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).
The small ancient village of Castelbellino offers a welcoming atmosphere, where every stone has a memory, every street and every corner have a magical surprise.
Wander around the little-known cultural richnesses, drowning the sense of time in the ancient charm of powerful walls, severe portals, enchanting and colourful landscapes; be entranced by the profane delicacies like the smell of “vincisgrassi”, typical dish in the Marches, running away from the little windows carved into the walls or by the irresistible aroma of Verdicchio wine coming from the castle caves used as cellars.
When you join the village, park the car and go on foot to admire the panoramic views of Esino valley at the end of the multiple short lanes. Parallel to the main entrance road, a winding uphill street leads to Piazza San Marco: the old centre is made up of narrow streets, steep stairways and charming squares.
Admire the castle walls of the fifteenth century and take an exciting tour through the streets of the old town which retain all the charm of past years.
At the top of the castle, once crossed the ancient arch of Proferno way, have a sit in one of the benches in the garden for a fantastic view over the Esino valley. In Piazza San Marco, the Loggia Belvedere dating back to the Renaissance period was once used as a covered market and is today one of the most picturesque corners of Castelbellino: enjoy the pleasant view of the rolling hills overlapping each other to the sea.
