Elcito — Balcone delle Marche, Monte San Vicino
Marche
Reachable only by a single narrow road, Elcito is a handful of stone houses clinging to a rock shelf below Monte San Vicino's summit ridge. The view from its edge takes in the Apennine foothills rolling away toward the coast, giving the hamlet its local nickname as the region's balcony.
