The medieval village stands at about 690 m above sea level, facing the range of the Sibillini Mountains. It is called the Balcone dei Sibillini (Balcony of the Sibillini) because from the highest points of the historic center, especially the public garden of Colle Ascarano, the view stretches from the Sibillini to Monte Conero. The town holds the Orange Flag (Bandiera Arancione) of the Touring Club Italiano and is one of the Borghi più belli d'Italia (Most Beautiful Villages in Italy). When planning a stay, keep in mind the 2016 earthquake: the historic center, monuments and museums are only partly accessible.

Where to stay in San Ginesio: the best areas

The choice is between the historic center and the surrounding countryside. The municipality is very large, about 78 km², and includes many hamlets, among them Campanelle, Cerqueto, Collina, Vallimestre and Santa Maria in Altocielo. Distances from the village therefore vary a lot from one property to another.

The historic center is the area from which the sights can be reached on foot. It has kept almost all of its medieval layout and its 14th-century town walls. Near Porta Picena, at the entrance to the center, stands the Ospedale dei Pellegrini (Pilgrims' Hospital), dating from the Middle Ages. In the middle of Piazza Gentili is the statue of Alberico Gentili, a jurist born in San Ginesio in 1552. For a walking route through the village, see things to do in San Ginesio.

Est Locanda in San Ginesio is also among the town's places to stay: it is an affittacamere (guest rooms) in the historic center, with an apartment-suite rented as a whole.
