Enchanting Castle Luxury Farmhouse With Nine Guest Rooms

About the Property

An enchanting 13th-century castle, steeped in historical significance, stands amidst the gentle hills of the Marche region in Italy. This remarkable property, known as "The Exile of Dante Alighieri," encompasses approximately 1,000 square meters of refined luxury, distributed across six buildings, and is set within a 20,000 square meter estate. Located a short distance from Urbino, it offers a serene retreat, ideal for those seeking tranquility in nature. The castle, a pivotal site in Dante Alighieri's life, features a picturesque medieval tower and retains its historical and architectural integrity. The village surrounding the castle, perfectly restored, is characterized by dark stone houses and a charming 17th-century church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. The property has witnessed numerous historical events, including the fateful meeting on October 4, 1301, where the decision regarding Dante's exile was made. A plaque on the castle tower commemorates this significant moment. Transformed into a luxury organic farmhouse, the estate includes a restaurant inspired by Dante, nine guest rooms, each with private bathrooms, and an independent 170 square meter apartment. The interiors are adorned with antique fireplaces, stone floors, and wooden ceilings with exposed beams, preserving the historical charm of the structure. The windows offer enchanting views of the surrounding woods, while the secluded pool invites relaxation amidst the aromatic herbs and fruit trees that dot the landscape. The property is strategically located between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennines, making it an ideal base for exploring central Italy's rich tapestry of historical villages, castles, and beaches. Urbino, a Renaissance city of extraordinary beauty, lies nearby, alongside the ancient fortresses and manor houses of Montefeltro. Price: On application. Exclusive listing by Alba Luxury.
