Unspoiled countryside, rolling hills, farm land, vineyards, olive groves, the Marche is a relaxing and charming setting in which to get to know rural Italy. There are beautifully restored towns and villages to visit and many boast a lovely piazza and a theatre (or rather a mini opera house), others a castello. The Romans recruited their legions in the area and have left many remains such as the famous cisterns in Fermo (10 miles) which supplied water to the Roman fleet anchored on the coast. There are many beaches to visit along the Adriatic coastline, as well as the spectacular Conero cliffs at Ancona (40 miles). One of the nicest seaside resorts is Porto San Giorgio (12 miles from the house), a bustling little town, with palm tree lined streets and seafood restaurants and perhaps the best gelateria in Italy! The small town of Petritoli (3 miles from the house) has good shops and restaurants, a tourist office and local festivities throughout the year.
