Holiday apartment in San Paolo Di Jesi – History, Wine and Landscape

Holiday apartment in San Paolo Di Jesi amid wine, history and landscape

San Paolo Di Jesi lies at an altitude of 224 metres and overlooks the valley to the right of the Esino River. At the same time, the town is closely connected with the production of Verdicchio wine. This gives you a clear combination of altitude, wine and local history, which can provide practical guidance when choosing a holiday apartment in San Paolo Di Jesi.

Architectural heritage and traditional history

The Torre Civica was built at the end of the 18th century and is attributed to the architect Mattia Capponi from Cupramontana. The Palazzo Bassi provides a different architectural accent: its western façade consists of stone and masonry and features mascarons and capitals. Both buildings contribute different historical and design details to the townscape.

In the Chiesa della Misericordia, also known as the Chiesa del cimitero, remnants of a fresco attributed to Andrea da Jesi can be seen. It depicts the Madonna sheltering the people of San Paolo beneath her mantle. The Cavata delle zitelle also leads into the history of the town: its tradition dates back to 1702; every year on 8 December, a dowry was awarded by drawing lots. During a historical reenactment, young women in historical clothing walked through the town's streets.

Discover a special landscape formation on foot

An unusual landscape feature is the Vulcanelli di Fango. They form when gas-driven mud emerges from the ground and arranges itself in a greatly reduced cone shape with a crater. The Vulcanelli di Fango can be reached on foot after crossing cultivated land. This gives the landscape its own distinctive focus alongside the stone façades and ecclesiastical heritage.

Wine and local festival traditions

In addition to Verdicchio, the local wine scene includes the Visciola wine festival, held in October. As part of the Festa del Vi' de Visciola, free tours of the most important wineries in San Paolo di Jesi that produce Vino di Visciole are offered on Saturdays and Sundays. When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can therefore tailor your stay to your personal interest in wine, architectural heritage or landscape.

The Anfiteatro Comunale

The Anfiteatro Comunale provides culture in the open air. It is a summer arena with 200 seats, a tribune in the form of a cavea and a wooden stage. It served as a venue for the “Tra cielo e Terra” festival from June to September. Thus, the Anfiteatro brings together architectural details and a festival period running from June to September.

Which accommodation suits your plans

When choosing a holiday apartment in San Paolo Di Jesi, you can base your accommodation decision on a specific focus: the Torre Civica, Palazzo Bassi, Chiesa della Misericordia and Cavata delle zitelle represent history; Verdicchio, Vino di Visciole and the Visciola wine festival represent wine; and the Vulcanelli di Fango offer a special opportunity to observe the landscape. This allows you to combine the choice between a holiday apartment and a holiday home with your planned mix of local history, wine and landscape.
