A large
partially restored palazzo in a
hilltop village in Le Marche
This interesting
property is in the centre of an attractive hilltop village at
400
metres above sea level but only 7 kms from the Adriatic
beaches, and 1 hour’s drive from the winter sports resorts in the Sibylline
mountains inland. It lends itself to development as a boutique hotel , or to be
divided into smaller apartments. The 15th Century tower is the
defining feature of the building and has been fully restored, with 4 floors each
of 40 sq.m. and a very attractive rooftop terrace with panoramic views toward
the sea and mountains. The tower is integrated with the main building which also
has 4 floors, each of 210 sq.m. The
ground floor at street level incorporates
2 garages, a wine cellar and other large utility and storage areas. Given
the ample space remaining on the 3 upper floors, these areas could be dedicated
for use as a wine bar, a
delicatessen or restaurant and opened to the general public as well as to the
guests or residents above.
The
1st or “noble” floor and the 2nd floor above it provide
the following living accommodation: kitchen, breakfast room, dining room, 2
sitting rooms, study, 3 reception rooms, 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and various
utility rooms. There are a number of interesting features such as inlaid parquet
floors and decorated “box” ceilings. The 4th floor has large and high
open rooms directly under the roof where the traditional chestnut beams and
terracotta tiles are visible.
Services and
other features
Mains water,
electricity, gas and drainage are laid on. All daily necessities are available
in the village and larger stores are in the vicinity of the regional capital
Ascoli Piceno,
which is about 15 minutes drive away. The nearest airports are Ancona and Pescara with
daily flights to London and other European
destinations.
