| Beautiful rolling hills and snowy mountains are just a few miles away from the beaches |
The Marche is a region located in the central area of Italy, and its main features are a sweet hilly landscape adorned by ancient medieval towns, a coastline made of nice sandy beaches with some cliffs and rocky coves, and a wonderful national park in the mountains, a great place for walking, cycling and horse riding. The area is also full of caves like the famous Grotte di Frassassi, with a cavern so big that the Duomo of Milan could fit in it.

| The region is full of well preserved medieval towns |
The Marche region boasts a rich and broadly distributed heritage of history and monuments, many cultural events and a countless number of country fairs all year round, mainly dedicated to the rich gastronomy of the area. But probably the most interesting thing about Marche is that it has not been exploited by mass tourism and it remains largely unknown outside of Italy. This makes the region much more authentic and cheap compared to its famous neighbors Toscana and Umbria.

| The medieval town of Montottone |
If what you seek is a peaceful stay in an authentic medieval hilltop town, away from the traffic and the prices of the coast, but just a few minutes away from the beaches, the National Park in the mountains and the luxury shoes outlets, then the medieval hilltop town of Montottone is a perfect choice. It's located right in the middle of a
province full of jealously preserved fortified cities and villages, all
dating back to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance period.
