Contrada Paganelli, 37, Petritoli

The area sits in the inland hills of southern Marche between the lower Val d’Aso and Valtenna countryside, with a landscape of cultivated ridges, vineyards, olive groves and small historic villages. The nearest coast is the Adriatic around Pedaso and Porto San Giorgio, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The Sibillini Mountains are visible on clear days and the Monti Sibillini National Park lies farther inland, but not within the local radius. The nearest larger town is Fermo, which has the provincial services, schools, hospital and a substantial historic centre. Moresco, a small walled hill village, is nearby and is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. This part of the province is known for wine, olive oil and mixed agricultural hill country.
