Enjoy Monte Porzio and Castelvecchio, two medieval towns that are located in the Censano Valley. From here, the road SP424 leads to the fine sandy beaches of the coast. Certainly they will also have the opportunity to visit the Conero Natural Reserve, which is about 1 hour away.
The two medieval villages are located very close together, forming a small community. There are about 3000 inhabitants, mainly living there for the fruit and wine production, as well as for the animal breeding. In the 18th century, this municipality was known for the production of shears. In the course of time the production of shear was replaced by small workshops with furniture manufacturing.
Monte Porzio is a very quiet community, which is only comes lively due to the fruit and vegetable markets. Castelvecchio is older than Monte Porzio and is still surrounded by the medieval city wall. Apart from Villa La Palombara, a there is a small grocery store and 2 restaurants, there are no other public points. Other restaurants can be found in the valley along the main road.
It is lovely to enjoy the beautiful and picturesque landscapes of Monte Porzio and Castelvecchio. It is a pleasure for your eyes, especially in spring and summer, the colors are particularly lively and bright. These landscapes are the trademark of for Le Marche and for photographers a real paradise. In this part of Italy, the price level in relation to gastronomy is very favorable.
