Things to do:
Although nearby Castelraimondo (2,5 km from Casa Caruccia) has no tourist appeal, it lies close to a number of historical places, dating back to the Middle Ages. The beautiful university town of Camerino, located on the top of a hill and with its many recurring cultural events, is only 12 km away, and history-rich San Severino, Matelica and Fabriano are just half an hour away by car, whereas Visso is an hour away. Visso is one of the medieval jewels of southern Marche, little known because it's located off the beaten tourist track. If you like opera, Macerata houses the third most important opera house in Italy and lies only 40 Km. away. The attractive sea-side town of Porto Recanati, on the Adriatic coast, is 45 minutes away driving time. Excellent mountain bike trails and walks among alpine flora are available in the Monti Sibillini National Park, 80 Km. away. The well-known Frasassi Caves are 40 km away. Last, but not least, Assisi and Trasimeno Lake are 1,5 hours away.
Feng Shui: living in harmony with the surroundings:
The owner of Casa Caruccia - a farmhouse dating back to the early 18.th century - had it fully restored by a local architect in 1997-1998, using exclusively natural and local building materials and trying to apply the principles of Feng Shui architecture and home interior design. Feng Shui literally 'wind and water'), an ancient Chinese art dating back to the third century AD, embraces the idea of living in harmony with the environment.
The goal of Fen Shui is to encourage a natural flow of positive energy from the surroundings to the house.
Has it ever occurred to you to experience a positive feeling of well-being when you are in a building? The ancient Chinese called this feeling 'positive Feng Shui'.
