On holiday in Grottammare

Live the charm of this beautiful liberty style village

Blue flag flying proudly over fine golden sandy beaches; clear, clean water and a shallow, gently graduated sea bed; pine groves; the restful green of the palm trees; the pink and the white of the flowering oleanders; orange trees of a mild climate; quiet walks among Art Deco villas.

Grottammare offers all this and much more. A welcoming little town rich in history and traditions, Grottamare offers visitors the opportunity to escape from city smog and to rediscover long-forgotten scents and colors.

The old quarter of the town was recently added to the list of "The most beautiful villages in Italy". A little medieval jewel, set on a leafy hill overlloking the sea, it is less than 1 km from the coastal town and can be easily reached by a short walk, or in the summer months, on a charming little train which leaves from the sea front and takes visitors up to the top of the hill.

 

 

Grottammare by bicycle

The cycle path of the Riviera delle Palme

Along the Marches coast of the Province of Ascoli Piceno it develops a cycle/pedestrian trail, ideal to ride with your bicycle and perfect for jogging or beautiful strolls along the beach. The path passes through the whole famous Riviera delle Palme, from Porto d'Ascoli (within San Benedetto del Tronto area) to Cupra Marittima, via Grottammare. Overall 15 kilometres, naturally flat, for a path that is characterised by the riviera's panoramic views, rich of palms, oleanders and tropical plants, and featured by some of the most beautiful and interesting coastal towns of the Marches Region and the fascinating liberty style villas overlooking the sea.

The first 4 kilometres of the trail develop almost overall under the shadow of the 2.000 centuries-old palms that have made popular the splendid promenade of San Benedetto del Tronto.
