PESARO & SURROUNDINGS AREAS
Not just the seaside, explore the countryside dotted with medieval villages and ancient charms
Our
hotel in Pesaro is the perfect base for exploring all the picturesque corners that this city and the rich
Marche countryside have to offer tourists and visitors.
Urbino
The areas surrounding Pesaro offer a wealth of stunning villages that are just asking to be explored. Urbino stands out especially, as its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is no coincidence, thanks to its renaissance old town centre. Even today it still displays charming influences from the distant past.
Gradara
Another must-see destination during a
holiday in Pesaro is – without a doubt –
nearby Gradara, which is perhaps one of the best-preserved fortified
medieval villages in Italy. A fascinating Malatesta fortress dominates it, which was the site of epic battles over who held the city. It was also home to the romantic, star-crossed story of the most famous lovers in history,
Paolo and Francesca.
Other villages to explore
There are truly tonnes of
medieval villages in the Marche region, as well striking villages sheltered on the hills. If you love legends and myths, the
areas surrounding Pesaro are the perfect places for organising a
trip. You could discover authentic gems like Corinaldo, Frontino, Cingoli, Macerata Feltria, Monte Grimano Terme and many more!
Pesaro
As much as the
sea is beautiful and popular with tourists,
Pesaro is not just a seaside town, but also a substantial
cultural centre and the home of monuments and works of art with great historic significance.
Just be taking a
pleasant stroll through the centre of Pesaro, a short walk from our
hotel that is close to the sea, you can visit the
Cathedral with its Roman mosaics, the civil museums, the Diocesan museum, the
Nome di Dio Church, the
Palazzo Ducale of Pesaro and the stunning
Music Conservatory, which
Rossini donated to the city, as well as the
birthplace of the composer, one of
Pesaro’s most famous
children. The
spacious lookout point that hosts the
Big Sphere by Arnaldo Pomodoro is also perfect for strolls, as you can enjoy a stunning
view overlooking the sea
Rossini Opera Festival
Music is one of the great stars of this city. In fact, it is right here that the Rossini Opera Festival is held every year, famous the world over for its importance in regards to opera.
Another renowned event is the
Pesaro Film Festival, which is also famous all over the world. Just think that the first editions hosted artists of the calibre of Rossellini, Zavattini, Bertolucci, Godard and Pasolini.
