I used booking.com to reserve a room at Hotel Des Bains, which is 1 block from the beach and "4600 ft from Train Station". From the station it's a nice walk through the quaint historic/commercial area to the mare and hotel, limited to foot traffic and complete with a large square playing classical music (as Pesaro is the birthplace of the opera composer Gioachino Rossini).. Many people are enjoying the sunshine and warm temperatures - sitting outside with a spritz or gelato. 

After the commercial area I pass through a residential area with large villas each having its own style, typically reminiscent of an Art Nouveau/Art Deco fusion, with matching wrought iron fences surrounding. Perhaps this is some European style I've never seen -- note to self: research! 

Gardens are big, streets are lined with large shade trees, and there's lots of street parking. This town definitely has a laid back feel to it. 

There was actually one very cool Art Deco house in a fabulous location right at the waterfront circle!

Hotel Des Bains has a bar and a large restaurant attached, and all the exterior doorways are flanked by red enamled sphinxes -- not sure why, just sayin. The room is clean, the bathroom is huge and newly refitted, and a flock of pigeons live on my window sill, who I disturb when I open the shutters. And (score!) though I booked a Single, I've been given a Matrimonial bed. Both people I deal with at the desk speak excellent English, and they're really helpful giving recommendations.
