As Roverella is in the heart of the Le Marche countryside, you can be exploring the idyllic landscapes in moments. If you're feeling active and want to soak up the rural atmosphere, you can enjoy a 40-minute walk to the nearest village. Otherwise, it's just over a five-minute drive away. This traditional village is home to a restaurant, some bars, a couple of museums and lots of old buildings to admire.
The coast is just over a 30-minute drive away from the villa, so it's also easy to head out for a day by the sea. The beach at Porto San Giorgio boasts many restaurants, the sand is beautifully golden and the water ideal for swimming. Other great beaches can be enjoyed at Cupra Marittima and San Benedetto del Tronto.
For history fixes, visit the cities of Ascoli Piceno and Macerata. Both are bursting with old buildings, many of which date back to the Renaissance era. One of the main sites to tick off your sightseeing list in Ascoli Piceno is Piazza del Popolo, which is also home to 13th-century Palazzo dei Capitani del Popolo. Macerata's cobbled streets are lined with fascinating structures, such as 18th-century Palazzo Buonaccorsi, which is now the city's civic museum. It's generally most famous for the annual Opera Festival that’s held every summer in an impressive open-air amphitheatre.
The Sibillini Mountains and Monti Sibillini National Park are the best places to go if you're looking for some adventure. You can follow exciting hiking and cycling trails to get truly breathtaking views over the area, as well as spot a variety of flora and fauna.
