La Cicala is located near Italy's Adriatic coast, just two hours south of the seaside resort town of Rimini, and about an hour by train from the region's main railway station in Ancona.

By Train:

For those traveling by train, the principal stations in the province of Le Marche that have service from which La Cicala can be reached include Ancona and San Benedetto del Tronto. From Ancona, continue down the coast to Cupra Marittima, where the traveler can take a bus to Carassai. Should you wish to do some shopping before your visit, continue traveling by train circa 20 minutes further south to the modern city San Benedetto, from which it is possible to have a scenic bus trip of about an hour that will take you virtually to the doorstep of La Cicala.

By Car:

From the A14 motorway, exit for Grottammare. Take the Statale heading North and stay on it until you are past Cupramarittima. At the intersection immediately after Cupramarittima, turn left for Carassai. La Cicala Agriturismo is signposted from here on. Continue forward in the Val Menocchia for about 12km, following the banks of the Menocchia river at all times. Following the signs for La Cicala Agriturismo, turn right onto the unpaved road and you should see our farmhouse at the top of the hill.
