Discover the coast of Le Marche with the motorhome

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.
