Description for B&B:

Ascoli and its Surroundings

The city center is a 10 minute walk from the B&B, either along the road or down the 400 steps that pass through the Parco dell’Annunziata (Annunciation Park).
By car, it is a 3 minute drive to the Torricella covered parking lot, which is very close to Piazza Arringo and charges only .60 euro an hour.

Ascoli Piceno is surrounded by beautiful countryside and medieval villages. There are seasonal food festivals and ample options for excursions throughout the year. You can ski nearby at Montagna dei Fiori and Forca Canapine, swim in the nearby Castellano river or enjoy the wide sandy beaches of the Adriatic coast at Grottammare, San Benedetto or Martinsicuro.
