Area Campagna

The Valdaso is one of the most captivating valleys in the Marche region, a land nestled between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennines, preserving the rural essence of the area. Following the course of the Aso River, this valley winds through gentle, cultivated hills, quaint historic towns, and lush nature that transforms with each season. The landscape here is characterized by rows of vineyards, wheat fields, orchards, and nurseries, which add vibrant colors to the countryside, making it one of the most fertile and productive regions in the Marche.

The villages scattered across the heights of Valdaso—such as Montelparo, Petritoli, Ortezzano, Monterinaldo, and Montalto delle Marche—are treasures of history and beauty, featuring medieval walls, terracotta squares, bell towers, and churches rich in sacred art. Strolling through their alleys feels like stepping back in time, immersing oneself in an authentic atmosphere that remains largely untouched by mass tourism. Throughout the year, festivals and traditional events bring the towns to life with music, flavors, and historical reenactments.

In less than half an hour by car, you can reach the Adriatic coast, with beaches in Pedaso, Cupra Marittima, and Porto San Giorgio, perfect for a day by the sea amidst well-equipped establishments and wilder stretches of shoreline. The Piceno coast also boasts beautiful seaside promenades and restaurants where you can savor fresh fish and local specialties.

Heading inland, the landscape gently rises towards the Sibillini Mountains, making the area ideal for hiking, forest walks, biking tours, and visits to natural parks. The proximity of both the sea and the mountains is one of the most appreciated features of this part of the Marche, allowing you to transition from a sunset swim to a walk among high pastures in just a few kilometers.

Valdaso is also an exceptional gastronomic destination: from typical fruits like peaches and apples to olives ascolane, from cheeses of the inland areas to cooked wine and vernaccia, each product tells a story of history and farming tradition. The local wineries and agriturismos offer tastings and moments of conviviality that enhance the journey with flavors and genuine encounters.

Those who choose to stay in Valdaso discover a rare balance between stunning landscapes, historical heritage, and quality of life, in a corner of the Marche that continues to impress with its authenticity and warm hospitality.
