Eating and drinking Le Marche is a pioneering region in organic farming. And you can see, feel and taste the difference in the local shops and restaurants. Around the coast, you’ll find excellent seafood and brodetto (fish soup), with each area offering its own delicious variant on the ingredients. Inland there are other delights. This is truffle country, and they have been part of the culture for the past 300 years. Every type is found in the area, so local restaurants serve seasonal truffle dishes all year long. Le Marche is home to the famous white wine Verdicchio. There are currently 11 DOC areas in Le Marche (this denotes a regulated wine of a high standard, so watch out for the label). We like the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, an elegant dry white, and Rosso Conero Riserva Grosso Adontano 2002, a ruby red with hints of black cherry and plum that goes well with red meat and hard cheeses.

Outdoor activities After all that indulgence, you’ll want some exercise. Hike on the Grande Anello dei Sibillini, or — more gently — through the Gothic Gola dell’Infernaccio, or Hell’s Throat, a twisting limestone gorge. The water park at Cingoli is great for a family day out. There is also skiing in the Sibillini's in the winter months. There are some great walks in the local area and winding your way through the country lanes near Casa Benessere is a joy. We also have four moutain bikes with helmets at the property for your use. The rolling hills and the lake at Cingoli also make for excellent traithlon training.

Skiing Information: There is skiing 45 minutes away in the Sibillini Mountains.

Golf Information: There is a golf course 30 minutes drive in the grounds of the Abbey of Fiastra and a course in Monte Conero (50 mins).
