Villa delle Rose

In the small town of Amandola on the northeastern fringes of the Monti Sibillini National Park, this is a lovely five-bedroom hotel. A warm welcome and classically furnished rooms await at the elegant 1920s villa, which is set in its own garden at the top of the historic centre (follow signs to Hotel Paradiso).

Cooking lessons are offered in the kitchen and a laundry service is available to guests who arrive by bike.
