The SURROUNDINGS
Italy, land of poets and travellers, of unrepeatable and breath-taking scenic beauty, offers rich and memorable journeys within a culture as yet little known to the world outside. Places of great historical and artístic interest can be reached in half an hour by car from the lodge: This holiday provides incredible outdoor experiences: Sarnano, a perfectly restored little town that sits on a hill and is built in a spiral fashion around it. Amandola a town noted for its antique tradition of ebony furniture and marquetry artistry. Caldarola with its castles and Serrapetrona farmous for its "la Vernaccia" red champagne vineyards. Further North we find San Severino famous for its elliptic square, its palaces and mansions and its summer festivals. The Roman ruins of the antique town of Urbisaglia are worth visiting along the road to Macerata. They include a magnificent amphitheatre which, during the summer months, stages a Greco-Roman theatre festival. Vísiting Macerata could satisfy an interest in the melodramatic. The Sferisterio can be found there, the second Italian arena after Verona. Near to the Conero National Park coastline is Recanati, where Giacomo Leopardi was born and only one hour in the car from the Casa Matta you can find the great beaches of- the Adriatic Coast. All in all this is the perfect house to rent for sightseeing and visiting wonderful historic Italian towns.
