Le Marche
Le Marche: Italy’s Underrated Gem on the Adriatic
Stretching along the Adriatic coast, Le Marche is often called Italy’s “secret Tuscany”—a region of rolling hills, medieval hill towns, and seaside charm, but without the tourist crowds or inflated prices. With a rich history, vibrant culture, and strong local traditions, it’s an ideal place for those seeking authenticity and balance. Residents enjoy both sandy beaches and dramatic mountain landscapes, plus easy access to Rome, Florence, and Bologna.
Le Marche’s cost of living is refreshingly affordable, and its food culture is exceptional—famed for Verdicchio wines, fresh seafood, and truffle-rich cuisine. The region also boasts excellent healthcare and reliable infrastructure. While there are some opportunities in agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism, the job market is relatively limited, especially if you don’t speak Italian. For this reason, Le Marche is particularly well-suited to remote workers, creatives, and retirees who want to enjoy the quality of life without depending on the local economy.
While picturesque villages are the heart of Le Marche, the region also offers dynamic mid-sized cities that are less known internationally but provide culture, amenities, and year-round life.
Top Towns and Cities to Consider in Le Marche:
Ancona – 98,000: The regional capital and a major port city with ferries to Greece and Croatia.
