A country lane among vineyards and green hills in Le Marche

Le Marche is often called Italy’s best-kept secret — and with good reason.

The region lies halfway down the Italian peninsula, between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea. Discover old towns where time seems to have stood still, unspoilt nature parks with high mountains, hills with sweeping views, the coast and, of course, authentic Italian food.

The fertile soil produces abundant fruit and vegetables, wonderful wines and olive oil. The people are friendly and welcoming. With plenty of sunny days, it is a lovely region in which to enjoy Italian life outdoors.

Le Marche covers almost 10,000 km² and has around 1.5 million inhabitants.
