Known as the Marches in English, this beautiful area covers around 10,000 square kilometres of varied terrain, from the dramatic mountains at its Western border with Umbria and Tuscany to the flat coastal plains alongside 180km of Adriatic coastline. While the coast has its fair share of vibrant beach resorts with one of the highest number of Blue Flag beaches in Italy, the mountainous interior has a wealth of rugged peaks, stunning limestone gorges, caves and plunging torrents.

Our collection of private villas in Le Marche, all have peaceful locations with wonderful sea or countryside views yet are generally within easy reach of local amenities with plenty of opportunities to sample local cuisine and the region’s famous Verdicchio white wine.
