Le Marche is located in central Italy on the east coast near the Adriatic Sea. It borders Tuscany, Umbria, Emilia-Romagna and Abruzzo.
Italy’s best-kept secret
Le Marche is called “Italy’s best kept secret” and has rolling hills, a beautiful coastline, several towns and villages and plenty of restaurants.
The locals are extremely friendly and approachable and welcome your arrival. As a result, everything feels authentic and you get the real Italy feeling.
It resembles well-known Tuscany, but here it is less touristy. Really an area where many Italians go on holiday themselves. In recent years, however, more and more other tourists have been sneaking in here to enjoy the Marchigian beauty.
The Adriatic coast
Along the 170 km long coastline are beautiful sand and pebble beaches. The Riviera del Conero can be reached within 30 minutes from il Posto Perfetto. There is plenty to do for young and old. Among other things, you can sunbathe, swim, go supping or enjoy a boat trip. A delicious lunch or dinner on the beach is also an option.
Would you rather stroll and shop in the pretty coastal town of Sirolo? That’s also possible.
