Stay among the vineyards of Verdicchio and Lacrima

Belvedere Ostrense is one of the Lacrima di Morro d'Alba towns and overlooks the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi hills: two signature wines of the Marche, minutes from your apartment.

Wine country

Tastings without long drives

Lacrima di Morro d'Alba is a unique aromatic red, produced in very few towns, Belvedere Ostrense among them. Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi is one of Italy's great whites, able to age for years. Around the house are family wineries and historic estates that welcome visitors for tastings and tours.

Staying here means visiting two or three wineries a day with short drives, stopping for dinner at a village osteria and being back home in minutes.
