accommodation facility

Your accommodation facility is located in the countryside, a stone’s throw from the village of Cingoli.
The farmhouse consists of two structures: the farmhouse and the country house. The first, a stone farmhouse of the XVII century, has been restored following its original characteristics with exposed beams, terracotta floors and a wonderful stone fireplace. The rooms are in the second structure, each one with bathroom, TV, wi-fi, heating and air conditioning.
There is a large garden surrounding both the structures, with the swimming pool ready to welcome you for a refreshing bath and the natural solarium!

day 1

For those who wish to begin with a truly authentic immersion into the rural life of the Marche, your holiday will start alongside Marta and Mattia, passionate beekeepers who will guide you into the fascinating world of bees through a family-friendly experience, offering a glimpse into the remarkable and harmonious complexity of the hive.

Among hives, the scent of honey and stories of life closely connected to nature, you will enjoy an engaging experience that offers a meaningful first encounter with this unique territory.

In the afternoon, you will arrive at the farmhouse, where you can finally unwind after the day, relaxing by the pool or in the garden and enjoying the peacefulness of the countryside.

In the evening, we suggest heading to Cingoli for a stroll through the village. You can make your way up to the famous “Balcone delle Marche” and be amazed by a panorama stretching across rolling hills, cultivated fields, and, on a clear day, the sea on the horizon.

Dinner at your leisure.

day 2

The holiday begins with a truly special meeting: Andrea, the miller, will welcome you to discover his historic mill, which has stood in the area since 1565! Andrea will guide you through a journey exploring the power of water and its role in this historic place. An exciting experience suitable for both adults and children alike!

After this experience, we recommend enjoying a light and tasty lunch by the shores of Lake Catreccioni, just above the mill, where you can take in the scenery, soak up the sun, and enjoy a refreshing swim—or, if you prefer, take a trip to the Cingoli waterfalls.

For the more adventurous, you can set off on an e-bike excursion suitable for all, led by Silvano, exploring Monte San Vicino, whose distinctive shape will define the landscape of your holiday!

day 3

Today is all about relaxation!
You can choose between two experiences, both designed to offer a day full of leisure and enjoyment.

Spend the whole day at the water park, diving into pools, racing down water slides, or—if you’re feeling brave, young or old—tackling the fun water courses while comfortably seated on giant inflatable rings. The park features several pools, slides for children and adults, the Gran Canyon River, and a “lagoon” with whirlpools, water games, and the Pirate Ship! While the little ones are having fun, the adults can take the opportunity to relax a bit.

Alternatively, for those who prefer a more tranquil experience while exploring the local area, you can visit Lucrezia and Beniamino in their stunning herbal garden, surrounded by a beautiful lavender field. Beyond the guided tour, you’ll try your hand at creating a natural therapeutic perfume using the farm’s essential oils!

day 4

This day is dedicated to a special encounter and an immersion into one of the rural traditions of the Marche region: foraging and cooking wild herbs!

You will meet Carla, who will guide you on a walk through the uncultivated areas of her farm, teaching you how to identify and recognise some of the wild herbs that grow in this territory. We will fill our baskets with the freshest and most nutritious herbs before heading to the kitchen, where we will prepare dishes from the traditional, humble cuisine of the Marche countryside.

We will enjoy our meal in the shade of the large meadow or under the shelter of the spacious greenhouse.

In the afternoon, we recommend visiting Jesi, a charming medieval town that, thanks to a series of fortunate circumstances, was the birthplace of Frederick II of Swabia!

day 5

Today marks the end of your stay in the Vallesina, but there are still adventures to be had before heading home!

You will visit the stunning Frasassi Caves, where you’ll be amazed by the incredible power of nature. You’ll walk to reach the Tempio del Valadier, a unique example of Neoclassical art nestled within the karst rock of the Sentino Gorge.

In the afternoon, you will head to nearby Fabriano to discover the city’s centuries-old papermaking tradition, renowned worldwide. You will have the opportunity to create your own sheet of handmade paper with the master papermaker—a special souvenir from this unforgettable visit.
