Location 

Le Marche (pronounced Le Markay) lies on the eastern side of central Italy, between the Adriatic coast and the high Apennine mountains. Close to Tuscany and Umbria, but with a more rural feel, Le Marche is often regarded as the "real" Italy, unspoiled by mass tourism and with a wealth of hilltop towns and villages to explore. Whether you want to soak up the sun, explore the rugged beauty of the countryside or discover the wonders of Renaissance art and architecture, Le Marche has it all.
