Via dei Faeti, 7, Urbino

The area sits in the inland hills of Montefeltro, with a folded landscape of ridges, small valleys and cultivated slopes. Urbino itself is a Renaissance hill town with the Palazzo Ducale, the cathedral and a large preserved historic centre, and its centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Within the same hill area are other historic centres tied to Montefeltro, including Urbania and Fermignano on the Metauro system. The nearest stretch of Adriatic coast is around Pesaro and Fano, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area is known for the court of Federico da Montefeltro, Renaissance urban history, and the University of Urbino.
