The Annex
Attached to the house, there’s an independent apartment for the guardian, which measures about 100 sq.m. and integrates perfectly with the villa, to the extent that you hardly notice this additional space. This apartment is composed of a kitchen, sitting/dining room, 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. The Garage Detached from the house and with an independent access from a secondary gate, you can find the 140 sq.m. garage, excellent if you have several cars. Of course, part of it it may be also used as a storage for the gardening tools. Located in a detached position compared to the main villa, and being built underground you can hardly notice it and from the villa or from the garden and pool, you can’t hear the noise of the cars arriving and leaving the property.

The Private Chapel
As most of the noble villas in Marche, and in Italy in general, the property features a lovely private chapel dated 1868. It is still consecrated, so you can organize your private religious ceremonies here, while the villa and the garden will be the perfect setting for the banquet and party.

The Land
The property is surrounded by a 3.2 hectares of land, partly wood, partly planted with 110 olive trees and other century old trees; the rest is enjoyable garden. Access is via a gated entry, with private lane leading to the front of the villa. While driving the lane, on your right you can see a flat, grassy area, where a small football field has been arranged. To the back, there’s the formal garden with classical statues and a breathtaking view over Pesaro and the Adriatic Sea. Here’s where the private chapel is located. A play of ups and downs with stone steps connects the various levels of the garden. On a lower level, facing west, overlooking the Pesaro hills, there is the huge swimming pool (160 sq.m.), with ample space for sun loungers and deck chairs. Underground, there are several rooms to be used as toilets, showers and storage.

The Location
The location of this exceptional property is one of the most prestigious ones: behind the city of Pesaro, in an extremely private hilly position and surrounded by other villas, reaching the restaurants, shops and services in general is a matter of seconds.

The villa enjoys an extremely private position thanks to the location, the size of the park and the natural screen of the trees, but amenities are close by. The area is highly residential, with other notable villas nearby. The nearest restaurants are just 2km away, the Adriatic coast 7km, Pesaro and all its exclusive clubs, designer clothes shops, theatrEs and concert halls is only 4km away.

Why Buy It
The reasons for buying a villa like this are many: its historicity, its beauty, its grandeur, its position. As a matter of facts, in Marche, it is not always easy to find historical and very spacious villas for a large family or to welcome friends. The location so close to the sea and to a large city like Pesaro makes it the perfect residence for an important family: the proximity to the city and to the communication routes allows you to go to work quickly, to spend a weekend at the beach, or simply relax by the pool in total tranquility and privacy, before going out for a classy dinner in town.
