Casa Vittoria is located in the commune of Servigliano and overlooks the hill-top villages of Penne San Giovanni and Monte San Martino, one of the most beautiful in the region where the local church houses some of the best renaissance art from the Crivelli brothers. There are excellent places to eat a short drive from the villa and cafes serving delicious home made ice cream can be enjoyed in Servigliano and Santa Vittoria. The Siblillini mountains offer some of the best walking to be had in the country, ranging from strolls to see the amazing wild spring meadows with gentians, orchids to more challenging treks up valleys along shaded rivers or more robust clambers where you can stay at rufugios. Excellent day trips include, Lago Di Fiastra for swimming and boating or Grotte di Frasassi Caves. Assisi, Urbino, and Ascoli Piceno also make excellent day trips.
