Near the Verghereto, we find the Hermitage of Sant'Alberico. The stage takes place mainly on gravel roads and paved roads with little traffic that make the journey faster while enjoying the panoramas that can be admired. The landscape changes radically, passing from a bucolic and rural environment to a mountainous one, typical of the Apennines. You return to Valmarecchia, in the highest part of the valley. Road surface: carriageways, forest paths, secondary roads The village is one of the main Franciscan places in Montefeltro. The route runs almost entirely on sheep tracks and dirt roads, with some stretches of asphalt, up to Sant'Agata Feltria, at the entrance of which we find the Convent of the Capuchin Friars (guesthouse) and the Convent of the Poor Clares (guesthouse). With this stage you descend again to the valley floor and then go up again to the opposite ridge which delimits the hydrographic left bank, beyond which, in the Savio Valley, is Sant'Agata Feltria. Road surface: cart tracks, secondary roads, dirt roads Francis received Mount La Verna as a gift from Count Orlando Catani of Chiusi, which later became one of the most important places in the history of Franciscanism. From the convent you then quickly reach San Leo, completing the last stretch with the beautiful view of the cliff dominated by an imposing fortress, as Dante recalls it in the Divina Commedia. Among pastures, cultivated fields and wooded patches, you reach the Convent of Sant'Igne, one of the most significant destinations on the Way. You walk mainly on dirt roads and some stretches of asphalt. The route enters the stupendous landscape of the middle-high Valmarecchia, dominated by rugged cliffs, dominated by fortified fortresses. Road surface: carriageways, secondary roads XIV and consecrated on 16 June 1400 the cloister with the famous cypress and the chapel of San Francesco. Tradition tells us that San Francesco, traveling through Valmarecchia, probably coming from Rimini in 1215, stopped here at a country chapel dedicated to the Holy Cross and erected a poor hut in wood and branches, the first nucleus of the current convent, documented for the first time in 1311. He then went on to give us advice on shops and bars for the rest of our time in SF.The first stage starts from the Cathedral (Malatestiano temple - former church of San Francesco), reaching the beautiful historical-naturalistic route along the bank of the Marecchia river up to Villa Verucchio.

We went back today and made sure the bill was paid in full and a tip and our eternal thanks was given to Willie in person. I reassured him I wanted to pay in full and left him my details and my hotel etc. in the end, Willie suggested we give him half the bill and we'd be fine as we seemed to him genuine people. Willie tried various ways to take cash or part payments and other staff helped to point me to safe ATM's to try and check my balance etc.
We then faced a difficulty with our card (we are from the UK) as a company earlier in the day had taken money from us when they shouldn't have. His advice on drinks and foods was first class. Our waiter, Willie was the star of the show. The starters and entrees were fantastic, rich sauces and steak to die for. We chose this restaurant out of the eight on offer as it had a great mix of the foods we liked. Snuggled away down a side street there was so much choice. We were advised to check out this Belden Place by and we weren't dissapointed.
