Palazzo dell’Annunziata
The most impressive of the palazzi on Corso Ovidio is the 16th-century Palazzo dell’Annunziata, a harmonious blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Inside, the Museo Civico has a small collection of Roman mosaics and Renaissance sculpture, and the Museo Archeologico in situ showcases a 1st-century-BC Roman villa. At the time of research, both museums were closed on account of damage sustained in the 2009 earthquake.

You’ll remember this place – superb food, lovely, rustic surroundings, laid-back atmosphere and friendly service, all for the princely sum of €20. First up is the fabulous antipasto buffet, prepared from scratch every night, followed by delicious grilled lamb and scrumptious home-made desserts.

Just off Corso Ovidio, this is a charming and atmospheric bistro–wine bar. Exposed stone walls and the arched, vaulted ceiling set the stage for excellent home-made food and local wine, served by the glass from €4.
