Vicolo Francioni, Carpegna

Monte Carpegna and the northern Apennines are within the immediate area. The Marecchia and Conca uplands define the surrounding landscape. The cluster lies by the boundary of the Sasso Simone e Simoncello Regional Park, a protected ridge-and-plateau area shared with northern Marche. The nearest ski area is Eremo di Monte Carpegna, about 10 km away by road, with short local lifts when seasons allow. The nearest larger centre is Novafeltria; farther out, Rimini provides the full range of services. San Leo, with its fortress on an isolated rock, is within the wider local area. This part of Montefeltro is known for wooded ridges, pasture, mushrooms and truffles, and small historic hill settlements.
