Fashion and pleasure combined in the best way – in Le Marche

It must not be Milan
If one thinks of Italian fashion, Milan immediately comes to mind. While this may be partially justified, shoes and hats have been at home in the Marche for centuries.
With this program we would like to prepare you days, which let not only the lady’s hearts beat faster. As is well known, the gentlemen become always more fashion conscious. But not only the fashion should be in the foreground, because the Marche are also top in terms of culinary delights.
Just enjoy a wonderful interplay between many things that give us joy in life.

1st day: Benvenuti nelle Marche
Arrival in the afternoon. After check-in and an aperitif, you will have the opportunity to relax and / or make your first exploration until it is called Buon appetito with a delicious menu.

2nd day: Superlatives of the Piceno
In the morning, visit Ascoli Piceno, the city of 100 towers that is almost reminiscent of a theatrical backdrop. Get to know this gem better and certainly love it. In one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau cafes in Italy, the Meletti, on one of the ten most beautiful squares in Italy, the Piazza del Popolo, you then take a specialty that you can only taste here, namely the Anisetta.

You will visit a manufacturer in this small town and watch how this precious wool is processed into top fashion. Lunch is served in a typical mountain restaurant. Afterwards you should better bring your credit cards to safety, because you visit the so-called Fermano and this is the terrain of the shoe manufacturers. 85% of all Italian shoes come from here! This includes the luxury brands like Tod's and Explorer. Of course, all other well-known companies have settled here, Gucci, Prada & Co. The evening after a certainly not exactly frugal afternoon closes with the theme menu in the hotel.
