Amandola B&B Guide

Amandola B&B Guide: Center, Countryside and Mountain Hamlets

Those looking for an Amandola B&B can choose between three settings: the historic center, the countryside around the town and the high hamlets at the foot of Monte Amandola. The town spreads over three hills, skirted by the Tenna river and the Bora stream. Its heart is Piazza Risorgimento, overlooked by the Palazzo Comunale (town hall) and the Sanctuary of Beato Antonio. The center is entered through Porta San Giacomo, the only one left of the five original gates.

Amandola is considered the eastern gateway to the Sibillini National Park in the Sibillini Mountains. The options include countryside B&Bs with a pool and a mountain hut with rooms and breakfast. For guest rooms, agriturismi and vacation rentals, there is the page on where to stay in Amandola.

Amandola B&Bs: the best areas

Historic center. Staying in the old town puts Piazza Risorgimento, the lanes and the viewpoint over the Sibillini Mountains, where the Torrione del Podestà stands, within walking distance. The route is all ups and downs, which is worth bearing in mind with heavy luggage or with people who have difficulty walking.

Countryside around the town. A few minutes from Amandola, at the foot of the Sibillini, is La Mela Rosa, a restored stone farmhouse with a garden and pool, surrounded by fields and hills. More isolated is B&B Casa Friano, in the Friano area, on a green hill a few kilometers from the town. It has four rooms; for services, it is best to ask the owners.

High hamlets. The Rifugio Garulla G.A.S is in Garulla Superiore, at the foot of Monte Amandola, and is a stage of the Grande Anello dei Sibillini. It offers rooms with breakfast. It is a few kilometers from the center of Amandola and easy to reach by car. In winter the common room with its fireplace is the gathering place. The Amandola Nature Trail starts from the hut, a loop that takes about three hours. Hikes and mountain bike rides also start here toward the Campolungo plain, the springs of the Ambro, Monte Castel Manardo and Pizzo Tre Vescovi.

Map of B&Bs in Amandola

The map shows where each property is in relation to the historic center and the hamlets. The municipal territory is large, about 69.5 km², and includes many hamlets, among them Garulla Superiore, Garulla Inferiore, Marnacchia and San Ruffino. So two addresses bearing the town's name can be several kilometers from the village.

Before booking, it is best to check the location on the map and compare it with the planned stages. Properties in the hamlets are convenient for the trails but require a car to reach the town.

How to choose a B&B in Amandola

The first question is how you will get around. The historic center can be explored on foot, while La Mela Rosa, Casa Friano and the Rifugio Garulla are in the countryside or at altitude and are reached by car. La Mela Rosa has private parking.

The second concerns the time of year. The Rifugio Garulla, with the fireplace in its common room, also works in the cold months. Those arriving from Pintura di Bolognola along the dirt road, however, should check whether it is passable in winter.

Hikers following the Grande Anello dei Sibillini will find the hut more practical, as it is a stage of the route. Those who want a base for visiting the village and its churches can choose the historic center. Those seeking quiet and views over the hills may prefer the countryside B&Bs.

Before booking, it is worth checking what is included: at properties with a kitchen available, meal planning changes a lot. The full list of other options is on the page on where to stay in Amandola.
