The Marche / Abruzzo / Marche region

The Le Marche region is located half way down Italy's eastern coast. With 180 km coastline of enticing beaches on the Adriatic Sea to the east, and the gently rolling foothills of the Sibillini mountains in the west, it provides an enchanting landscape. It is know as 'undiscovered Italy' It is rich in history with many areas of historical importance, cultural attractions, beautiful scenery and natural phenomena such as the Frasassi Caves. The countryside is not dissimilar to that which you would find in Tuscany or Umbria (but without the steep prices). It has many beaches to explore from the Conero National Park near Ancona to the more formal at Porto Recanati or Civitanova. Frasassi Caves - This 35 kilometre long wonderland of limestone caverns and caves is only 55 minutes North in the Frassi Gorge. Monte Conero and Beaches - Just south of Ancona the white cliffs of Monte Conero plunge straight into the sea, forming the northern Adriatic's most spectacular and enjoyable stretch of coastline. It is easily accessible, with the major resorts of Portonovo, Sirolo and Numana all within easy reach of La Serenissima. Civitanova Marche - Attractive seaside resort and colourful fishing port with a long gravel beach and promenade. An open air market is held in the centre of the town on Saturday mornings selling everything but particularly good for leather shoes.San Severino Marche - 12 kilometres north of Tolentino this pretty 6th century town features a blend of Renaissance and Medieval buildings and an elliptical town square, Piazza del Popolo, surrounded by porticoes.

Guestbook for La Serenissima

La Serenissima is a beautiful house and each room wonderfully decorated and furnished. We also enjoyed the home cinema system when it was raining and the fridge freezer was well used. Even dining and going to bed by candlelight was fun. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing house with us. Hilary - Sept 2006
