🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Ancona Falconara Airport (bus to station) or Ancona Centrale → Fabriano Station (then bus to Sassoferrato)

Ancona Airport Bus Stop (outside terminal) → Casa Vacanze Il Tiglio, Sassoferrato
💡 Buy your ticket for both legs at the airport tobacconist (tabacchi). The Fabriano–Sassoferrato bus stop is near the train station, not the main piazza. Tell the driver you want 'Sassoferrato centro' — they'll let you off a two-minute walk from the hotel.

💡 The bus is your only public link to Fabriano for trains or shops. Buy a return ticket at the bar near the bus stop — the driver doesn't sell them. Sundays you need a taxi (€25–30 one way).

Top Attractions in Sassoferrato
💡 Don't miss the small chapel to the left of the altar – it has a beautifully preserved 15th-century fresco cycle.
💡 Go early in the morning for the best light and fewer crowds. The walk up from the centre is steep but short.
💡 Check the opening hours on the commune website before you go; it closes for lunch and can be unpredictable outside peak season.
💡 Wear sturdy shoes after rain – the path gets muddy in sections. Best in spring when wildflowers are out.
💡 Buy a bag of olives or a slice of porchetta from the market stalls – much better value than the touristy cafes. Arrive before 10am for the best selection.
