The San Settimo Country Club is a structure immersed in Arcevia, where tourists can have many services available within the area of this prestigious estate: spa, horseback riding, tracks with Quod.

Arcevia is a beautiful town located about 500 m above sea level, in an ideal location for a relaxing holiday in the Marche region, but especially in a location that made it the key in the middle ages of three regions : Marche, Umbria and the Duchy of Urbino.

The history of Arcevia has ancient origins, until the year 1817 the center was called Rocca Contrada, Pius the Seventh was later to confer the title of city and to give it the name, probably derived from Arces Via, which means fortified.

But if we give credence to an ancient parchment is a return to the past.

In the paper, in fact, it shows a deed of 1207, where it is written that a venerable stone, later destroyed by an earthquake, was inscribed with the sentence : i Galli Senoni founded and called me Arcevia.

Arcevia fortified place, but also the scene of bloody battles that broke out in the Middle Ages between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, and violent rebellion against the Church headed by the Malatesta and Montefeltro.

Today Arcevia is a quiet predominantly agricultural country, is also open to tourism inspired by the history, art and the rediscovery of the peaceful landscape.

On the hills around the mountain arise, in a dominant and strategic position, eight other castles: they all preserve the original urban planning and everyone seems to live the ancient atmosphere of the past!


We at Turismo Marche recommend you to spend your vacation in this quiet and green area of the interior of the Marches.
