On holiday in San Benedetto del Tronto

San Benedetto del Tronto, 32 km from Ascoli Piceno, is one of the most popular and appreciated resorts. Summer is the time of the greatest confluence of tourists: the beaches are overcrowded, the shops stay open till late and night clubs animate the town throughout the night.

The characteristic feature of the town of San Benedetto del Tronto is its beautiful seafront: built in 1931, in addition to being an essential means of communication, it is the centre of the town's tourist soul, that became the place with which you identify the image, both in Italy and abroad.

Surrounded by lush gardens, pine trees, tennis courts and a skating rink, the promenade of San Benedetto distinguishes itself in its Southern part by the presence of bathing establishments on the one side of the road and villas and hotels on the other. A special feature of the waterfront is the abundant presence of palm trees that have become the symbol of San Benedetto in tourist sense so much that it gave the name to the Riviera of Palms. Spending your holiday at the Hotel Marconi means you can go on beautiful walks in the pedestrian area, take a bike ride along the long cycle track or penetrate into thematic gardens of San Benedetto del Tronto.

The Riviera of Palms is a splendid natural scenery ranging from the sea, with the gentle beaches of San Benedetto del Tronto and Grottammare to the green and harmonious hills up to the chain of the Sibillian mountains.

The landscape, sweet and balanced, is characterized by Mediterranean vegetation: holm oaks, laurels, pines, Aleppo pines, oaks, plane trees, elms, mulberries grow along the roads connecting towns and cities with ancient origins.

At Acquaviva Picena, Monteprandone, Ripatranzone, Offida, time seems to stand still. Here the flow of seasons is still marked by the change of colours: in spring, wheat, cornflowers, tulips, poppies flood the countryside with bright colours, while on ancient walls sprout capers. In autumn, golden and black grapes of Rosso Piceno can be seen along the road, flourishing among the rows of vines.

Significant artistic paths are discovered in the museums, galleries and in many urban centres of great dignity of the Riviera of Palms, but also inside the numerous churches, where precious architectural hand-made articles give the measure of wealth submerged in this territory.
