A prestigious country retreat in Staffolo Le Marche Nestled within the rolling hills of the Marche countryside, in the enchanting setting of the fertile Esino Valley, this charming semi-detached farmhouse has been exquisitely restored to offer an exceptional blend of authenticity, comfort, and refined elegance. Surrounded by just over one hectare of private land and crowned by a panoramic infinity swimming pool, the property enjoys a privileged position immersed in nature, where light, silence and open horizons create an atmosphere of rare harmony.

One of the bedrooms also features a charming mezzanine level, providing an additional sleeping area and enhancing the architectural interest of the space. Entirely restored starting in 2018, this remarkable farmhouse boasts high-quality finishes throughout, seamlessly blending traditional Marche craftsmanship with contemporary design. Sustainability has been a guiding principle of the entire project: two photovoltaic systems, installed on the roof and on the external pergola used as parking and charging station for electric vehicles and e-bikes, provide a total output of 7 kW, ensuring energy efficiency and environmental responsibility. Heating is supplied by a modern heat pump system and the thermo-fireplace, while the bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning. The carefully curated interiors reflect the owners passion for restoring antique furnishings and combining them with modern design elements, achieving a harmonious and elegant balance.
