Just a 15-minute drive from the house, you'll find the village of Belforte di Chienti, where time seems to stand still. This medieval village, with its cobbled streets, old stone houses, and the impressive Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista, exudes the atmosphere of an authentic Italian village.

The square in front of the church is the beating heart of Belforte di Chienti, a place where you can see locals strolling, hear the church bells ringing and admire the beautiful views over the surrounding hills of Le Marche.

The village offers the perfect setting for a peaceful and relaxing stroll, where the charm of the past blends seamlessly with the region's natural beauty. From here, you can stroll along the picturesque alleyways or enjoy the expansive views of the Sibillini Mountains.

A visit to this village is perfect for combining with lunch or dinner at La Botte Piena, a restaurant serving the flavors of Le Marche. Situated on the main square, overlooking the church, La Botte Piena offers a charming terrace where you can savor local dishes and wines.

The menu is a true feast for your taste buds, with dishes like Baccala al forno, homemade Gnocchi al ragu, and the delicious local pecorino. The dishes are perfectly complemented by the finest regional wines: a crisp Verdicchio or a robust Montepulciano, which beautifully enhance the flavors of the dishes.
