Where to stay in Montegallo: the best areas

Balzo is the hamlet with the most accommodation and services. Here there are a campground and a few bed and breakfasts. The Centro polifunzionale (community center) of Balzo, in a temporary building, also houses the info point of Sibillini National Park, useful for asking about trails and visits before setting out.

More secluded is Abetito, home to B&B Il Castagneto dei Sibillini, a few kilometers from the center of Balzo. Those looking for lodging outside the main village can consider this hamlet.

Colle used to have the hiking refuge of the Grande Anello dei Sibillini, made unusable by the earthquake: according to the Park, the temporary facilities that replace it are at AgriMusicismo B&B&B, in the hamlet of Astorara, with a maximum of 14 beds. As the crow flies, Colle is about 7 km from Montemonaco and about 8 km from Arquata del Tronto, so it also suits those moving between neighboring towns.

Other bed and breakfasts are in smaller hamlets such as Castro and Astorara, but the area is large and it is best to check the exact location before booking.

Where to stay in Montegallo: how to choose

For hikers, the main reference point is Monte Vettore. Routes lead from Montegallo to Lago di Pilato, enclosed in a narrow glacial valley north of the summit of Vettore. The lake can only be reached on foot, with a demanding climb. For this kind of hike it is best to stay in one of the hamlets at the foot of the mountain, such as Balzo or Colle.

Those walking the Grande Anello dei Sibillini will find the temporary facilities that replace the refuge in Colle in Astorara: it is best to check availability before setting off. For a stay with more services in one place, Balzo has both the campground and the Park info point. Those traveling with a tent or RV can look at the campground in the same hamlet.

Some properties offer accommodation only, such as Casa delle Fate. In these cases meals need to be planned elsewhere: the list of places to eat is on the page Montegallo restaurants.

Before booking, it is best to contact the property directly to check availability, opening periods and services, especially in the off-season.
