Glamping Lost

If you only make it off site once, it should be for a trip to Ascoli Piceno (20 minutes’ drive) – it’s a gorgeous city centred around the Piazza del Popolo and with lots of lovely little churches and squares to explore. Make time to eat some of the stuffed olives too – they’re a local delicacy for a reason. More tasty offerings are on hand in San Benedetto del Tronto (also 20 minutes), where seafood is on the menu in seafront restaurants. Build up an appetite by spending some time on the long sandy beach or strolling among the 7000 palm trees on the promenade. If you don’t fancy going that far, just wander into Monsampolo del Tronto to visit the archaeological museum and the crypt that houses the Monsampolo Mummy, or drop in on a local winery to see if you can try a sample or two.
