This working agriturismo in the heart of the Cesane Park, just a few minutes from the medieval city of Urbino, is an authentic Italian rural idyll. Stunning landscape and a beautifully restored, large rambling farmhouse with approximately 24 Ha of land. Guests can choose from 5 apartments in the main house, each with its own kitchen/diner and independent entrance. The owner's accommodation, the largest of all, has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a very comfortable open plan kitchen drawing room.

Just a stone's throw from the main house, are the stables, the 20m X 40m riding arena and paddocks. The stables have 7 boxes, a saddle room, a bathroom and plenty of extra storage room as well as photovoltaic panels on the roof that provide electricity, some for the property and some that is sold to the grid. The unspoiled and picturesque land is easily managed and consists mainly of pasture and arable with some vineyards and woodland.

On the ground floor, on the other hand, there is a splendid professional standard kitchen, currently used for gourmet retreats and a large recreation or gallery room, which would be perfect for yoga. Outside, the ample garden contains a 5m x 10m heated, saltwater pool surrounded by wooden decking, a pool house and a covered outside kitchen with a traditional wood oven. This property is managed by a local couple that welcome guests to the property throughout the year for a variety of cultural activities - they would be happy to stay on should the new owners want to maintain the income.

Some homes are genuinely unique and this is definitely one of them: on top of a hill, with a 360° view of the surrounding valleys, this estate will be your private retreat in Italy, far from chaos and hidden from view. The property extends to over 600 sq.m. accommodation with wonderful reception rooms, including an amazing drawing room with majestic fireplace, 8 large bedrooms and a private chapel. All this is surrounded by 1 hectare of land, which will guarantee you maximum privacy as well as breathtaking views over Le Marche countryside. The Main Building The construction of the original building dates back to the 1600s; lately in 1770 it was internally remodelled and turned into a sumptuous residence, with stone fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, ornamental stuccoes, painted canvases and frescoes. The latest renovation was carried out in 2004. The main building covers a total area of about 609 sq.m. divided into 3 units: The noble villa is set over two floors with a grand double entrance from the front and back garden. This hall leads to several areas of the house: 2 doors have access to a number of rooms now used as storages and cellars, which need restoration and may be converted into exceptional reception rooms. A grand staircase in precious pietra serena leads up to the noble floor. To the right of the landing, you get into the large dining area and kitchen; to the front you enter the majestic living room with double height ceiling and an amazing stone fireplace, used in the past to warm up the room. It was probably the reception room where the most important guests were welcomed. From here you get to the parlour, a lovely and cozy room, with stucco ceilings, now equipped with a piano and a few armchairs: it’s a more informal room compared to the previous one, where you can sit and relax. A long corridor is the connection to the 3 bedrooms, 2 of which with en-suite bathroom. All the bedrooms are extremely spacious and have precious vaulted ceilings. The corridor is also connected to a guest bathroom and a lovely studio, furnished with solid wood furniture. Some areas of the villa feature original materials and elements, such as the terracotta floors at the entrance, the stone staircase and some doors. Air con has been added in the bedrooms and main living room, to grant an ideal temperature in the summer. The other 2 units are additional and independent apartments: one is the guardian’s home with kitchen/living room, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms; the second one is composed of 2 bedrooms, a kitchen/living room and a bathroom. The three units are completely independent but with some minor works, they can be all rejoined together to get a 609 sq.m. single, majestic villa. The Annexes The property comes with a number of annexes, all used as storages, cellars and canopy. Upon application at the local municipality, they may be converted into something else and possibly used as pergolas, summer kitchen and other useful and enjoyable external spaces. The Church This luxurious property in Marche, being a noble palazzo, also enjoys a private church dedicated to San Michele Arcangelo. The church dates back to the middle ages and was then renovated in the 18th century; some stuccos remain from this restoration. Here the rural functions were initially held, but when the property became a noble palace, the church became private and hosted important bishops, one of whom became pope. The church is still consecrated, so it can be used for private functions of the owner family. The Land The extensive lawned gardens are surrounded by mixed wooded areas and parkland. In all 1,05 hectares, all fenced. At the back of the house, the 10 x 5m swimming pool is located. This is an amazing leisure area, all flat, where you can place your sun loungers for a sunbath; at the same time the good number of trees guarantee natural and cool shade. It is the perfect area also to place a table to dine out under the trees. From the garden you can enjoy a wonderful view over the valleys of region Marche, as well as over Monte Catria. During clear days you can see the sea from a distance. The Location Located on a hilltop in the province of Pesaro, the noble palazzo enjoys an enviable position on the edge of the village, which makes everyday life easy and comfortable. In town you can find all services and enjoy La Dolce Vita by sitting at a bar for an aperitif or having dinner in one of the quality local osterias. This area is known worldwide for being a perfect mix of culture and nature: as a matter of facts, in just 30 minutes by car you can reach the most beautiful places in Montefeltro for a cultural tour, as well as the coast for a day at the beach and the Apennines for hiking lovers. Why Buy It The first reason to fall in love with this splendid property in the heart of Marche is its ancient history, which is lost in time, but which has left deep traces and memories in the area.
