LaCasadiSonia_ Vacation Rental: Location in Smerillo

The villa is in the Ceresola area, in the municipality of Smerillo, in the province of Fermo. It is described as a country house surrounded by the Sibillini Mountains.

The village of Smerillo stands on a rocky ridge, at about 800 m above sea level, above the valley of the Tenna River. From here the view sweeps from the Gran Sasso to the Sibillini, from Monte Conero to the sea. That is why Smerillo is also called the "tetto delle Marche" (roof of the Marche).

The center of Smerillo preserves the remains of the castle walls and the medieval fortress of the ancient Castrum Smerilli. In the village there are the Romanesque church of Santa Caterina, which holds frescoes, and the parish church of Santi Pietro e Paolo. Before heading out, it is worth checking the churches' opening times.

In the hamlet of Val di Tenna there is a water mill from the 1700s on the Tenna River. Among the natural features is the "Fessa", a cleft in the sandstone rock rich in Pliocene fossils. Several trails are marked in the woods around the village, and Smerillo is also home to the CEA Bosco di Smerillo environmental education center and Lago di San Ruffino.

In summer the town has hosted the festival "Le parole della montagna" for years. Not far away is Amandola, in the Tenna Valley, considered the gateway to the eastern side of the Sibillini.
