Adriatic Italy–a 5 day immersion into the Conero Riviera

Join us on a 5-day journey in the heart of the Marche region and let’s explore together the Conero Riviera and a few of its most attractive towns on the Adriatic coast and the nearby hinterland. We will go on outings that will be varied and show you some Italian places most tourists do not get to see!
Gery, who has lived in Loreto for over twelve years has prepared our Itinerary for the area both as a local person and as a tourism professional. She graduated from the oldest university in the world, Bologna, and obtained a Master's degree in Tourism. Furthermore, Gery has 18- year of working experience in the tourism field. Your host will be Carmina.

We will stay at a unique location, overlooking Conero Mountain and the hills of Loreto, where the Basilica with the Holy House of Nazareth proudly perches over the Adriatic coast. It is Italy's largest shrine to the Virgin Mary, a popular tourist destination and pilgrimage site famous all over the world. Legend has it that the House of Nazareth was carried by angels through the air to escape the invasion of Palestine by the followers of Mohammed.

We will be surrounded by breathtaking views, authentic places, and people so that you can immerse into the real Italian culture and lifestyle. The peace and quiet of the area, the local hospitality, and the fresh Italian food will help you unwind, relax and appreciate the stunning nature that surrounds you.
