Activities and attractions nearby:
Pesaro and Urbino is the northernmost province in the Marche region, and as such representing a strategic crossroads from the touristic point of view. Situated between the Adriatic sea and the Apennine mountains in direct contact with Romagna, Tuscany and Umbria, it is the ideal base from where to visit and explore the territories of central Italy, of which it is a prime example. One of the striking aspects of the area is the amazing variety of colours displayed by the changing seasons, a tuneful composition that emanates from the green of the wooded hills to the blue of the sea, firing emotions like only nature can. As does the long coastline with its gentry sloping beaches nestling against a backcloth of hills surmounted by ancient hilltowns and castles. History and nature blend to become one and the same. Urbino still preserves the atmosphere of the ideal Italian Renaissance town set in the territory of Montefeltro, an area rich in castles and ruins standing on impervious crags, sanctuaries and churches rising out of open fields or nestling on the edges of woods, stately homes and solemn ducal palaces. (see the leaflet for more information about the province)
