Colmurano is characteristic of this wonderfully hilly area. Chosen by the ancient Romans as a place of rest, many archaeological places are still being discovered in nearby Urbisaglia. During the summer there are numerous artistic activities and culinary festivals (esp. the International Street Festival in July, contact owner for website link ). For those who enjoy genuine gastronomic flavours of the land, there are plenty of opportunities to try them with the numerous restaurants and trattorie, and the festivals of the surrounding towns and villages, and the cellars where the art of wine-making respects all the charisma and tradition of the grape harvest of old.
The location of the house allows you to plan cultural day trips. From Colmurano just 30 minutes by car will get you to the mountains (Sarnano- thermal baths and ski centre during winter), or to the sea (Civitanova - Conero Coast ). The Abbey of Fiastra (5 minutes away) lies in a Nature Reserve on the edge of a large forest (please, contact owner for more information) . At Urbisaglia (also 5 minutes) lies the Archaeological Park of Urbs Salvia, with its Roman ampitheatre, open theatre, temple and aqueduct. 20 minutes away is the beautiful city of Macerata, with its annual open air Opera festival (contact owner for link). Other places of interest: Caves of Frasassi, Recanati (birth city of G. Leopardi) Loreto, Camerino Caldarola, Assisi.
