Hotel Ardesia invites you to discover the Romagna hinterland
The extraordinary nature of the Romagna region is divided between a long, sandy coastline and a hinterland where rolling hills are crossed by rivers that flow through green valleys towards the sea.
It is precisely in this beautiful landscape of the Romagna hinterland that you can admire ancient villages and fortresses that conceal incomparable art, culture, and traditions. In particular, between Valmarecchia and Valconca, there are villages, fortresses, walls, towers, and panoramic balconies of incredible beauty.
In Valmarecchia, the villages of Saiano, San Leo, and San Marino are particularly charming, perched on rugged spurs overlooking clay hills, dense vegetation, and rugged rocky landscapes that are exciting and fascinating to behold.
Santarcangelo is notable for its Malatesta Fortress and splendid square, while Verucchio is home to the ancient Malatesta fountain and well. The Sanctuary of the Madonna in Saiano is particularly charming.
The Valconca extends towards Cattolica and includes some of the most interesting towns in terms of landscape and monuments, such as Morciano di Romagna and San Giovanni in Marignano with its nineteenth-century Teatro Massari, a source of pride for this area.
On the border with Pesaro, Montegridolfo is a charming medieval village with an intact structure, while Montefiore Conca, an ancient stronghold of the Malatesta family, is visible from the entire valley below. Gemmano is the “balcony of the Adriatic” within the enchanting Onferno Nature Reserve, while Montescudo boasts the valuable Museum of Rural Life.
The itinerary ends in Carpegna, at the foot of the mountain of the same name, where the Conca River originates.
For unforgettable excursions in the Romagna hinterland, the Albergo Ardesia is an excellent base, comfortable and relaxing, just a stone’s throw from the center of Rimini.
