Two weeks in the Le Marche region this August

[Adenauer]

We're off there for the first time and cannot wait. Villa and car is all arranged so we're mobile whilst there.

Does anyone know the region at all, any suggestions for a day out, beaches, nice towns, etc?

Two adult and two teenagers.

TIA

Great, thanks Christian.

I have heard that it's packed in August but that's the only time we can go, unfortunately.

We've heard that Sienna is worth a visit. We're staying in San Ginesio, apart from not I haven't a clue what to do, to be perfectly honest.

Italy in August? You must be absolutely mad. Google "Ferragosto"

That's on the 15th, we're traveling down on the 16th, oh dear.

iva, a day trip to Florence is probably on the cards but I have heard that Sienna is actually nicer?

Chris, that's brilliant info, thanks. The kids are girls (17 & 18). They want to eat Pizza and Pasta.

Mrs Adenauer and I want to have a few nice days out, also maybe a few days on the beach, and then spend the rest of the time lounging by the pool.

We do wine, food, nice towns and nice beaches.

We don't do, religion.

Really???

Florence is an obvious destination, but Siena is also something else, and well worth a visit. On the other hand le Marche coast is lovely: quieter than the west, but with lovely beaches. We've stayed twice in Sirolo. Lovely little market town, good hotels (campsite if you want it)and really can recommend it. Good luck!

Thanks, Rupert. Not long now, really looking forward to it.

Do you have any names of the lovely beaches, any secret ones off the beaten track perhaps? We have a Villa for the duration so shan't need any hotels or campsites.
