Nature in the Parco Naturale Interregionale del Sasso Simone e Simoncello

Frontino is located in the 4,791-hectare Parco Naturale Interregionale del Sasso Simone e Simoncello. The nature park extends across the provinces of Pesaro-Urbino and Rimini and includes the municipalities of Carpegna, Frontino, Montecopiolo, Pian di Meleto, Pennabilli and Pietrarubbia. This makes a large natural area the focus when choosing a location, giving Frontino its own distinctive landscape character.

The mountains of Monte Carpegna, Simoncello, Sasso Simone and Monte Palazzolo are also located around Frontino. The Museo di Informatica e Storia del Calcolo is likewise in the surrounding area.

Holiday Apartment in Frontino between Monastic History and Museums

The Convento di Montefiorentino is traditionally associated with its founder, Francis of Assisi, in 1213 and is considered one of the largest monasteries in the Marche. The Cappella dei Conti Oliva was built in this monastery in 1484; it is attributed to Francesco De Simone Ferrucci da Fiesole. Both details make the architectural complex interesting for travellers who would like to include historic architecture and art history in their stay.

The Monastero di San Girolamo was built in 1500. It comprises a church, a monastery, an altarpiece by Bernardino da Longiano, a fresco of the Last Supper in the refectory and the former monks' cells. These various elements provide another way of exploring the history of the region and complement the cultural focus around Frontino.

The wider regional area around Frontino is home to the Ancient weapons museum, the Governmant Museum and the Museo delle Curiosità - San Marino. Together with the Museo di Informatica e Storia del Calcolo, they offer a broad range of museum topics that extends beyond individual periods and areas of interest. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore consider whether historic buildings, museums or the natural landscape should be the focus of your days.
