Palazzo Massi is situated directly on the main square in the medieval village of Cossignano. This charming, tranquil hamlet is off the main tourist routes. Located high on the hillside, 400 metres above sea level, it offers wonderful panoramic views of Gran Sasso (Abruzzi) and the Sibylline mountains, across to the Adriatic Sea, just 15 minutes drive away. Visitors can savour authentic Italian life here. A variety of excursions can be undertaken to enjoy the area's rich culture (Ascoli Piceno, Offida,Fermo etc.), the picturesque countryside of the Sibylline national parks and the nearby Adriatic Sea. Palazzo Massi with its old stonewalls and vaulted ceilings was formerly the residence of the Italian nobility. The accommodation consists of a spacious living-room with an open fireplace and frescoed ceiling (40 m2), 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a kitchen. The property now belongs to the Massi family, who run a small wine-cellar nearby offering organically produced wines.
Situated at 400 metres above sea level on the peak of the hill, the medieval village of Cossignano (1000 inhabitants) still has pleasant temperatures even in the height of summer thanks to the refreshing breeze typical of the area. The hamlet is nestled among the beautiful hilly countryside of the Marches where wine and olives are cultivated. Palazzo Massi stands on the main square of the old town directly adjacent to the church, the town hall, a bakery and a small bar. Two supermarkets, the butcher's, a delicatessen specialising in homemade pasta ant the chemist's are just a 3 minute walk away. Fresh vegetables and fish are available from the market which visits the piazza twice a week. Guests can choose between local restaurants which offer a range of authentic dishes and specialities at reasonable prices or take the 15 minute journey down to the coast where numerous restaurants serve excellent fish.
