We got more than we expected. A long winding road, lots of places you can stop for a view into the country but even better over the sea. There are some small villages where you can stop for a drink or more for a fair price.

You cannot miss this if you go to Pesaro. It is impressively displayed on a shiny surface with the sea as a backdrop. Don't miss the villino next to it. The town is really lovely as is the beach.

Have visited every summer with kids and guests in the last 4 years.
Open in the afternoon from 4 to 7, it's a great way to cool off the summer heat after a day at the beach.
Used as a professional high school for 9 months a year, the Gardens tour are given by nice school students (might be challenging if you need them in English).
Kids always have a blast with the water games and spend over half hour after the tour in the "theatre" playig hide and seek.
Plenty of parking, bring a change of clothes of you want to experience all the water games.

We found this to fit in neatly with our walking tour of the Centro Storico. In particular the pigeons seem to be using the same site for their refreshment stop!
