FROM VIENNA TO ANCONA
Take the opportunity of a direct flight from Vienna to Ancona. To experience Le Marche. A Region in the plural, a land of infinite possibilities. Kissed, on the coast, by the breeze and waves of the Adriatic Sea. In contact with Nature, both gentle and wild at the same time, from which one breathes peace and serenity. Mountain where one can trek if not ski. "Land of a Hundred Theatres" and of widespread art and cradle of great artists such as Raffaello, Lorenzo Lotto and Giacomo Leopardi. Delightful medieval villages where time seems to stand still. An unhurried lifestyle and a taste for little good things. Like the high quality extra virgin olive oil that usually accompanies the tables of the Marche, together with a good glass of wine.

SUGGESTED PROGRAMME
1st Day: PORTONOVO, SIROLO & NUMANA
Arrival and Accomodation at SeeBay Hotel, a marvellous Hotel surrounded by the silence and the unmistakable greenery of the Bay of Portonovo. You will be welcomed by an aperitif served on the Terrace followed by the opportunity to take an hydromassage bath at our Private SPA.
In the afteroon you can start exploring the magic of the Nature. Portonovo is a unique example of wonder: a beautiful Mediterranean escape at the feet of the iconic mountain, with white beaches, crystal blue waters, strawberry trees and groves of oaks and marine pines. A corner of Paradise, designed freehand by Nature with elegance and style where you can admire the Tower - an ancient fortified tower that has guarded the coast for over 300 years, the Santa Maria church – a beautiful white jewel nestled within the green and the Napoleonic Blockhouse.
Further South we suggest to visit Sirolo, an antique fishers’ town nestled in the typical white calcareous rocky bays of the Conero Mounts. The small town features narrow alleys where visitors can find artisans’ shops, restaurants and bars. Sirolo is characterized by lovely beaches: the Urbani beach with its homonymous cave, San Michele beach, Sassi Neri beach (Black Pebbles beach) and Due Sorelle beach, is a hallmark on the Riviera.
2km away from Sirolo, Numana outstands with its clear waters, its wide golden beaches and a well-equipped port. Among the most popular beaches of Numana, we can mention “Spiaggiola” which is located at a bay at the back of the port.
Dinner with a special Menu and local dishes of Marche at SeeBay Restaurant to have the authentic taste of our Territory.
2nd Day: WINE TOUR & ANCONA
After breakfast, we suggest to visit one of most prestigious Rosso Conero wineries. Just a few minutes from Portonovo Bay, you can find the Azienda Agricola Moroder which delights you with the best wines from Le Marche Region and its extraordinary cuisine for a typical local flavours lunch. Along with many other wineries well known for their Red wine and the Worldwide awarded Verdicchio
After lunch, you can continue along the panoramic Conero road, which offers a sensational view of the cliffs, to the city of Ancona. Don't miss a walk through the architectural history of the 18th century: from the Mole Vanvitelliana, designed by Luigi Vanvitelli, an Italian architect and painter who is considered one of the greatest interpreters of the Rococo and Neoclassical periods, to the Cathedral of San Ciriaco, from Trajan's Arch to the Loggia dei Mercanti. Today, the Mole Vanvitelliana also houses the Omero State Tactile Museum, one of the few tactile museums in the world that offers visitors the opportunity to see with their hands. For a unique multisensory museum experience. An immense artistic and cultural heritage stands next to the Port, where the sun can be seen setting and where one is immersed in a scenario with an ancient heart and a futuristic vision.
Our suggestion: Dinner at Ginevra Restaurant where you can sample the authentic delights of Marche cuisine with a breathtaking view of the sea and the Port of Ancona
3rd Day: ART BREAK - LORETO & RECANATI
Enjoy our amazing home-made pastry and then we suggest a visit in Recanati, a delightful medieval village steeped in history. Here you can immerse yourself in the volumes of the Leopardi Library, considered the greatest Italian poet of the nineteenth century and one of the most important figures in the literature romanticism of the world. You can relive memories of Silvia, admire the “Piazza del Sabato del Villaggio” and see the “Tower of the Lonely Sparrow”. Climb the “ermo colle” and feel the Infinity on the horizon.
A few kilometers from Recanati, you can easily reach the town of Loreto. Here stands the Holy House of Mary, one of the main pilgrimage destinations in the world, but also a town with a view of the entire Riviera. The Sanctuary houses the Nazarethian Holy House of Our Lady as well as some of the most important works by Lorenzo Lotto, who was an Italian painter and one of the leading exponents of the early 16th century Venetian Renaissance.
