Casa Filippini, B&B with spacious rooms in Fossombrone
Casa Filippini is a B&B in the centre of Fossombrone, in the Marche, in a quiet area near Piazza Mercato. It has spacious air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom, a terrace and free Wi-Fi. I would choose it for a night or two on the way through, but in midsummer it's worth asking how cool the room really is.

Where Casa Filippini is in Fossombrone
B&B Casa Filippini is in Piazza Mercato, in the historic centre of Fossombrone, in the Marche. It is a convenient spot for getting around on foot, and guests describe it as quiet and on a charming street that evokes times gone by.
For those arriving by air, the property's details put Rimini airport at about 70 km. Parking is one of the points that wins people over most: several guests talk about spaces in the square in front, one free and another with a timed disc, with times that cause no problems. There is also a supermarket just around the corner, according to someone who stayed here.
What the rooms are like
The rooms are air-conditioned and well kept, with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with toiletries, a hairdryer and a bidet. There is free Wi-Fi and a panoramic terrace to relax on.
The most repeated remark in reviews is that the rooms are spacious and roomy. One, called Marco, has a small sitting area with a TV, fridge, air conditioning and a sofa that turns into a bed. Others speak of a clean, new, well-furnished room with a fridge and kettle for tea or coffee.
The bathroom has one small detail to know. In one room, a guest writes, there is a bath but no shower. For them it was a minor thing, since the bathroom is large and practical, but anyone who really wants a shower should ask first.
What guests say
With 4.3 out of 5 and 52 reviews on Google, Casa Filippini is well liked, above all for its hospitality. The positive reviews are many and say similar things.
- The owners. Described as kind, friendly and helpful, both by those who slept one night and by those who stayed longer.
- Cleanliness. Clean, well-kept rooms, in an atmosphere described as comfortable and carefully finished in the details.
- Breakfast. Some guests call it generous and delicious, and one review says it is taken in a nearby rosticceria.
- Price. More than one guest mentions good or moderate prices.
Things to know before booking
The main drawback is the heat. The critical reviews almost all mention air conditioning, and here it's better not to pretend otherwise.
| What guests like | What to know |
|---|---|
| Spacious rooms, some with a small sitting area | One guest found the air conditioner very noisy and not very effective |
| Central location and parking nearby | With the timed parking disc you need to respect the times |
| Friendly owners and a generous breakfast | Breakfast is taken in a nearby venue, not in the property |
| Large, practical bathrooms | One room has a bath but no shower |
Two guests, with very low ratings, say that in some rooms the air conditioner was a portable unit in the lounge rather than in the room, and the room was very hot in summer. The advice is simple. Ask first how the room you are given is air-conditioned, especially in the hot months, or ask to change rooms on arrival.
Another guest, one August evening late, found nothing open for dinner. Fossombrone is quiet in the evenings, so plan dinner a little ahead.
Who it is for
I would choose it for people driving through the Marche who want a comfortable, clean and welcoming stop, with large rooms at a fair price. It works well for couples, for business travellers and for families who appreciate the sofa bed.
It is less suitable for anyone looking for evening life, or for anyone who expects perfect summer temperatures without checking first. In that case, talk to the owners before confirming.
What to see and where to go nearby
The centre of Fossombrone is best explored on foot, and the streets close to the B&B are already part of the place's charm. To widen the trip, it's best to use the car and plan a route through the Marche, Tuscany and Umbria.
If you want ideas for other stops, look at Affittacamere Villa Ghirardelli in Sirolo and the Hotel Paradiso in Amandola, both in the Marche. To continue to other regions there are Alla Battuta in Sansepolcro and Camere Calocci in Assisi.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
