A rural region in central Italy, Le Marche is known as a great coastal destination and as one of the best places to see historic Italian towns and an unspoilt interior. Also, some of Italy's best-preserved architecture and some of its most valuable artistic treasures are found here in Le Marche. Apartments in the region may be found in small Italian villages, on the coast, or in the countryside, so no matter what kind of holiday you're after, you can find it in Le Marche.

An apartment on the Adriatic coast is a great option for those who want both a relaxing seaside holiday and an opportunity to explore Italy's history and heritage. Fascinating towns like Urbino, Assisi, San Marino, Pesaro and Fano are just a short drive from the shore.

Urbino is one of the prettiest towns in Le Marche. An apartment here would put you in the heart of one of Italy's best-preserved Renaissance towns. In Urbino be sure to tour the UNESCO-protected historic centre, where Duke Federico da Montefeltro set up court in the 1400s.

Marche's natural offerings are just as exciting as its cultural sights. Be sure to visit the Frasassi caves (fascinating limestone caves) and the dramatic Furlo Gorge, a breathtakingly gorgeous natural mountain pass. For great hiking, head to natural parks like Monti Sibillini, where there are lots of opportunities for bird watching.

Enjoying the sandy beaches and gentle waves of the Adriatic Sea is a popular activity in Le Merche, but the region's mountainous interior offers plenty of other activities. Go hiking or bird watching in natural parks like Monti Sibillini, where there are trails for all tastes.

Wine tours and winery visits are another popular activity in Le Marche. Le Marche is known for the local Verdicchio grape, which makes a greenish, bitter-tinged white wine that combines well with traditional regional dishes. The best-known Verdicchio regions are Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi and Verdicchio di Matelica.
