Holiday apartment in Gabicce Mare: beach, nature and culture

Gabicce Mare combines a beach with very fine sand, a rocky cliff rising directly from the beach, and the Parco Naturale del San Bartolo. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Gabicce Mare, this places a coastal town at the centre of your plans, whose character is shaped by the changing landscape of sandy shores, rock and protected countryside.

Holiday apartment in Gabicce Mare between beach and nature

A large part of the municipality of Gabicce Mare lies within the Parco Naturale del San Bartolo. Parco San Bartolo is characterised by a high coastline, consisting largely of living cliff coast – a rare type of landscape throughout the Adriatic region. The part of the park located in Gabicce Mare is suitable for cycling tours, walks and excursions into nature. This goes hand in hand with the tradition of cycling tourism, which has been cultivated since 1980. Those choosing accommodation for their holiday can therefore weigh up relaxed days on the sandy beach against active activities in the coastal landscape.

Paths, harbour and special coastal views

Via Panoramica leads from Gabicce Mare to the historic village of Gabicce Monte, which preserves interesting historical and artistic evidence. The Porto di Gabicce includes a lighthouse and a promenade along the quay. From the village, the Sentiero del Coppo leads through nature to the sea; halfway along, it passes the ancient Fonte del Coppo. A shuttle service connects Pesaro, Parco San Bartolo and Gabicce Mare. These different places and connections help you define your preferred focus when choosing your holiday apartment, whether between the sea, nature trails, the harbour and excursions.

Historical evidence and vibrant traditions

In Gabicce Monte, the Chiesa di Sant'Ermete is a historical and artistic monument. Its oldest documented furnishings date back to 775. The ceramics production of Girolamo Lanfranco is also part of the area's traditional history: it was officially recognised by an edict issued in 1569 by Duke Guidubaldo II Della Rovere. Disco Diva adds a modern cultural touch: it is an international disco music festival that began in 2015 and takes place in June. The Festa della Stella Maris is also a recurring religious festival in Gabicce Mare.
