Small charming villages in mountainous Marche?

by Trekki Online Now Jan 15, 2012 at 2:50 AM

Sadly our own travel guides are very much beach oriented when it comes to Marche. I am looking for some accommodation and charming towns in southern Marche, provinces of Macerata, Fermo and Ascoli to be precise. I want to combine this with Abruzzo early July, approx. 1 week alltogether. With car. I have stayed briefly in the region and found a charming agriturismo, but this was too far in the north for what I am planning now. I want to do some hiking and visit some hermitages/eremi. Precisely one near San Severiono Marche (Sant'Eutizio) and the other near Sarano (and Amandola and San Ginesio). So I am looking for your suggestions of charming towns and charming accommodation. I don't like the luxury ones, which is not a question of money but a lack in "rural charm", as I would say :-) Thanks in advance :-) Ingrid

    Oh thanks Corra!! No I haven't been there yet. Last year in May I was in San Ginesio, Abbazia di Fiastra, and finally at this cute agriturismo at Lago Cingoli. When I came home I realsed that Gola del Fiastrone and Gola dell'Infernaccio were so close (I came from Preci, Visso and Santuario di Macereto), that I wanted to visit these during my next trip. Offida looks wonderful! Excellent website too! Palazzo Comunale and the piazza reminds me a bit of Montefalco. Yes, I will add it to my list :-) Thank you!! Did you see my similar question about Abruzzo? There I wanted to hike in Gola Salinello and see Eremo San Francesco and Grotta Sant'Angelo. And some other eremi a bit more south.
