Martese is a "frazione" (hamlet) in the commune of Rocca Santa Maria in the Province of Teramo, Italy.

It can be found just off the provincial highway (SP 48) that leads from Teramo to Ceppo [it] via Rocca Santa Maria and Bosco Martese.

In the waning days of feudalism, the Bishopric of Teramo came to have a great many land holdings in the area which were collectively known as the State of Bisegno.

Martese today is one of three villages (the other two being Serra and Tavolero) chosen by the Province of Teramo as sites for future touristic development.

As part of this large-scale project, data related to the architectural, environment, and touristic aspects of more than 50 nearby villages and locals were systematically gathered and painstakingly analyzed before deciding upon the exact locations to be developed.
