Pesaro-Urbino

In the hills of Marche on the border with Umbria, in the heart of the Metauro Valley, restored medieval castle for sale. The property has been expertly maintained by the owners and converted into a beautiful B&B enjoying extreme peace and privacy in a very interesting and unspoiled natural environment. The dominant hilltop location ensures sunlight from sunrise to sunset.

The castle (a cluster of six buildings located at the southern edge of the hamlet) consists of a restaurant, large common rooms, ten guest bedrooms plus a lovely private apartment consisting of kitchen, living room and bedroom with bathroom. On the outside, the property retains its original appearance, with imposing stone walls and a characteristic paved alleyway running lengthwise through the entire hamlet. The interiors of the building, expertly restored, feature original elements such as fireplaces, stone floors, oak-beamed ceilings and stone sinks, all strictly original. The rooms on the lower floors, currently used as cellars and storage rooms (about 372 m²) could be exploited for the creation of additional common areas and/or wellness center for guests.

Surrounding the buildings are some 2,600 m² of paved gardens and patios, including a beautiful 8 × 4 m swimming pool with rounded edges, set in a very private and secluded corner of the property with a southeast orientation, surrounded by hedges and stone walls. Completing the property are 6,300 m² of fields and farmland.

Outside, the building is accompanied by 6,000 m² of well-kept garden and there is a project already approved for the construction of a swimming pool (which will be soon built by the owner). 

On the eastern side of the property, on the slope, 70 fruit trees have been planted and there is a mature olive grove (120 trees) that produces about 350 kg of extra virgin olive oil per year. The land (both the garden and the fruit trees) is fully irrigated.

The magic of this property is all about the huge views over the Adriatic Sea. This stunning contemporary villa for sale sits nestled into the hills with its infinity pool and private garden yet it is only a few kilometers from Pesaro (Capitale della Cultura 2024). The property (433 m², 5 beds) has been totally reconfigured to create a modern family home with great spaces for entertaining both inside and out. The design focus of the gardens is the turquoise tiled 12 × 5.5 m pool set into its own grassed sun terrace from where you can take in the vast sea views.

The villa is situated within a small residential enclave with good connections to amenities and 10 minutes by car to the center of Pesaro. Picturesque towns along the Romagna Riviera and quaint villages in the Marche hills (Gradara, Fano, Marotta, Cattolica, Rimini, Senigallia, Cesenatico, Ancona...) are all within an hour's drive.

HISTORY OF THE CASTLE

The castle, according to some recent studies, is supposed to date back to the 6th century AD and became an important bastion of the Siccardi family as early as the 11th century. In fact, the fort stands on a rise overlooking the Candigliano River valley and guards the road that in ancient times was the only communication artery through Massa Trabaria. In the first half of the 13th century the Siccardi were forced to subjugate the castle to the neighboring municipality, but the alliance was short-lived and several clashes ensued until Filippa Siccardi, despite strenuous resistance, was forced to hand the castle back to the municipality.

In 1388 the castle was in the hands of the Mastini family, of noble ancestry and always linked to the Germanic emperors. The next two hundred years are poor in detail and little is known about the castle until the second half of the 17th century when the castle was reported to be owned by the Berardi family.
