When you stay at "La Fattoria" you should not miss to undertake two
most famous excursions in our area.
Sanctuary of the Madonna dell'Ambro This is the oldest sanctuary dedicated to
Saint Mary in Le Marche Region. It was born around the year 1000 in
devotion to the Virgin Mary which performed (so the legend tells) a
miracle by giving back to a young Shepard woman - once deaf and dumb
- hearing and voice. This place of pilgrimage is situated 800 meters
above sea level, inside a gorge with the torrent named Ambro flowing
by. More than a hundred years the Cappuccini monks are taking care
of the sanctuary whose church is famous for its choir that can be
admired during the Holy Mass on Sundays, and on special occasions.
Apart from these proposed excursions, you can
experience more demanding walks and climbs, or by car, for instance
to the Lago di Pilato (Lake of Pilate), or to the Grotta della
Sibilla (Grotto of Sibilla).

Gola dell'Infernaccio
(Gorge of Hell) and San Leonardo of the Sibillini Mountains
The Infernaccio
is a complex of gorges that can be crossed by foot, and it is a true
sight of rocks and waterfalls, unique in its kind. Once the gorge,
is crossed, the visitor reaches on a comfortable path in mild
ascension the hermitage of Saint Leonard/San Leonardo. It is
inhabited by a monk who decided to fulfill his mission in
reconstructing the old church of San Leonardo, cross-road of
merchants and pilgrims.
