Sitting outiside in the morning with a cup of coffee taking in the views was my favorite. It was absolutely a time to un-stress. We went sightseeing around the neighbourhood, walks around SantAngelo and all the other beautiful towns nearby (Falerone, San Ginesio, Urbi Saglia, Tolentino etc.) and of course enjoyed eating at the local restaurants: The Martyns Belgium.April 2009 This little piece of paradise is hard to leave.
