to remember.

“Petritoli is an authentic Italian medieval village located in an unspoiled region of Italy, Le Marche, near the Adriatic coast, set in a spectacular backdrop of the Sibilini mountains and sea.

“The village is hidden and has not got the typical trappings of tourism. No multilingual menus, looming parking tickets or insistent vendors. In no time you will feel like a local, welcomed by the hosts of your village, because they are happy you came.”
