Events · All year round
Music festivals, opera, food fairs, medieval pageants, open wineries: the Marche has a packed calendar all year. From Belvedere Ostrense you reach the most famous events quickly, and in the evening you return to a quiet village.
Event tourism
During major events city rooms sell out fast and prices go up. Staying in Belvedere Ostrense, in the hills, means an entire apartment with free parking 20 minutes from Senigallia and Jesi, and sleeping away from the crowds.
Here are the most popular events nearby. Dates change every year: always check the official websites before booking.
The calendar
