Ascoli Piceno seen from the Sacro Cuore hill, the town where the Cammino dei Cappuccini ends
For walkers and cyclists

The finish line of the Cammino dei Cappuccini

Some 400 kilometres across Le Marche. Your last night deserves more than a bunk.

The walk

From Fossombrone to Ascoli, all the way

The Cammino dei Cappuccini crosses Le Marche from north to south, friary after friary, and closes in Ascoli Piceno. Our place sits on the Sacro Cuore hill, at the northern entrance to town: the last night of the walk — or the first, if you are heading the other way — with the travertine city spread out below you.

The last night, done properly

A whole apartment rather than a dormitory: what you actually want after weeks on the road.

Rest

A real bed, in silence

A double bedroom in an apartment that is entirely yours, on the top floor of a quiet building on the hill. No shared room, no curfew: just the deep sleep of someone who has arrived.

Getting back in shape

Hot shower and washing machine

Private bathroom, hot water whenever you want it, washing machine and iron included: your pack goes home clean.

The finisher's toast

A terrace over the city

From the shared terrace your eye runs across the rooftops of the old town: the right place for the end-of-walk toast, while Ascoli lights up at sunset.

Your own timings

Self check-in and your credential

Arrive whenever you arrive: self check-in and self check-out. For the credential stamp and advice on the final stage, message us any time.

The location

On the hill, at the entrance to Ascoli

Via Monte Ascensione 9, Ascoli Piceno: on the trails of the Cammini delle Marche, with the historic centre just below.

Right below

The Roman Bridge and the centre

From the refuge you walk down to the Solestà quarter and cross the Roman Bridge in a few minutes: from there you are among the travertine squares, Piazza del Popolo and the Cathedral of Sant'Emidio. On the way back, a gentle climb returns you to the quiet.

Where to stay in Ascoli
The day after

Ascoli, slowly

Give yourself a day as a slow traveller: the two squares, the Rue, Forte Malatesta, the fried stuffed olives and an anisetta at Caffè Meletti. And if your legs still want the trail, the Hermitage of San Marco among the chestnut woods is a short, beautiful walk.
