Belvedere Fogliense: Castle Walls, Riverside Paths and Regional Destinations

If you are planning a holiday apartment in Belvedere Fogliense, historic local features meet paths and regional destinations. Belvedere Fogliense was called Montelevecchie until 1922. The old Montelevecchie Castle was built by the Malatesta family; only the walls on the southern and eastern sides remain of the former castle. The body of Blessed Ugolino Malatesta delle Camminate is kept in the Chiesa di San Donato. The castle, the history of the name and the church provide several specific points of interest for a culturally focused holiday.

Holiday apartment in Belvedere Fogliense between history and paths

The route Strada marrone leads from Babbucce to Belvedere through a predominantly agricultural landscape. Its scenery includes cultivated fields, riverside vegetation, scattered houses, towers and villages on hilltops. This creates a varied landscape experience for families and active travellers, connecting the historic destination with open fields and settlements at higher elevations.

A municipal hiking trail from San Martino in Foglia follows the river, passes an old mill and climbs to below the walls of Belvedere Fogliense. There is a sulphur-water spring along the way. The event Trekking tra sentieri e borghi included an easy hike to Belvedere Fogliense on 19 April, covering about 10 km and taking around 2.5 hours. This means that both a riverside path and a specific example of a shorter, easy hike form part of the character of the area.
