MIA Golf Club
A grassroots Marche club where public-access golf feels local, generous and proudly community-built
MIA Golf Club matters because it proves that Italian golf can still grow from civic energy rather than exclusivity. Between Camerata Picena's story and the current base near Chiaravalle, the club carries an unusually democratic spirit: a compact, public-facing place shaped by people who wanted golf to be accessible, teachable and rooted in community. It is not a championship stop, but it is one of the most interesting grassroots golf stories in the country.

Exclusive Experiences
Secrets found in no guidebook, curated by our concierge.
Jesi — Passeggiata sulle mura e nel centro storico
Jesi is the clearest cultural extension after MIA Golf: Renaissance facades, intact walls and a compact hill town center that still feels lived in rather than polished for tourists. It gives the round a proper Marche urban finish without needing a long transfer.
“Walk the outer walls first and then enter through one of the historic gates for aperitivo; the best version of Jesi is when you understand its elevated ring before sitting down in the center.”
Morro d'Alba — Cantina di Verdicchio e Lacrima
The right wine move after MIA Golf is one focused stop in the Morro d'Alba / Jesi hills, where Verdicchio and Lacrima still feel attached to the landscape and not just to branding. One cellar with a terrace or vineyard edge is enough to turn the afternoon into a real Marche wine moment.
“Ask to taste both a younger Verdicchio and a glass of Lacrima with local salumi; the contrast between the two wines tells you more about the area than a prestige-only tasting flight.”
Abbazia di Chiaravalle — Pausa tra campi e pietra
The Abbey of Chiaravalle near Jesi is the kind of stop that works because it is simple: Romanesque clarity, open agricultural surroundings and just enough silence to reset the body after the round. It feels contemplative without turning the day into a museum visit.
“Go close to late afternoon and spend time outside the abbey as much as inside; the fields and the calm around the stone are half of the experience.”
La Moretta — Osteria di porto e collina
Since 1897, La Moretta in Ancona has stayed true to itself: tight tables, house wine, and Marche seafood cooking without pretension. The anconetana fish stew and vincisgrassi come out of the kitchen the way grandmothers made them — not the way tourists imagine them. A place that cooks well because it never stopped.
“Show up at opening for lunch — seats fill fast and they don't take reservations.”
Cingoli — Il balcone delle Marche al tramonto
Perched at 631 meters above the Macerata hills, Cingoli surveys the whole region with the calm of a place that knows it's exactly where it should be. From the old town belvedere at sunset, the hills ignite in painted orange: the Apennines on one side, the Adriatic coast on the other, Lago di Castreccioni below like a mirror. Almost no one outside Marche knows it exists.
“Park outside the walls and walk to the Porta Pia belvedere — that's the view that stops you cold.”
