Most tourists who travel to Italy choose to spend their vacations on Lake Garda, the Amalfi Coast or Lake Como. These are of course fine destinations, but what about the region of Le Marche? This is a somewhat lesser known region, but definitely worthwhile for a motorhome trip. It is not for nothing that it is called the best kept secret of Italy. Many Italians themselves choose to vacation in this unspoiled region. The coast starts just below San Marino and is no less than 170 kilometers long. Perfect for a motorhome trip along beautiful beaches, nice historic towns and ancient sights. Are you ready for a new motorhome adventure in Italy? Then read on, we take you on a journey of discovery along the coast of Le Marche.

We start our journey of discovery along the coast of Le Marche in Pesaro. This is the northernmost city on the 170-kilometer long coastline. We stop in Pesaro for a reason, because this is the ideal motorhome stopover to combine culture and relaxation. Choose to relax on the sandy beach or take a look at the center of Pesaro. Here is namely a lot to see! Visit Piazza Del Popolo, the heart of the city. Here you can admire the fountain and a medieval palace. During your visit to this city, you can't miss Rossini. This famous composer was born in Pesaro in 1792. There is a street named after him, you can learn all about his life in Casa Rossini and there is an annual Rossini Opera Festival entirely dedicated to his music. Want to get away from the center? Then walk along the boulevard. Enjoy the tranquility and also here are works of art to be seen. One of them is the Sfero Granda di Pomodori. This modern sculpture in the shape of a sphere is not to be missed. 

In Pesaro you can spend the night at motorhome stopover Pesaro.

Are you a true nature lover or do you just want to find peace and quiet? Then Nature Park Monte San Bortolo is really something for you.

For the second stop of your motorhome trip, we head a little further south. Here you will find the fishing village of Fano. This place is also called "la città della fortuna", or "the city of luck"! This is because the city is dedicated to the goddess of fortune. When you walk through the center of Fano, you will see the lucky fountain. This bronze statue of the goddess of fortune is a must-see during your motorhome stop in this lovely town. That Fano was founded by the Romans can be seen from the various remains from this era. One of these remains are the intact city walls. These city walls are no less than 600 meters long! After Rome, these are the longest city walls in the world! When you walk through the gate of these old city walls, you come to the old city center. Here you will find narrow alleys, colorful houses and a cozy town square. Walk through these nice alleys and wander around in the center. In this way you will discover the best sights, stores and terraces.

It is one of the cleanest beaches in all of Italy. The nice thing about Senigallia is that you can park your motorhome directly at the beach. Not only the beach is beautiful, but also the city center is definitely worth a visit. Many tourists do not know this, but the center here is very cozy. You will find nice streets, squares, city parks and there is a daily market. This market takes place in the 19th century market square. A sight not to be missed is the Chiese delle Croce.
