Football

Ascoli are the nearest members of Serie A and its quite easy and cheap to buy tickets for fixtures against the big guns of italian football. The city and its stadium are 45minutes away. Tickets are available online at the Official Ascoli Football Club Website.

Golf

The nearest course is at Sirolo; which is an hour away, it is 6766 yards long and nestles in the hills of the Conero national park overlooking the sea. Weekday green fees of €40 - clubs can be hired. This is also a great wine producing area- so a trip to a Cantina for the 19th hole should be considered. For further information click here.
