You might have heard Le Marche referred to as ‘the new Tuscany’ and it's certainly got plenty of similarities: plenty of sunshine, a rich history of food and wine production, and vineyard-dotted hills. However Le Marche hasn't reached the dizzy heights of Tuscany when it comes to popularity, which means that the price of accommodation and travel are far more reasonable, so Le Marche is a fantastic Italian destination for great value luxury! Travellers can expect to find luxurious villas and converted palazzo to stay in, both in the main centres — travel hub, Ancona and seaside Pesaro — as well as the gorgeous rural settings. You'll also find more contemporary built luxury hotels and spa resorts. Browse our list and start planning your luxury trip to Le Marche before everyone cottons on!
