View over Ascoli Piceno from the Sacro Cuore hill
Ascoli Piceno · on the walking trails of the Marche

Rifugio Collina
del Sacro Cuore

A place to pause, on the hill that looks over Ascoli.

Welcome

Slow travellers find a home here

There is a hill above Ascoli from which the travertine city seems to rest among the mountains. Here, where walkers and cyclists pass by, we have opened our home to those who walk, ride and take their time.

Who it's for

A refuge designed around your journey

01

Slow travellers

Discover Ascoli at your own pace: the Quintana, the famous olive ascolane, stone squares and the villages of the Piceno hills.

02

Cycle tourists

Secure covered storage for bikes, e-bikes and motorbikes; rental and rides with local guides on request. Ready to set off at first light.

03

Walkers

On the Cammino Francescano della Marca and the Cammino dei Cappuccini. A real bed, a hot shower and silence after a long day on the trail.

The apartment

A loft all to yourself, above Ascoli

A welcoming loft on the third and top floor of a quiet residential building, entirely yours. Access via the shared staircase guarantees full privacy: the whole apartment — bedroom, fully equipped kitchen and private bathroom — is at your complete disposal.

The elevated position is our little luxury. A 10-15 minute walk takes you into the heart of Ascoli, among the travertine squares, with Piazza del Popolo and the Roman bridge practically below the house. On the way back, a gentle climb leaves the bustle behind and rewards you with the quiet and the view that make this place special. Between nature and the historic centre, without having to choose.

The crown jewel is the large shared terrace: from here your gaze runs across the rooftops of the old town, the perfect spot for a sunset aperitivo or an open-air breakfast while the city changes colour. Inside, simple, well-kept spaces designed for real rest — ideal for a couple or a small family, with a cot or toddler bed available on request.

Whether you come to Ascoli for a getaway for two, a holiday of art and food, or to explore the nature of the Marche, here you have an authentic, private base. We welcome you in person at check-in; if you prefer more independence, self check-in is available. We live nearby and are always happy to suggest a restaurant, a route or a tailor-made itinerary — always respecting your time.

Where the day ends

In the evening, from the terrace, the old town of Ascoli lights up and the travertine changes colour. It is the moment that makes you want to stay one more day.
