Region guide

Why we love it

Stretching out along Italy's Adriatic coastline lies the little discovered Le Marche region. This quiet and sparsely populated region offers miles of impressive sandy beaches, rolling green hills and ancient hilltop towns. It's the perfect place to explore the best Italy has to offer, without the crowds.

The bustling port town of Ancona offers a great base. Beach lovers will love the endless stretches of sand found at Fano or Pesaro. Further inland lies the sophisticated town of Jesi and the impressive hilltop cities of Macerata and Urbino.

Wherever you choose to stay, you're bound to love Le Marche's undiscovered charms. Explore the guides below for a more detailed overview of each town and area or pick up the phone to talk with one of our team of experts.
