Sarnano - One of the most beautiful towns in Italy
The bustling and perfectly preserved medieval town of Sarnano, named one of the most beautiful in Italy, is only 2km away from our Le Marche Villa.
Sarnano has a wealth of character in the ancient, cobbled streets that wind up through wonderfully restored piazzas, churches, dwellings and the impressive towers that dominate the amazing local landscape.
The history of Sarnano dates back to pagan and Roman times and is home to a theatre, museums, rennaissance art, a spa resort, many restaurants, bars, many summer festas, some great shops, bars and a helpful tourist office.
Kick back & relax in Sarnano on your holiday in a Marche Villa
Villa San Raffaello and Sarnano is an ideal base for outdoor activity, like parascending or climbing, for exploring the Sibillini mountains or, the Monti Azzurri, the smaller foothills that surround the villa, on a walking or cycling holiday.
It's ideal for sightseeing and touring the medieval towns in the surrounding Le Marche countryside and for visiting the beaches of the Adriatic Riviera beyond. Alternatively, simply kick back and enjoy the local art and history, and the fantastic food and wine on offer at the numerous local bars, shops, ristorante and delicatessens. For night owls theres even a late music pub "Sticky Fingers" and a nightclub "L'ex" that plays Jazz until midnight and then something more funky for hunters, farmers and clubbers.
