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.

Municipality

Castelbellino

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.

Itinerary

The route of the Black Crab

Distance: km 5

Time advised: 75 minutes to go up, 45 minutes to go down

Difficulty: easy

Explore the wet route of the Black Crab on foot or on the saddle of a mountain bike, starting from the museum of Castelplanio and going downhill along Caciampa Street until the ditch.

You can also leave your car in the square in front of the Church in Macine-Castelplanio, also called Castelplanio Stazione and follow Via Copparoni until you reach the entrance of the route.

The path is flat at first, but after 2 km it climbs up to Castelplanio and ends near the Town Hall Square (Palazzo Mancini).

Along the route, you can admire the river-wood located in the border area between Castelplanio and Rosora.

The vegetation boasts rare tree species such as the white alder, the narcissus and the wild orchid and you can also find butterbur and pennywort.

Fonte del Coppo, dating back to the XVIII century, is the first water supply in Castelpanio and the quality of the ditch’s waters have been better since 1995.

This small river with waterfalls and small lakes is the ideal spot to enjoy a strict contact with a natural world of profound beauty. Be careful: avoid it after rain!
