If you enjoy lounging on a sun terrace, dipping in and out of an infinity pool and savouring gourmet cuisine whilst soaking up peaceful surroundings and beautiful scenery then Hotel Leone is the place for you. It’s all about the simple pleasures.
Situated in a historic palazzo within a medieval hilltop town in central Italy, Hotel Leone is a small privately owned boutique hotel offering luxurious accommodation, delicious food and friendly yet unobtrusive service. The rooms are a stylish blend of antique and contemporary furnishings, the pool and terrace look out over stunning countryside, and the gorgeous Le Marche region is bursting with culture-rich towns, national parks and hidden beaches waiting to be discovered. This is a lovely retreat for those who want to be indulged in a relaxed and informal way.
The hotel is located in Montelparo, a picturesque and authentic hilltop village full of history and character. Just a short stroll from the hotel you will find a couple of bars and a delicatessen, or you could follow one of the local walking trails and soak up the magnificent views of the coast and the Sibillini Mountains. The gorgeous Le Marche countryside, dotted liberally with art galleries, castles and churches, stretches out around you, and there are endless activities on offer, from wine tasting, truffle hunting, and cooking lessons to hiking, biking, horse riding and hot air ballooning. Don’t miss the legendary Frasassi Caves, the Basilica della Santa Casa in Loreto and the open-air theatre in Macerata.
