Parva Domus is found in an airy and panoramic position, just half a kilometre away from the village of Montecarotto. The agriturismo, converted from an original farmhouse, consists of three independent units, ideal accomodation for families or groups. Despite being located in the quietness of the country, the village is within easy access.
The apartments (2 two-room apartments and 1 three room apartment) have been restored wiyh special care to details(decorative beams, fired-brick and wooden floors and the wel preserved furniture of the family and of the rural tradition)
For open air relaxation, every apartment is provided with its own pergola and garden. The swimming pool is on a natural terrace perfect of sunbathing.
The central location of the agriturismo makes it a comfortable starting point for any tour around the region (Riviera del Conero, Frasassi caves, centers of artistic interest like Jesi and its Castles, Fabriano, Urbino and many other charming villages).
Maiolati stands on a hill 412 meters above sea level.
It dates back to the Midddle Ages, like the other castles of the middle valley of the River Esino.
In the thirteenth century Maiolati and Villa Talliano, situated in the middle of the hill that slopes into the River Esino, were two small villages located at a short distance from one another.
Thanks to its position, Maiolati became soon a castrum; it was part of the County of Jesi from the first decades of the thirteenth century until its dissolution in 1808. Like many other villas in Vallesina, Villa Talliano was built after the eleventh century as an extension of a curtis, that is a complex of dispersed landed properties. It belonged to the bishop of Jesi and was contended from Jesi in 1262 which then acquired all rights.
Not far away, take a gander inside the church of Saint Sisto of Talliano with the attached cloister.
The church and monastery were probably founded by the monks coming from St. Elena Abbey; in fact they both belonged to it in 1199.
In 1305 they both suffered severe damages because of the struggle between Jesi and the inhabitants of Fabriano.
The church of St. Sisto now standing in place of the monastery was probably rebuilt in the XVIII-XIX centuries. Visit the remains from Neolithic and Roman ages found in this area, more exactly in Massarella Street on the east side of Maiolati.
In the period from the seventh to the ninth century, the whole ridge was the border area between the Longobard Duchy of Spoleto and Camerino and the Byzantine Pentapolis. Many of the “loci dominus” have a Longobard origin and they were later put to the head of the fortified villages and castles.
One of the most stunning natural and environmental gems in Ancona!
Located between Poggio San Marcello and Montecarotto where the stream Fossato meets its tributary forming a Y.
This natural paradise houses an ancient oil mill, wonderful waterfalls, a bush with a great variety of trees and lianas which inspire visitors with spirit of adventure.
CIS and the province of Ancona have financed the project to restore the Park whose works began in September 2004 and ended in August 2006.
Montecarotto is planning the arrangement of the road to allow a more comfortable access to the Park.
Trabocco will be easiy reached through two roads: the first one from Montecarotto and the second one from Poggio San Marcello. The old oil mill must be restored, too!
But the next natural engineering works together with a massive plantation will allow Trabocco to become a safer and charming park ! …… Not only for the locals!
