4 bedrooms villa, 700 m²

Fossombrone, Pesaro and Urbino (province)

When the American continent was discovered in 1492, this historic villa was already partially built.A property which embodies  the truly italian Renaissance style  fully restored to its authenticity, it was built  in 1465 by Duke Federico of Urbino   ( architect  Francesco  di Giorgio Martini)  on older fondations. The building was originally located in the center of a hunting reserve called "Il Barco di Bellaguardia", which extended for about 100 hectares, surrounded by a wall of several kilometers and the adjacent river Candigliano. It is currently located on the border of the superstrada that leads from the coast to the Montefeltro areas. Ideally located 30 minutes from the Adriatic sea beaches, it can cover multiple needs both as prestigious residence and/or high quality tourist and hospitality retreat. To reach the entrance of the house and leave Fossombrone behind, you cross the famous Marmitte dei Giganti, huge and steep pools of water, created by the combination of the power of the Metauro river and the limestone ridge of the Cesana mountains. Environments of great scenic beauty. The property includes about 2 hectares of land. Old doors with their original locks lead us to the main house. Inside you breathe in ancient atmospheres, the rooms largely retain their original state.
