Marche property for sale

The Italians describe Le Marche as "all of Italy in one region" as it combines history and culture with dramatic mountains, rolling hills and the wonderful Adriatic coast. Marche also has a vibrant economy, combining rich agricultural lands with fashion, shoemaking and new industries. In the past, tourism to Le Marche was traditionally for Italians who seem to have kept the area to themselves. Well, now the secret's out and the area's beauty is becoming more widely appreciated.

Why the Macerata area of Le Marche?

Before buying and restoring Villa San Raffaello, we searched the length and breadth of Le Marche and its fair to say that, wherever you decide to buy in Marche, it's likely to be beautiful. However; whilst this particular part of Le Marche around Sarnano offers the rolling hills and medieval villages it also has incredibly dramatic scenery, it's next to the National Park and the Sibillini Mountains and has received special tourism awards for its beauty. This part of Le Marche has good communication links, the Spa, the ski resort and a variety of services available. Sarnano is also equi-distant from both Ancona and Pescara airports, is under 2 hours to Rimini and Perugia airports and under 3 to Rome and Bologna.
