| Places to See Near By |
Basically these are just some of the options for day trips
in our area
Senigallia, 10 minutes from the house: long flat sandy
beach and wide boardwalk (sidewalk) that goes for miles
with many restaurants bars and hotels. Away from the
beach is the medieval historical center of town with the
famous rook (castle), various squares, the river that
cuts through the town and a long covered archway
promenade.
Many medieval walled in hill towns:
-Ostra
-Monte San Vito
-Ostra Vetere
-Corinaldo
-Belvedere Ostrense
-Morro D’Alba
-Iesi
All of these are within 10 minutes from the house. There
are many more going further into the hills and
eventually the Apennine Mountains, Arcevia being a
great one at about a 30 min drive. They all host
throughout the year various wine and food festivals.
Ancona, 30 minutes from the house: Larger city and port
with cruise size ships going daily to Greece. Very
panoramic views from the “Duomo” church that sits up
high on a hill overlooking the city and port. There are
many beaches under Ancona, Sirolo being the most
popular.
Loreto, 45 minutes from the house: Just past Ancona,
another hill town but with one of the biggest and most
famous Basilica’s at its center.
San Marino, 45 minutes from the house: It’s a republic!
Huge walled in castle town that is its own country apart
from Italy. Very suggestive panorama and medieval
setting.
Urbino, 45 minutes from the house: Very antique, one of
the very first universities in the world is here and still a
very active center for the arts. The historical center is
all an uphill climb with the buildings just rising one
above the other in the best medieval setting you can
imagine!
Gubbio, 1 hour from the house: Unique in the fact that it
is a walled in city but not perched very high. It’s just
overlooking a valley that has a backdrop of mountains.
In May there is a famous re-enactment here called ” the
running of the candles “. Famous also for its ceramics.
Assisi, about a half hour from Gubbio: Obviously very
famous for Saint Francis. It’s a quaint little town in a
valley.
Florence is 2 hours west of the house.
Rome is 3 ½ hours south of the house.
Venice is 3 ½ hours north of the house
