Montegiorgio is North East of Rome and South East of Florence and only 30 minutes from both the stunning Sibillini Mountains and the beautiful coastal resort of Porto San Giorgio

You can learn more about the history and geography of Le Marche by visiting the Wikipedia website.

There are a number of beautiful coastal resorts worth visiting.

Porto San Giorgio is a short drive and is great for shopping and known for its excellent fish restaurants.

The main square is tree lined and on an evening you can sit and watch the Italian's strolling around with their families.

The beach is superb with soft white sands and the blue Adriatic sea.

Further North on the coast towards Ancona are the beautiful villages of Numana and Sirolo.

Here you can stroll around the local pretty fishing harbour or spend time in one of the stunning coves sunbathing and relaxing.
