Holiday rentals in Marche - what makes it so specialBreathtaking scenery - Fantastic food and wine - Beaches and Mountains - The friendliest, loveliest people - Outdoor Opera, festivals - Sunshine, clean air, natural springs - Art and architecture - Italian shoes - Medieval towns to explore - Undiscovered, un-touristy Real Italy! A perfect location to enjoy a family holiday in a private villa or farmhouse. Le Marche (pronounced Markay, or sometimes known as the Marches in the UK) is a secret paradise because of its geological terrain. Going up a valley floor from the Adriatic coast to the Apennine mountains is easy, but following the twisting roads up to hilltop top towns is difficult enough to result in Le Marche being lost in something of a time-warp!Marche the new TuscanyIn spite of Ryan Air and talk of Marche being the 'New Tuscany' the area has remained remarkably tourist free. It is a region of spectacularly varied scenery, sloping Eastwards from the high Apennines through green hills to the sea, it is a countryside of small farms, vineyards, olive groves and forests. A legacy of the Medieval past is an abundance of hill-top cities, encircled by defensive walls, with commanding views and monumental historic centres : in Byron's words, "here all the cities are capitals and have not that provincial tone of secondary cities of other kingdoms."
Marche - Papal and Imperial connectionsWith its Papal and Imperial connections, it was a region of steady, perhaps even competitive patronage: it is rich in Benedictine abbeys, well-endowed churches and monasteries and works of art. A particular joy of the area is to be able to look at works of art in churches and galleries in small cities where it is unlikely that there will be any other visitors. Base yourself in a holiday farmhouse or villa and explore beautiful Marche.
Marche - prospers with small-scale artisan industriesToday the region prospers with small-scale artisan industries, plus Italian shoes: Tods' and Prada are made here, In Tolentino, Poltrona Frau supplies the leather upholstery for Porsches, private yachts and jets, Nazzareno Gabriele has an outlet store here (handbags on Fifth Avenue and Bond Street), it's an area great for the designer shopping enthusiast, with 90% of Italy's shoes made here and many fashion outlet stores. And wine, - throughout the region there are new wineries and updated and innovative established ones, producing quality wines, best known are Verdicchio, Rosso Conero and Rosso Piceno. A perfect location to enjoy a family holiday in a private villa with pool.
Marche and the beautiful Sibillini MountainsThe Sibillini Mountains are one of Italy's most beautiful and interesting mountain ranges. Perfectly preserved with a series of limestone peaks, many over 2000 m high, the National park has an interest for everyone, mountain sports enthusiasts, botanists, photographers, hikers, birdwatchers, mountain bikers, it has lakes, castles monasteries, caves, and medieval villages to explore. Marche is full of gems to discover for the adventurous tourist, come with the knowledge that the only problem with Marche is that you will never want to leave………..
