Acquaviva Picena Holidays from £341

Rooms were tiny. We paid extra for a larger room. I would hate to have seen the smaller one. Staff were excellent. Lots of building work going on so very noisy. Restaurant not open. Very few restaurants nearby were open. Would have been nice to be warned

Great place with great ocean view! You will like it.

We drove in late in the evening and was delighted to wake up to a tasty breakfast buffet and the stunning location in the hills. It was a very spacious room with modern amenities.

I joined my wife in Italy. She had been in Matelica for two weeks and needed to stay one additional week. Since I did not have business in Matelica we decided that we would find a place outside of the town where I could relax. Based on reviews we selected Borgo Lanciano. The property is large and very well kept. The room was spacious and overlooked the outdoor pool with a view toward the hills. Perhaps it was because the season had not yet begun, but the hotel was empty. We would breakfast, which was included, in a lovely dining room and then I drove my wife into Matelica, a 15 minute drive. After dropping her off I returned to Borgo Lanciano where depending on the weather I either would spend time sitting by the indoor pool, the outdoor pool, ot a large, well appointed sala relax (a large sitting area with many easy chairs and sofas). There was a restaurant at which we ate on one occasion though it did not really cater to my wife's tastes; she is a vegetarian. There also is a spa which offers massages, facials and the like.

Small Old Hotel across the street from the Ancona train station in the centre of the city . Parking at this hotel is a challenge as there are a limited number of the street parking at 2 euros /24 h but one has to wait long to find available space.
