The house with three apartments is at the heart of the historic old town, in a row of houses with independant entrance, on the (almost) car-free Piazza IV Novembre, by the inhabitants affectionately called La Piazzetta.
With enthusiasm I jumped into this project and renovate gently and lovingly the old simple flats. I made sure to use organic materials. In one part of the rooms are still the old furniture, as I found them. The rooms are large, the ceilings are supported by powerful beams. Old stone floors are still present to some extent. From the top apartment is a view over the rooftops, over the rolling hills to the sea or to the mountains.
The lowest and smallest apartment consists of a living room with a kitchenette, a bedroom with a double and a single bed and a small bathroom.
Cupramontana is a very lively town. On warm evenings, the residents move their living room unceremoniously out on the Piazzetta. So you will quickly contact if you want. It also held events and the Orieta restaurant occupies part of the Piazzetta. In the center, there are also some bars, bakeries and shops for daily needs. Monday's weekly market. Here you can find everything cheap, whatever your heart desires.
The central location in the Marche, makes Cupramontana the ideal starting point for all kinds of excursions and activities. Sports, nature, culture, and of course not forgetting the local delicacies.
Emperor Frederick II spent his childhood here!
A legend claims that Monte Roberto derives its name from Roberto il Guiscardo (1015-1085), while an historical document of 1079 reports that Roberto was probably a Longobard feudal layman, a "lord of the place”.
Monte Roberto became a real castle only in the course of the thirteenth century.
Visit the ancient Planina ,mentioned by Pliny the Elder, near St. Apollinare Abbey. Important ruins were visible up to the XVIII and XIX centuries: in 1881 a necropolis Piceno (VI century BC) was found in Noceto district and the remains which were then brought to light are now kept in the National Archaeological Museum of Ancona. Do not miss them!
In 1219 Monte Roberto was already part of the County of Jesi until its split in 1808.
Have a walk along G. Leopoardi Street, then the “Borgo”, the historical centre which developed in the XVII and XVIII centuries.
Downstream from Monte Roberto, you can visit Pianello Vallesina which had a remarkable increase in the last sixty years. It is partly divided with the municipality of Castelbellino and it initially grew around the church of Santa Maria del Trivio dating from the XVII century.
Do not forget to visit the church of St. Benedict built in 1921 – 1925.

Starting from the parking in front of the cellar Colonnara and following the signs indicating the historic centre, take the road that leads to Staffolo until you reach the junction called Pian della Casa. Then turn to the right for Apiro. Once arrived in Apiro, head to Piani di Apiro; near the pool, follow the road down the hill that borders the pine forest . Continue until you cross the white road; turn right and shortly after, again on the right side of the church, take the white road downhill through the woods (dangerous descent, be careful!).
After a series of ups and downs through woodland, turn left for the tarmac road that leads to the source of Crevalcuore. Follow the tarmac road for about 2 km, turn left at the junction and go uphill on the white road until you reach Valcarecce. Having passed the hamlet, turn right; continue along the white road over a series of ups and downs and at the junction of the hamlet called Ca de Berti, take the road on the left which soon after reaches the Church of Colognola. At the next intersection with a large metal Crucifix, turn right and follow the main road downhill. From the stream Acqualta take the road to Staffolo and proceed downhill to San Paolo. Near the war memorial of San Paolo, take the tarmac road to the source of Barbanera and turn right onto the dirt road leading to the ditch of Follonica. Having crossed the first bridge, turn right for the second bridge where the steep path climbs up to San Michele.
Having passed the Church of San Michele, take the white road on the left following the sign indicating Contrada Colonnara. After about 600 metres, turn right at the junction and start climbing calmly because there is a difference in height of about 200 metres with a sixteen per cent gradient.
At the end of the climb marked by the “Stop”,follow the signs indicating “Conad” and you easily reach the point of departure.
