(Translated by Google) Being one with the seafront of San Benedetto del Tronto, surrounded by varieties of palm trees makes it unique in comparison to other locations on the Adriatic Coast. Some fountains and green islands with a cycle path and a wide sidewalk make it a pleasant space for tourists to walk.

It's a beautiful walk along the southern pier, where you can see over 100 sculptures by artists from around the world. You can also explore it on foot or by bike. It's close to the city center.

(Translated by Google) The art museum on the sea of ​​San Benedetto del Tronto is located on the southern pier, a long strip of asphalted land that extends into the sea for just over a kilometer. Here, artists from all over the world have created their works in the form of sculptures or mural paintings using the breakwaters of the pier. The statues of the nativity scene on the sea and a bronze sculpture dedicated to Jonathan Livingston's "Seagull" stand out on the rocks. It is a place that I love to visit every day when I am in San Benedetto because you can breathe in a special atmosphere... The white stones, the blue sea that surrounds them, the art that amazes you, the silence that surrounds you, the red lighthouse at the end of the pier... All this instills great peace and serenity! (Original) Il museo d'arte sul mare di San Benedetto del Tronto si trova al molo sud, una lunga striscia di terra asfaltata che si estende sul mare per poco più di un chilometro. Qui artisti provenienti da tutto il mondo hanno realizzato le loro opere in forma di sculture o pitture murali utilizzando i frangiflutti del molo. Svettano poi sugli scogli le statue del presepe sul mare e una scultura in bronzo dedicata al "Gabbiano" di Jonathan Livingston. E' un posto che adoro visitare ogni giorno quando sono a San Benedetto perché si respira un'atmosfera particolare...Le pietre bianche, il mare azzurro che le circonda, l'arte che ti stupisce, il silenzio che ti circonda, il faro rosso alla fine del molo...Tutto questo infonde una gran pace e serenità!

Right on the beach and they were even so kind to seat me solo during the lunch rush (14:30) Mussels were delicious ! The appropriate spritz was a bit strong but I guess that depends on particular taste. Overall bartenders and servers were friendly, quick, and efficient. Love this place and can't wait to return!

a classic tourist trap. The food is like the art: mediocre. To avoid
Wim T — Google review
It’s hard to have a bad meal in Italy and fairly easy to have a great one. However our two plates were exceptional: cappellacci del papà (veal ravioli in butter tartufo sauce) and paccheri Baldoni (tomato bacala sugo). The outdoor terrazza, it’s view, the service and on a Monday evening in a delightful old center of town, Grottammare, all made for a wonderful occasion.

Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
The Roman Cisterns in Fermo are an incredible architectural marvel dating back to around 40 AD. This historical relic covers an expansive area of 2,200 square meters and consists of thirty interconnected rooms used for collecting and distributing rainwater. Situated beneath various parts of the city, these cisterns showcase exceptional preservation and represent a remarkable example of ancient Roman hydraulic engineering. A visit to these impressive structures is a must for any tourist exploring Fermo's historic center.
It's just a part of Roman empire history left in the middle of the city, I was shocked how intelligent was people in that period, a must see place to visit. There is a guide as well, but she was talking only Italian, I'm not sure if they have a English guide. Anyway it's a really cool place but inside is cold so take a hoodie with you when you wanna go there.

We visited the "cisterne romane", the palazzo Priori, the library and last but not least an art exhibition. (All this in Fermo) The Marche region has a lot to offer even if unknown to the most. Most of all it helped us continue believing that for every bad day many good ones are yet to come.
Julie L — Google review
This a relatively little known Roman underground archeological site. But it is a MUST visit. Built by the ancient romans, the cisterns were built to collect rainwater. The ticket costs €4, worth every penny. You can visit other sites/museums in Fermo with a single ticket that includes the cisterns. The other museums are also worth visiting.

Piazza del Popolo, established in 1442 at the center of Fermo, is a remarkable and well-preserved area that showcases the town's architectural elegance. It boasts a visually pleasing and structurally precise environment, where significant buildings seamlessly blend into its surroundings. One such structure is the Loggiato di San Rocco (Gallery of St. Rocco), constructed in 1528 and situated opposite the Church of San Rocco from 1505 onwards.
It is a small but beautiful historical plaza with the church of San Francis, the Palazzo dei Capitani, and several restaurants and shops all around. Several activities are happening year-round, even in the winter until late at night.

Nice square with lovely architecture all around the piazza. At 11am all the shops were closed except for one cafe then by noon some shops started opening up. The council house is worth a tour, but do NOT miss the magnificent Roman underground cistern. Tickets from the tourist office at the bottom corner of the piazza.

A lovely place to visit and it gets busy at the weekends. Only thing I would say has something against it is. Be careful where you stop for a drink as soon as the waiting staff hear you speak English the prices go up. Other than that a great place to visit and the sight seeing is 5* too.

Very interesting city! You need at least 5 hours to view the most interesting places. Take an ice cream or a coffee (Italian). Very impressive city just from the highway A14 (13 km). Also enjoy a break in one of the many AirBnb places to enjoy the great views. I had one 6 km from Fermo. It is if you are in a concert of crickets.

Nice little plaza on top of the hill in the historical center of Fermo surrounded by historical buildings. There are quite many restaurants and cafes. Parking possibilities abound but can be scarce to find if you happen to visit the place during some festivities as the local police tend to close the main access streets to the plaza. The public toilets cannot be recommended (uninviting, not clean). No wonder they were empty during yesterday's local evening market despite the center being crowded.

Ascoli Piceno Cathedral

Mentioned on

Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Ascoli Piceno Cathedral is a stunning medieval church with a redesigned facade dating back to 1389. The exterior features 64 square partitions adorned with frescoes depicting biblical scenes, earning it the nickname "Bible of the Poor." Inside, visitors can admire beautiful frescoes under the first floor and explore the adjacent baptistery. While the cathedral itself is a must-see with its impressive marble columns, there's also an unfortunate uncertainty about accessing the catacombs/crypts.
Because of the cript bellow the main oltair I love this cathedral. You can see old stone coffins and before you get to them an old chapel. Cathedral was under renovations so some parts were not visible, but still worth it. It was full hour when we left and you can see how big are church bells and how far out from the tower they go.

The cathedral itself is extremely beautiful and well worth a quick visit. Unfortunately the catacombs/crypts are not officially open and I would say that there is no guarantee that you are allowed to enter them which is a bit unfortunate as they are one of the unique things about this cathedral.

Never checked the history and found out it is 500 years older then Rome after we left, definitely for a day or two worth of exlporation instead of just several hours. The main square in front of cathedral and palace is amazing, with suvenir shops and a fountain, with several places to explore. There is another big square a 100m away maybe even nicer.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful square in the historic center of Ascoli Piceno. This square is home to several historic buildings, the Cathedral of Sant'Emidio, the Diocesan Museum, and two monumental fountains, built in different eras but mirroring each other, with drinkable water gushing from the mouths of fish. Various bars and restaurants located directly on the square offer a historic aperitif. (Original) Piazza bellissima del centro storico di Ascoli Piceno. Su tale piazza ci sono vari palazzi storici, il duomo di Sant'Emidio, il museo diocesano, due fontane monumentali realizzate in epoche diverse ma speculari, con acqua potabile zampillante dalla bocca di pesci.

B & B Piazza Del Popolo

Bed & breakfast
Sights & Landmarks
The B & B Piazza Del Popolo is situated in a historic building at the heart of Ascoli Piceno's historic center, just a short distance from the main square and the renowned Caffe Meletti. The rooms are adorned with hand-painted quotes on the walls, and guests have access to a shared kitchen. Visitors have praised its cleanliness, location, and overall experience. Guests can enjoy a generous breakfast at the nearby Boccascena pastry shop.
Perfect place to stay and very friendly host.
Nikolaus D — Google review
The room is in a busy street with constant noise and poor insulation. I was frequently awaken by loud people passing by and there was a garbage truck that seemed to be collecting trash from late hours until early morning, right in front of the building. The included breakfast is actually a voucher for one drink and one pastry piece in a nearby bistro.

Recommended for those who want to immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere of Ascoli.

(Translated by Google) The B&B is located in the center a few steps from the square and services in general. The lady who welcomed us was very kind and helpful and provided us with valuable information. The room is nice but I would recommend some more attention to the accuracy of the finishing and a little more to the cleanliness of the room. I would also like to point out that my room was adjacent to another and communicating with a door (locked of course) but with simple noises or chatter, there was no privacy (especially at night or in the silence of the early morning). Breakfast included which is consumed at a partner bar. I can't give information on this because I didn't use the breakfast voucher. (Original) Il beb si trova al centro a pochi passi dalla piazza e servizi in generale. La signora che ci ha accolto molto gentile e disponibile che ci ha fornito informazioni preziose .

Vorrei anche segnalare che la mia stanza era adiacente con un’altra e comunicante con una porta ( naturalmente chiusa a chiave ) ma con semplici rumori o chiacchiere, non si aveva la privacy ( sopratutto nelle ore notturne o nel silenzio della mattina presto) .

Church of Saint Peter Martyr

Churches & Cathedrals
The Church of Saint Peter Martyr, located in Ascoli Piceno, is a historic attraction that showcases the transition from Romanesque to Gothic style over three centuries. It is said that St. Francis visited Ascoli in 1215 and inspired thirty young boys to follow his teachings. The church's interior boasts a bright and austere Gothic architecture, with interventions from the Baroque era.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful church with two entrances and interesting external details. As for the interior, the photos speak for themselves: there are medieval frescoes on the columns and in other areas but the San Sebastiano is the one that amazed me the most! (Original) Bellissima chiesa con due ingressi e dettagli esterni interessanti. Per quanto riguarda l’interno le foto parlano da sole: ci sono affreschi medioevali sulle colonne e in altre aree ma il San Sebastiano è quello che più mi ha stupita!
Jass — Google review
(Translated by Google) The church was built in 1280 and is very beautiful. Like that of San Francesco, the sumptuous entrance in the left nave stands out from the square, while the main façade is almost hidden. Gothic with Baroque overtones, it nevertheless has an austere presence. (Original) La chiesa è stata eretta nel 1280 ed è molto bella. In analogia a quella di San Francesco, anche qui è il sontuoso ingresso nella navata sinistra che fa bella mostra di se nella piazza, mentre la facciata principale è quasi nascosta. Gotico con sovrapposizioni barocche, ha comunque una presenza austera.

Paolo U — Google review
(Translated by Google) Not only the church but the entire Dominican monastic complex which also includes the Umberto I technical institute where, in the former cloister, a seventeenth-century cycle of frescoes on the life of Saint Catherine of Siena is visible. What is striking about the interior of the church is the brightness and austere Gothic architecture despite the interventions of the Baroque era. The artistic-architectural stratification is notable, ranging from medieval and Renaissance frescoes to eighteenth-century altars with sculptures and large canvases by local school artists. Also worth visiting are the sacristy and an exhibition dedicated to the Annunciation and finally, along the external perimeter of the block, the perspective of rationalist architecture, with celebratory characteristics of the period, of the technical institute which, unfortunately, in the "twenty years" of the 20th century was superimposed to replace the monastery (Original) Non solo la chiesa ma tutto il complesso monastico domenicano che ingloba anche l'istituto tecnico Umberto I dove è visibile, nell'ex chiostro, un seicentesco ciclo di affreschi sulla vita di Santa Caterina da Siena. Quello che colpisce nell'interno della chiesa è la luminosità e l'austera architettura gotica nonostante gli interventi di epoca barocca. Notevole la stratificazione artistico architettonica che va dagli affreschi di epoca medioevale e rinascimentali agli altari settecenteschi con sculture e grandi tele di artisti di scuola locale. Da visitare anche la sacrestia e una esposizione dedicata all'Annunciazione ed infine, percorrendo il perimetro esterno dell'isolato, la prospettiva di architettura razionalista, con caratteristiche celebrative del periodo, dell'istituto tecnico che, purtroppo, nel "ventennio" del '900 si è sovrapposto in sostituzione del monastero

Sanctuary of the Holy House of Loreto

Mentioned on

Shrine
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of Loreto, the Sanctuary of the Holy House of Loreto, or Basilica della Santa Casa, stands as a beacon for pilgrims and visitors alike. This revered site is steeped in tradition, believed to be the very home where the Virgin Mary lived and was raised. According to legend, angels transported this sacred house from Palestine to Italy on December 10th, 1294.
Beautiful basilica perched high on a hill. The importance is profound as it is the home of the birthplace of Mary, brought here by the crusaders. The reverence with which visitors enter the chambers is amazing. What a wonderful place to visit, and quite serendipitous on our part as it was an unplanned stop. Definitely worth seeing.

Ever wonder what happened to the house of the Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus? The house without the foundation was believed to have been brought by the angels in Loreto Italy in the middle of the road. The foundation of the house is in Israel though. The house is now housed inside a beautiful church in Loreto, Italy. We drove there from. Rome and took us about 3 and a half hours. See the church at night or might as well attend a mass at night and during the day. The place is beautiful and quiet. Parking during our visit was challenging. Make sure you have Euros in cash/coins to pay for parking. When we were there, it won't take credit and one miraculous moment, someone gave us coins to pay for parking! An angel sent by Jesus or Mama Mary! Praise God! You cannot take pictures i side Mother Mary's house. But once inside, you can see even some of Jesus scribbles on the wall 😀

Visiting the Madonna’s House in Loreto was a deeply moving and spiritual experience. This sacred place, known as the Holy House, is believed to be where the Virgin Mary lived and received the Angel Gabriel’s announcement. The story of how this humble home was miraculously transported from Nazareth to Loreto in the 13th century adds a sense of wonder and faith to the site. Inside the beautiful basilica that protects it, I felt a profound peace and connection to centuries of devotion.

Beautiful square with the 1614 fountain and the basilica which houses what is believed to be the house of Saint Mary, mother of Jesus, in Nazareth. Masses are held several times a day; a good time for a tourist visit might be between 12:30 and 5:00 PM. Parking lots outside the walls are charged from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm € 1.40/hour € 10 all day, a short distance away there are also large parking lots both free and charged. Toilets € 0.50 at the small gardens behind the square. If you limit yourself to this and to walking along the main street with the businesses, the visit can take an hour and a half. There is also more to see and the visit can take up the whole day. The Museo Pontificio Della Santa Casa € 8 and the patrol walkways € 5 these only with guided tour ( 5 per day the first at 10) their cumulative ticket € 10. "Porta della Marina" from 1534, near has the panoramic terrace, the small park of remembrance, the“holy staircase” of 400 steps and the Polish war cemetery. Free admission for the permanent mechanical nativity scene 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2:30-7:30 p.m. and the small air force museum from July to September daily 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m., an airplane of the “Frecce Tricolori,” is exhibited outside the “round tower” . The Roman Gate of 1590, near the civic tower of the 17th, and of course you can also walk all the way around the defensive walls. According to tradition, in 1291, angels transported three walls of Our Lady's house from the cave in Nazareth, to which it was connected by the fourth wall, to the town of Rijeka in Croatia. They then moved it to the vicinity of Ancona. After 9 months, another transfer took place, this time to Porto Recanati on the property of a noblewoman named “Loreta”. After her name, the statue on display in the house was called “Madonna di Loreta” or “Vergine Lauretana”, but it burned down in a fire in 1921 and the statue on display today is a copy from 1922. Again the angels, after 8 months, moved the house to another private property, but in 1294 they lifted it into the air again, finally depositing it on the top of a hill, and the shrine and city of Loreto was founded around it. According to another, more historical version, it was the Crusaders, nearing defeat in the Last Crusade, who dismantled the house. The transport to Italy from Palestine was carried out by the "Angeli" family, a real Italian surname, and over the years this gave rise to a misunderstanding that confused them with heavenly angels. Having become a pilgrimage destination in 1468, work began on the construction of the basilica. In the 16th century Donato Bramante created the fine marble facing that covers the outer walls of the “Holy House". The city's mighty city walls were built between 1518 and 1522 to resist possible attacks by the Turks who landed on the coasts plundering the villages, an earlier wall from 1315 defended pilgrims and their donations from bandits. The basilica''s exterior was completed in 1587 while work on the interior decorations ended a few years later.

(Translated by Google) Very nice. Also open in summer. If you come on days of high public attendance and very hot weather and you don't have the chance to see it with peace of mind, pay attention to its details. The space is limited by a path. Many mechanisms and creations on 3 floors to increase the scenes. Statues not always proportionate to the diorama. Some, beautiful ones specially created with clothes. It's a shame because the lighting is certainly not very efficient and the scenes are very dark. No day and night effect is active. It is accessed with a free offer that allows maintenance. (Original) Molto bello. Aperto anche in estate. Se si capita nei giorni di alta affluenza pubblico e molto caldo e non si ha possibilità di vederlo con tranquillità attenzione nei suoi particolari. Lo spazio e limitato da un percorso.Moltissimi meccanismi e creazioni su 3 piani per aumentare le scene. Statue non sempre proporzionate al diorama. Alcune, belle create appositamente con abiti.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and surprising. Made by volunteers who use the proceeds of donated offerings to benefit charity. At the entrance there is a person who acts as caretaker and there is a box for donations. The exhibition is on a lower floor and the stairs are used: the left side is for going down and the right side is for going up and out. The room is low and the lights are dim, obviously to create atmosphere and focus on the works. You walk along short blind corridors to arrive, at the end, at the nativity scene. Personally I liked the woodcutter found in the first scene, but many of the other characters are notable. I noticed that the place is under video surveillance with various cameras (Original) Bello e sorprendente. Realizzato da volontari che utilizzano il ricavato delle offerte donate per fare beneficenza. All' ingresso c'è una persona che fa da custode e vi è la cassetta per le offerte. L'esposizione è ad un piano inferiore e si utilizzano le scale: il lato SX è per scendere e il lato DX e per salire ed uscire. Il locale è basso e le luci sono soffuse, ovviamente per creare atmosfera e concentrarsi sulle opere. Si percorrono dei brevi corridoi ciechi per arrivare, alla fine, alla scena della natività. Personalmente mi è piaciuto lo spaccalegna che si trova nella prima scena, ma molti altri personaggi sono di notevole fattura. Ho notato che il locale è video sorvegliato con varie telecamere

Attending a performance at the Sferisterio during the Macerata Opera Festival is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The unique open-air arena, with its impressive architecture and incredible acoustics, provides the perfect setting for world-class opera.

Fantastic old historic opera house in Macerata. We saw Carmen here last night and it was a serious treat. We were in box 35 and had a lovely view of the stage, sets and production.

(Translated by Google) A beautifully restored castle. Many rooms are open to visitors, from the towers to the caves and the torture chamber. There was also a very interesting humorous exhibition. The castle also houses a museum on the Paleolithic and Bronze Ages, with artifacts found on site. Several interactive rooms complete the experience. The ticket price, €6 for adults (our kids had free admission), was also very reasonable considering the offer. I recommend a visit. (Original) Un castello ottimamente ristrutturato. Tante sale visitabili, dalle torri alle grotte ed alla sala delle torture. C'era anche una mostra Umoristicamolto interessante. Il castello poi ospita anche un museo sul paleolitico e l'età del bronzo con reperti trovati in loco. Alcune sale interattive, completano l'opera. A questo punto, l'importo del biglietto, 6€ per gli adulti (per i nostri ragazzi, l'ingresso era gratuito) è risultato anche molto economico vista l'offerta. Consiglio una visita.

(Translated by Google) So close and yet so unknown... I'd never visited it before, but it's worth it. It's well-maintained and contains very interesting exhibitions and museums. It even has an elevator, which allowed my mother, who has mobility issues, to access the upper floors. (Original) Così vicino e così sconosciuto...nn lo avevo mai visitato ma vale la pena farlo..ben curato e contiene mostre e musei molto interessanti ....ha anche un ascensore che ha permesso a mia madre che ha difficoltà motorie di accedere ai piani superiori...

(Translated by Google) We have wanted to do this hike for a long time, finally we leave. The path is long and for expert hikers the place is extraordinary of breathtaking beauty. Unfortunately the path is absolutely not well maintained and well marked there are very challenging points where it would be necessary to add fences or ropes to hold on to avoid the risk of falling or slipping in the canyon. Gravel everywhere slippery ground and a path not for everyone. Starting from Foce there is only one sign but no indication of the difficulty the travel time the kilometers it is taken for granted that you update digitally but not everyone does it. Few checks despite being the Sibillini Mountains Park. However beautiful difficult hike but the effort is rewarded. (Original) Da tempo volevamo fare questa escursione finalmente partiamo. Il cammino è lungo e per escursionisti esperti il luogo è straordinario di una bellezza mozzafiato. Purtroppo il percorsonon è assolutamente ben curato e ben segnalato ci sono punti molto impegnativi dove sarebbe necessario aggiungere degli steccati o delle corde dove tenersi per non rischiare di cadere o wcivolare nei canalone. Ghiaiaone dappertutto terreno sdrucciolevole e un percorso non per tutti. Partiti da Foce c'è un solo cartello ma nessuna indicazione su la difficoltà il tempo di percorrenza i km si da per scontato che ci si aggiorni digitalmente ma non tutti lo fanno. Pochi controlli nonostante sia Parco dei Monti Sibillini. Comunque bellissima escursione difficile ma ripagata la fatica.

(Translated by Google) A one-of-a-kind lake, we're at almost 2,000 meters, so it's mountainous. You have to hike, so you have to earn your way to the view of the lake and the Devil's Peak... (Original) Un lago unico nel suo genere, siamo a quasi 2000 metri, quindi montagna. Devi camminare, quindi devi guadagnartela la visione del lago e del pizzo del diavolo...

Great and tranquil place to visit. The drive to it is scenic and does take a while but it is well worth the wait. The water is clear and swimming is a must. The area is picturesque and clean. Parking can be an issue during peak times as the place is popular with both locals and tourists. There is also several places to get light refreshments at a reasonable price.

(Translated by Google) A crystal clear lake in the Sibylline Mountains - Lago di Cingoli - beautifully blended into the landscape, with an amazing color. Entirely man-made on the Musone River Dam to shelter the rich surrounding fauna and flora. The lake has an amazing color, totally turquoise. It's unbelievable. Combined with the green vegetation and mountains in the background, a beautiful image is created. If you are in the area, be sure to come see this beautiful lake. (Original) Krystalicznie czyste jezioro w górach Sybilińskich - Lago di Cingoli - przepięknie wtopione w krajobraz, o niesamowitym kolorze.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful. It's reminiscent of a North American lake. It's very picturesque even after sunset. From the bridge that crosses it, you can admire magnificent landscapes. The climate is pleasant even on hot summer days. You can rent boats or sunbathe on the beach. The Popeye's Bay bar overlooks the shore. It's very charming and the staff are welcoming. Parking is nearby. (Original) Molto bello. Ricorda un lago del Nord America. Anche dopo il tramonto è molto suggestivo. Dal ponte che lo attraversa è possibile ammirare magnifici paesaggi.

There are definitely more beautiful places in the Marche. (Original) Non è un lago ma una diga.

(Translated by Google) The Palazzo Ducale, headquarters of UNICAM, is partly unusable following the 2016 earthquake, it is the result of three buildings merged and stratified one above the other and built in different eras. After the courtyard you look out from the terrace which shows the view of the valley below Camerino and the Botanical Garden. We all hope that it can be renovated and opened soon. (Original) Il palazzo Ducale , sede della UNICAM, è in parte inagibile a seguito del terremoto del 2016, è il risultato di tre edifici accorpati e stratificati uno sopra l'altro e costruite in epoche diverse.

We had a wonderful stay (4 nights). Staff was kind, warm and incredible from start to finish. We enjoyed the authenticity and respect to the historic character of the village. Pool was great as well. Its a bit off the beaten track but we would certainly go back

It was amazing. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, from the reception to the room service. The room was spacious and comfortable. There’s no air conditioning, but we were lucky with the weather, so I can’t say how it would be in very hot or cold conditions. The location in an ancient village is truly unique, with lovely exhibitions in the hotel, and we even enjoyed a beautiful piano concert they hosted in the church at the estate. Note that there are quite a lot of stairs, so it may not be ideal for guests with mobility issues.

We stayed at Castello di Postignano for one night but wished it was longer. The reception was great, and the very kind security guided us upstairs via the lift. Our dog was very welcome. Manfred, who took care of the bar and breakfast area, was very attentive and provided excellent service. The room was spacious, had everything we needed, and offered a beautiful view. We also had a great dinner. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

A magical hotel in the heart of Umbria. The entire staff is charming, helpful and caring. The accommodation we received was more than a suite, simply a small apartment equipped with attention to the smallest details. Breakfast is precise, delicious and sufficiently rich. There is a restaurant on site that serves high-quality dinner, fine dining.

We stayed here for a mini honey moon and wow. The photos do not do it justice. Such a cool and chic location. The whole village is the hotel, with an amazing restaurant, and with a great pool and spa and lots of little art galleries, makes it such a great place to unwind in the Umbrian hills. All the staff were super friendly and helpful, although Puma the little black cat was our favourite staff member. Dont hesitate, just book here. And all at a fantastic price.
Simon W — Google review
I give 4 stars for the restaurant. The food was subpar and conceptually too ‘fancy’. You need a rustic cuisine. An honest and authentic expression of the territory, with more vegetables, simply prepared. Even the bread was just ok. You need to change menu and philosophy altogether, the setting and nature of the location call for it.

A beautiful Abbey in the area of the Marche. The Abbey dates from around the year 1000 a.d. and is in the Roman style. If you approach the Abbey from the far side of the river you enter the village by crossing the Roman Bridge and passing through a gateway in the tower which formed part of the protective wall around the Abbey. The Abbey has an access ramp inside the entrance to allow people with mobility problems to enter. Attached to the Abbey is a small but beautifully presented museum, speleo paleontologico and archeologico. The museum has a lift and disabled toilets. Dogs are not allowed.

(Translated by Google) Sensational example of INCIVILITY and total neglect for the public. We go to this museum walking in the rain, with the girls, only to discover that it is closed - despite the very clear and public opening hours. We call the telephone number and they tell us that THE MUSEUM HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, but no one, NO ONE has ever bothered to update the official website and NOT EVEN THE TIMES ON GOOGLE!! When we complain, they tell us "Well, it's not up to us!". AND WHO DOES IT DEPEND ON, THEN?? YOU ANSWER THE PHONE INDICATED FOR THE MUSEUM, YOU CAN'T EVEN UPDATE THE TIMES ON GOOGLE?? (Original) Clamoroso esempio di INCIVILTA' e totale incuria per il pubblico.

Alle nostre rimostranze, ci dicono "Eh, non dipende da noi!". E DA CHI DIPENDE, ALLORA?? VOI RISPONDETE AL TELEFONO INDICATO PER IL MUSEO, NON POTETE NEMMENO AGGIORNARE GLI ORARI SU GOOGLE??
