Le March, Italy

I everyone,

I am new to this forum and would really appreciate any advice you can offer.

My family (myself, my husband and our two teenage children) will be in the region of Le Marche, Italy in early August for 8 nights. We would like to split the time in two separate places from which to base ourselves (maybe northern and southern Le Marche) but we cannot decide what those two places should be.

We want to relax, visit small hill towns, see interesting sites and spend time at a beach. We also love walking in medieval villages at night. We have been told that Urbino and Ascoli Piceno are must sees but as we research this area. there are so many other gorgeous places to visit (would they make good day trips?).

The beaches at the Conero Riviera look gorgeous and there are small villages not far from there that we can consider staying at.

Any advice would be so helpful.

Thank you very much.

Lara

I am in Ascoli Piceno right now, it is great. A car would make day trips easier, but the trains and buses have worked fine for me.

If you want a beach town with good connections to other places, Pesaro might be good. In addition to several beaches, there is a nice Centro Storico.

Urbino is wonderful, I just stayed at Hotel Italia. Lots of university students, same at Macerata, from which I took a daytrip by bus to Recanati, a lovely old town spread across the crest of a hill. Macerata has a lot of music and culture events.

Ascoli Piceno is beautiful. Connections to other places are a little more difficult than I expected, but doable.

Post again if you have other questions.
