Holiday apartment in Belforte all'Isauro: Between the Foglia Valley and the hills

Belforte all'Isauro lies on the left bank of the Foglia River and is grouped around its medieval manor house. A ring of hills surrounds the town; at the same time, it is close to Monte Carpegna. This combination of river valley, hills and history gives your trip several possible focuses. When choosing a holiday apartment in Belforte all'Isauro, you can decide whether you want to discover culture, travel by bicycle or explore paths through the landscape.

Castello di Belforte all'Isauro and the history of the town

Castello di Belforte all'Isauro dominates the Foglia Valley. It was built in the late Middle Ages on a Lombard settlement from the 6th century AD and rebuilt by Francesco di Giorgio Martini on behalf of Duke Federico da Montefeltro. This means that several historical layers meet in one place: a settlement from the 6th century AD, the medieval structure and the rebuilding commissioned by the duke. Those interested in history can combine these traces with the surrounding landscape. Important for planning: Not all areas of the Castello are accessible to visitors with mobility impairments, as architectural barriers are present.
