If you are, you might want to consider Le Marche. Quiet, relaxing and pretty, Le Marche is a great Italian getaway. Not quite undiscovered but less so than places like Amalfi, Cinqueterre... Lot's of good, reasonably priced AirBnb's there as well. As noted by Perche, the beaches everywhere can get pretty crowded (particularly in July & August).
I'm totally open to other places. In fact, after getting some more advice on another forum, we're looking at Calabria and Sardinia. Will check Le Marche out, as well, thank you!
