Fermo
The city of Fermo contains a wealth of treasures. The narrow, winding streets still feature the typical Roman and medieval pavement. These streets are lined with the architecture of the Renaissance.

If you want to enjoy the view of the nearby mountains, the sea and the green hills surrounding Fermo, go to Piazzale Girfalco.

Moresco
Moresco, a few kilometres from Fermo, ranks among the most beautiful villages in Italy. Its name recalls its legendary origins, namely its construction by the Moors. Splendid crenelated walls and a beautiful castle combine with incredible panoramic views.
The well-preserved village is famous for being the village of the 7 horizons. In fact, it has an original tower with seven sides, the reason for which eludes us.

Ascoli Piceno
Ascoli Piceno is home to one of the most beautiful squares in Italy: Piazza del Popolo. The historic centre is built, for the most part, with sculpted blocks of travertine marble. Two words best describe the city: harmony and elegance! Medieval houses and arcades alternate with churches and palaces of incomparable beauty. Wander through its streets without hurrying, enjoying the exquisite olive all'ascolana, the best street food you could wish for.
I Sibillini
The Sibillini Mountains are a site of myths and legends. Their great natural beauty, endless expanses of woodland and large plateaus give these mountains a magical atmosphere.
An atmosphere that you can also experience on your bike, thanks to the many cycle paths with different degrees of difficulty and bike-friendly services with organised rides.
From May to July, the Flowering of Castelluccio di Norcia takes your breath away in awe at the splendid colours of the immense plateau.
From there, you can follow a trekking trail to the famous Lake Pilato.
However, in the Sibillini Mountains you can also visit a Grand Canyon, the Lame Rosse Canyon. Among pinnacles and rock towers where the wind and water have shaped the clay, there is a beautiful 7 km route with a vertical disparity of only 200 metres.

Loreto
Loreto is home to the beautiful Sanctuary of the same name, famous throughout the world because it houses the Holy House of the Annunciation.
Legend has it that it was brought to Loreto by the Angels. And it seems to be true, because in reality the Angels were a powerful and wealthy family who had part of the House of Nazareth brought here.
The Sanctuary is adorned with beautiful sculptures, paintings and stained glass windows.
In Loreto, you can take a journey through art and Christian faith.

Recanati
“This solitary hill has always been dear to me and this hedge, which prevents me from seeing most of the endless horizon”. It is impossible to talk about Recanati and not mention the most illustrious of its citizens, Giacomo Leopardi.
Recanati is a town capable of inspiring poems of unique beauty thanks to its evocative views, palaces and churches that take you on a journey through history.

The Frasassi Caves
In Genga in the province of Ancona, just over an hour's drive from our holiday centre, are the famous Frasassi caves. A route of about 1500 m takes you into the bowels of the earth where a spectacle of nature awaits you, a result of millennia. Water, drop by drop, has created stalactites that seem to defy the laws of gravity and stalagmites that seem to want to reach the sky.
Campofilone
Campofilone is a small, pretty and ancient village in the province of Fermo. Set between the green Marche countryside and the blue Adriatic Sea. Its ancient walls enclose a labyrinth of narrow streets, some of which are covered by barrel and cross vaults. Above all, Campofilone is famous throughout the world for its IGP product, maccheroncini. An entire festival is dedicated to them in August. The thin, long maccheroncini go perfectly with any type of meat sauce. They catch it and then release it in all its goodness in your mouth. However, in Campofilone you can enjoy exquisite food and wine products all year round.
Porto San Giorgio
Porto San Giorgio is a small town on the Marche coast with a well-equipped tourism port.
Here you can hire sailing boats to take a dip where the sea is bluest. Or go deep-sea fishing.
Or practice a variety of water sports such as stand-up paddle, kayaking, kite surfing, diving...
Or simply enjoy an aperitif in one of the many bars on the beach. There is also no shortage of events on the seafront with live music, food stands and shows.
The historic centre of Porto San Giorgio is no less attractive, protected by its battlement walls and majestic, solitary fortress. It is always a pleasure to stroll along its streets.
