Itineraries

Small towns from the Middle Ages, fortified and still intact... with not  even one souvenir shop!
Visiting a wine cellar and tasting the Verdicchio di Jesi and the Rosso Marche wines, and then taking a walk between brick walls of the 1500’s. Discovering a small olive oil mill and savouring a mono-cultivation oil that tastes of true nature. Admire 15th century paintings in a small art gallery. Chat with friendly people who greet you in the street. Allow them to suggest a small trattoria for eating that you would never have found alone.
Lose yourself in the hilly landscape of infinite gentleness or go to the seaside on the Velvet Beach of Senigallia.
This is a vacation in Le Marche, by us at “Camera con Vista”, in Corinaldo, in the

                                       FRATTULA LANDS

 


 

The lands of Frattula stretch between the sea and the hills of Le Marche. Frattula Lands, a territory unpolluted by modern progress and presenting a rural landscape which gives testimony to an ancient farming community with roots dating back to medieval times.
It was during this period that the monks of Fonte Avellana worked the lands where, in contrast to the rest of Italy, prosperity and abundance reigned This was mainly due to a high degree of collaboration between the monks and the local peasants.
These past times have never been completely lost in the landscape and in the local traditions. Today they can be found on our tables, in typical products such as the wine, olive oil, cheese, honey and salami of Frattula.
These products, including bacon and ham, are all made using local natural farm produce.
Taste these delicacies, a constant symbol of authenticity that through time has never changed.

Wonderful walks await you on the green and luxuriant hills lightly touched by the sea breeze, dotted with majestic olive trees, lively vineyards and secular oaks. Walk along the banks of the River Cesano, in the parks and uncontaminated glades.
