From our base in Loreto we hit towns along the Riviera del Conero - a beautiful spot of Italy away from the usual bustle of foreign tourists. We see a big market, parade and horse race during our stay in Loreto and do day trips to Osimo, Sirolo, Ascoli Piceno, two wineries and towns along the coast. Not many non-Italians come to this area, so it can be our little secret.

Unfortunately, the apartment we stayed in is no longer rentable. That sucks but there are quite a few similar places available through places like VRBO or AirB&B.

This is a great website for information on the area:
