For anyone wondering where to stay in Valfornace, a municipality in the Marche created on January 1, 2017 by the merger of Fiordimonte and Pievebovigliana, the options are mainly agriturismi (farm stays), country houses and B&Bs, spread between the village and the hamlets. Part of the area lies within the Sibillini National Park, in the Sibillini Mountains. The landscape is made of mid- and high-altitude hills: on one side the valleys open toward the Marche plain, on the other the first mountain pastures begin.

The municipality is about 40 km from Macerata and about 70 km from Ancona. Those staying here will find, in Pievebovigliana, the Museo civico "Raffaele Campelli", now closed because it was left unsafe by the 2016 earthquake, and, in San Maroto, the Romanesque church of San Giusto, as well as Lago di Boccafornace and Lago di Polverina. The pages on things to do in Valfornace and where to eat in Valfornace have the information to round out a stay.

Where to stay in Valfornace: the best areas

Pievebovigliana is the most convenient town for anyone looking for services and a base for sightseeing. About 600 m from the center, on via Rancia, is Sapori di Campagna, a family-run farm stay with a restaurant. It serves typical Marche dishes made with produce from the farm and has large outdoor spaces. The rooms are simply styled, with rustic arte povera furniture.

In the hamlet of Roccamaia is the agriturismo Roccamaia, which offers meals and rooms. Those who prefer the hills can look toward Pecciane, home to Il Poggio delle Armonie. It is a country house on the gentle slopes of a hill, inside the boundary of the Sibillini National Park.

Valfornace's accommodation also includes the B&B Antica Quercia, suited to those who prefer a more intimate stay.

Fiordimonte is a smaller rural village. It has part of the walls and a gateway of the old Castello di Cornacuna. The church of Sant'Antonio, built inside the fortifications, holds frescoes by Girolamo di Giovanni. For travelers in a camper van, there are two camper stops, in Fiordimonte and in Pievebovigliana, each with its own page.

Where to stay in Valfornace: map of the accommodation

The map shows where the accommodation lies in relation to the two historic centers and the hamlets. Before booking, it is worth checking the distance from Pievebovigliana, from San Maroto, home to the church of San Giusto, and from Fiordimonte. It also helps to decide whether to stay in the village or in the countryside, as in Pecciane or Roccamaia.

Besides the places already mentioned, the list includes Il Cardellino, La Vecchia Fonte and Camere / Rooms Rocca Paglia. Each one has its own page.

If nothing is available in Valfornace, nearby municipalities are an option. Muccia, Pieve Torina and Camerino are a few kilometers away.

Where to stay in Valfornace: how to choose

The choice depends first of all on the kind of stay. A farm stay with a restaurant is convenient for those who want to dine on site with local products. A country house or a B&B suits those looking for a quiet place who prefer to eat elsewhere. The camper area serves those traveling in their own vehicle.

The village of Pievebovigliana was hit hard by the 2016 earthquake. For this reason it is best to contact the property directly before booking and ask which services are running, such as meals and breakfast.

The area suits walkers: there is the Sentiero Natura di Valfornace, a nature trail on foot graded as tourist difficulty (T). It therefore makes sense to choose accommodation near a trailhead or a village. Before any hike it is good practice to check the weather.
