The name of this lovely region is attributed to the time of the Carolingian kings, who designated border areas outside the Roman Empire, as ‘Mark’. This region, full of wonderfully authentic Italian country cottages had many owners during its eventful and turbulent history and it was only until 1860 that the area was settled on as part of the Kingdom of Italy.

Marche consists of five provinces: Ancona, Ascoli Piceno, Fermo, Macerata and Pesaro-Urbino. Ancona is far more well-known because the city has one of the largest ferry ports in the entirety of Italy. You may well land here on the journey towards your country cottages in Le Marche. Some go to the harbour to socialise and observe the daily hustle and bustle. Whereas on the hills of Piceno and in the capacious valley of Esino, there is a thriving network of fruit groves and vines. The neighbouring region of Tuscany and Umbria are also within reach of your holiday villas. Time passes more slowly here, where old mansions, farmhouses and Italian villas tell stories from the past and add to the rustic charm of this region.
