Located 450 mtr above sea level, in the heart of the Marche countryside, the Bed and Breakfast Aromantica is a recently renovated stone house from 1800, in a rustic style.
The house is in an excellent panoramic position at the foot of the Apennines. From here you can admire the sweet profiles of the hills where small forests, vineyards and olive trees make the extraordinary variety of the landscape. Here, when the air is clear, you can also admire the rugged mountainous profile of the Sibillini mountains.

The house is ideal for a peaceful holiday and taste for ancient flavors that characterize this land.
In total relaxation you can enjoy the garden, the veranda and barbecue.
For those who love sports in contact with nature, there are countless opportunities for mountain biking, hiking, fishing at the lake, and climbing in the nearby Gorge red and Frasassi. There is something for all tastes .. and then there is nothing left to wish you a lot of fun!

Municipality

Monte Roberto

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A legend claims that Monte Roberto derives its name from Roberto il Guiscardo (1015-1085), while an historical document of 1079 reports that Roberto was probably a Longobard feudal layman, a "lord of the place”.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.
