Sibillini Mountains Holiday Rentals: Chalets and Apartments

Anyone looking for a chalet or holiday rental in the Sibillini Mountains will find most options in the mountain villages on the Marche side. These include Bolognola, Ussita and the area around Lago di Fiastra. Chalets, holiday homes and apartments are spread across many municipalities of the National Park, in Marche and Umbria. The municipalities listed in the Park include Amandola, Arquata del Tronto, Bolognola, Campi, Castelluccio, Castelsantangelo sul Nera, Cessapalombo, Fiastra, Montefortino, Montegallo, Montemonaco, Norcia, Pieve Torina, Pievebovigliana, Preci, San Ginesio and Ussita.

The choice depends on what you want to do. For skiing it is best to stay near Bolognola or Ussita. For the lake and hikes on the Marche side, the Fiastra area is more convenient. For the Piana di Castelluccio, bear in mind that places are few. A comparison of all types of accommodation is on the page about where to stay in the Sibillini Mountains.

Monti Sibillini holiday rentals: the best areas

Bolognola is described as the highest municipality in the Marche. The ski area is at Pintura, with slopes between about 1,280 and 1,680 m altitude. Accommodation in the area includes a chalet with two bedrooms for six people, with a fireplace and parking. From Bolognola, Lago di Fiastra, the Cascate di Sarnano (Sarnano waterfalls) and the Lame Rosse are not far away.

Ussita and Frontignano form the other winter hub. Frontignano is a few kilometers from the village of Ussita, below Monte Bove. The slopes range from about 1,350 to 2,000 m altitude, but not all lifts are running: before leaving, it is wise to check which ones are open. Vacation apartments are also listed in Ussita. For ski stays there is the page on ski accommodation in the Sibillini.

Lago di Fiastra lies at the foot of the Sibillini. Fiastra has holiday homes and apartments, and above the lake there are also stone farmhouses with gardens. The page on where to stay near Lago di Fiastra lists the alternatives in the area.

Castelluccio, at about 1,450 m, is the reference point for the Piana and for the flowering of the lentil fields. Accommodation here is limited and in summer finding a place for the night can be difficult. The options are on the page about where to stay near Castelluccio (Norcia).

The other villages offer holiday rentals of various sizes. They are found in Amandola, Sarnano, Roccafluvione and Preci. Holiday homes are listed in Cessapalombo, Montegallo and Visso. Montefortino lies on the eastern side of the Park, at the foot of Monte Sibilla, and is a base for mountain biking and trekking.

Sibillini National Park holiday rentals: the map

The map shows where the properties are in relation to villages, ski areas and the lake. It is best read together with the areas described above. This makes it clear how far you will be from the places you want to visit and avoids unnecessary trips between one side of the Park and the other.

Sibillini Mountains holiday rental: how to choose

Check the status of the property. The 2016 earthquake damaged many of the Park's accommodation properties and some have not reopened. Before booking, it is wise to make sure the house is open and the access road is passable.

Check the season. For Bolognola and Frontignano in winter, chains or snow tires are needed. The opening of slopes and lifts depends on snow cover and may be partial: on some weekends, for example, only the beginner and family areas were open. Snow can fall even at the altitude of Lago di Fiastra. In summer, in Castelluccio, it is best to plan well ahead.

Consider the Quality Label. The Park Authority awards the Quality Label to accommodation it designates as "Esercizi Consigliati del Parco" (the Park's recommended businesses). It can be one more criterion when comparing several houses.

Think about the stages of the Grande Anello. Those walking the Grande Anello can rely on hiking huts restored by the Park, B&Bs, agriturismi and campsites. Between Visso and Montemonaco accommodation is generally easy to find. From Montemonaco onward it is harder. For the high-altitude stages, see mountain huts in the Sibillini.
