 Le Marche offers a wide selection of rental properties - villas, holiday homes, farmhouses, stone cottages, rural holiday apartments, self-catering apartments with swimming pool - that offer safety, beautiful surroundings, privacy and comfort. Wherever you stay, about an hour by car in any direction in the Marches is what it takes to get to the sun kissed beaches of the Adriatic, or else to the foothills of the Sibillini Mountains or the Montefeltro Mountains and Mount Conero natural park, all of them providing a wide range of sports activities - skiing and cross-country skiing in the winter, horse-riding, paragliding, canyoning, hang gliding, hiking, cycling, and rock-climbing throughout the year. If you need some peace and quiet there is no better way to pamper yourself than a day spent at one of the region’s several spas, such as Sarnano, Acquasanta, Tolentino, Aspio, Montegrimano. Are you into music? Then treat yourself to a night at the opera: the city of Macerata hosts opera and classical music festivals annually in its celebrated Sferisterio Arena; the city of Pesaro - birthplace of the opera composer Gioacchino Rossin - hosts the Rossini Opera Festival. If you are artistic, what about some sightseeing in towns of real value such as Urbino, stunning City of Renaissance par excellence, Ascoli Piceno, Recanati, Loreto...? If you fancy a taste of the local culture and traditions, there are all sorts of festivals and pageants everywhere all year round, which is also a great way of trying the region's delicious traditional cuisine.
