Tenuta is in the heart of Le Marche. Due to its position
at the meeting point of the three provinces, Ascoli, Macerata
and Fermo, it is within easy reach of many centres of artistic
and culture interest. |
| |
Ascoli Piceno is approximately
an hour from Tenuta (little more than 40km). It is a one
of Italy's most interesting cities both artistically and
architecturally. The historical center is constructed in
travertine, and the city abounds in buildings and churches
of the medieval and renaissance periods
|
| |
Macerata
(50km away) dates back to medieval times and has maintained
many of its ancient buildings. The most famous of these is
the Sferisterio, a nineteenth century construction originally
intended for as a sports arena, now an open air amphitheatre
with a concert programme of international level. |
|
Fermo (45km), capital of the recently established
province of Fermo, has a well preserved medieval historical
centre, alongside a modern city. |
|
|
Other historical centres of interest are Tolentino (40km),
birth place of Saint Nicholas and home of the Museum of
Cartoons and Caricature. |
|
| |
Recanati (70 km) is famous as the home
and inspiration of the poet Giacomo Leopardi, where one
can still visit the house where he was born.
|
| |
Camerino
(45 km) is a small univeristy town rich in artistic treasures. |
| In
the summer guests at Tenuta can enjoy the “green Riviera
of the Picena”, the beautifully appointed beaches that
line the Adriatic. |
| |
The
nearest are Porto San Giorgio and Pedaso, approximately 50km
away, accessed by the state roads 210 and 433. Porto San Giorgio
has the added advantage of being a Blue Ribbon beach, which
recognises not only the healthy condition of the sea but also
acknowledges the attention to the local environment and the
development of sustainable tourist facilities. |
| Less
than 80km away is the town of San Benedetto del Tronto, the
most important of the towns along the Marche Riviera, with
its fabulous “Riviera of Palms”.. |
