The Marche / Abruzzo / Marche region

Le Marche" the undiscovered jewel of Italy" an area totally unspoilt by tourism is dramatic and stunning.The Sibillini Mountains are a walkers' paradise and are a delight to visit all year round. In Spring and Autumn the wildflowers and wildlife are in abundance and in Summer the mountain breeze is welcome.The roads are quiet and most of the surrounding hilltop towns are accessible by the back roads taking in the beautiful countryside and amazing views.

There are local markets nearly every day of the week in the surrounding towns and villages with fantastic fresh local produce, a favourite is Sarnano market on a Thursday morning. Vegetarians are also well catered for especially in the local restaurants and markets.For keen cyclists there is a very good bicycle hire centre at Amandola ,the details of which can be found in the cottage.

The Conero Peninsular,an area of outstanding natural beauty offers stretches of beautiful beaches and coves.The Conero Golf Club near Sirolo offers an 18 hole championship course and a 9 hole course. If you fancy a swim near the mountains then Lake Fiastra with lovely clear waters is perfect for a day out and a picnic.

Monte San Martino / Penna San Giovanni area

Monte San Martino a pretty, well kept town has two main churches with excellent frescoes and paintings by Carlo Vittore Crivell.The town is well served by local shops including a "pane forno"(bread oven), small supermarket, chemist, post office, bank, doctors, two bars and two highly recommended family run restaurants. .The"Priori" on the main piazza is just a minutes walk from the cottage.Prince Charles has enjoyed lunch here and seen the local art work.

"Le Querce " situated just outside the town is an agriturismo where the"antipasti experience" is highly
recommended ! There are two bars both a minutes walk from the cottage and a third bar which opens in the summer months at the top of the town which is quite a focal point on a summer's evening where there are the most amazing sunsets.The atmosphere in the town is very friendly and you will be made most welcome.

At the end of the cottage street is the large closed order of Benedictine nuns of Santa Caterina who are very rarely seen,however we did have the pleasure of meeting one of them on her way to the cemetery and offered her a lift!

We thought we would mention some of our favourite places that you may enjoy too. Sarnano is a grand old town with windy streets and a lovely piazza, you can pamper yourself at the delightful Spa or visit the Antiques Festival held here each May or just relax with a cappuccino and watch the world go by. Amandola is a favourite stop too for delicious gelati or a lunchtime aperitif at Cafe Belli especially on a Sunday morning where you can stop and people watch!

The famous Open Air Opera Festival is held at Macerata during July and August. Ascoli Piceno a little further afield has a delightful cathedral and the Piazza de Popolo is a gem especially tea at Cafe Meletti with its art nouveau interior. La Quintana (medieval pageant ) is held in Ascoli Piceno the first Sunday in August and is spectacular. Assisi is under a two hour drive through amazing scenery and is well worth a visit.
