Surroundings

Agriturismo “Il Castellaro” is located 7 km from the ancient town of Sassoferrato, at an altitude of 400 metres in the beautiful hilly landscape of the Marches. The surroundings consist of small villages where old traditions have been preserved. The nature is beautiful, the hills sloping and the views overwhelming. The area is perfect for beautiful walking and cycling trips.

The medieval town of Fabriano lies at 9 km distance from “Il Castellaro”. The centre of Fabriano has completely retained its Gothic style. Fabriano is known for its paper processing, even today Fabriano is one of the few cities where paper is still made by hand. Here, you will also find the famous paper museum.

At a distance of 16 km, in the town Genga, you will find the famous caves of Frassasi. These are the largest stalactite caves in Europe. A must if you are on holiday in this area.

The cities of Gubbio, Perugia, Assisi, Fano, Urbino and Senigallia are all at less than an hour’s drive from ‘Il Castellaro’ and are all worth a visit.

At 60 km, you will find the Adriatic coast with the velvety beaches of Senigallia and the beautiful sand and pebble beaches of Riviera del Conero.

In the Conero National Park, you can go for lovely walks. A walk to “le due sorelle” is highly recommended. This walk starts in the beautiful coastal village of Sirolo and ends on the beautiful sandy beach named after the two rocks that emerge from the azure blue water.

It is also great to walk in the Monte Cucco regional park, where you can climb the Monte Cucco and Monte Catria mountain.

So the area certainly has enough to offer for an unforgettable holiday at our agriturismo.
