Nestled in central Italy, Marche is like a hidden treasure chest waiting to be discovered. This region has it all: stunning landscapes, a fascinating history, and that authentic Italian charm that's so hard to resist.
In a country where major cities are often overrun with tourists, Marche offers a refreshing alternative. Picture rolling hills dotted with vineyards, quaint medieval towns steeped in history, and a coastline that stretches along the sparkling Adriatic Sea. It's a picture-perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of more popular destinations.
One of Marche's standout cities is Pesaro, named Capital of Culture in Italy for 2024. This vibrant city is buzzing with art, history, and beautiful sandy beaches along the Adriatic. Whether you're exploring the grand Palazzo Ducale or simply soaking up the sun by the sea, Pesaro offers a little something for everyone.
And then there's Urbino, another gem of Marche. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a Renaissance marvel, with its winding streets leading to the majestic Palazzo Ducale. It's a place where history comes alive, and you can almost feel the spirit of Raphael, the famed painter who once called Urbino home.
What makes Marche perfect for luxury travellers is its authenticity. It's not about flashy resorts or crowded tourist traps here. Instead, it's about indulging in the simple pleasures of life: savoring local cuisine made with the freshest ingredients, sipping on world-class wines from family-owned vineyards, and exploring charming villages where time seems to stand still.
