Exploring nearby and further afield
Sopra e Sotto is a wonderful place for anyone seeking peace, enjoying Italian culture and nature, or loving outdoor activities. We also offer other experiences, often together with local partners. Plenty of information is available at Sopra e Sotto for exploring on your own. What else is there to do?
Wine tasting
Our guests can join an authentic wine tasting with our neighbours at Casale Vitali. Begin with a tour of the cantina, then enjoy delicious wines and antipasti. We also know lovely local wineries you can visit yourself to taste and perhaps buy wine, such as Centanni in Montefiore dell’Aso and Fiorano in Offida, which produce beautiful organic wines.
Piscina & Pranzo
La Ginestra, less than ten minutes from Sopra e Sotto, offers a swimming and lunch arrangement especially for our guests, including campers. Popular in recent summers, it combines a few hours of swimming and relaxing by the pool with a delicious Italian lunch. We are happy to arrange it for you.
Olive oil tasting
With 10,000 olive trees, Oleificio La Gemina d’Or is the largest olive grove in Le Marche. You can see it from our terrace, and we take our olives there for pressing in autumn. For our guests, we organise a visit to the grove and mill with an explanation of the journey from picking to oil. Afterwards, enjoy tasting the delicious oils and homemade regional antipasti.
Tree-top adventure park
Quercus Park in Ripatransone is a fantastic place where young and old can follow supervised rope courses among the oak trees.
Places to swim
Enjoy a beach day on the Adriatic coast, with lovely sea, clean beaches and welcoming seaside towns such as Pedaso, Grottammare or San Benedetto del Tronto. Or head towards the mountains for a dip in a cool reservoir. Aquapark Onda Blu, around 80 km from Sopra e Sotto, has huge slides and offers a fun day out for the whole family.
Paragliding
At several places in Le Marche, you can take a tandem flight and see the beautiful surroundings from above. Our favourite spot is Castelluccio: soaring over the famous Piano Grande with the professional guidance of Prodelta. You can book your flight online in advance, which is wise during the busy summer months.
Outlet shopping
Italy is home to great fashion brands, and Le Marche is famous for handmade shoes, bags and accessories. Outlet shops are found especially along the coast, including a brand village with clothing and shoes from Prada, Botticelli and Tod’s. A morning or afternoon of shopping might bring you a lovely souvenir of your holiday.
