surroundings
Around us, the authenticity of the Marche
Staying at Palombarone Resort means immersing yourself in an area that doesn’t need to raise its voice to be remembered. The hills surrounding Matelica hold a rare balance: neat vineyards, clear light, harvested villages, and a wine culture that speaks of identity and belonging.
Palombarone is the place to leave and return to. After exploring, living and savoring, the quiet of the evening brings balance. The hills become softer, the light dims, silence takes center stage again.
Because the journey is not only what you discover outside, but also the feeling you bring in when you return.
MATELICA
Land of wine, history and precious silences
An area that preserves authentic traditions and a recognized wine culture, capable of telling its story elegantly, without excess.
Matelica is home to Verdicchio, unique in character and minerality, and visiting the local wineries becomes an experience that combines landscape and flavor. Tastings are not just food and wine moments, but true encounters with a tradition that has been passed down for generations.
GROTTE DI FRASASSI
The Underground Wonders
Among the most evocative experiences in the region, the Frasassi Caves offer a surprising natural spectacle.

A journey into the heart of the earth, capable of leaving words speechless.
TEMPIO DEL VALADIER
A sanctuary in the rock
Set inside a natural cave, the Temple of Valadier is one of the most fascinating places in the Marche.

A place where culture and identity intertwine with natural elegance.
