This fabulous castle, part of a small medieval village famous for being the place where the exile of Dante Alighieri was decided, stands among the enchanting hills of the Marche region. This castle of great historical importance is today an organic agritourism resort of extreme luxury and charm for sale in the Marche region, not far from Urbino. The castle consists of six buildings spread over several levels and covers an area of 1,000 square meters. It also has a private garden of 3,000 sqm, enriched by a wonderful hidden swimming pool. This fortified village has recently been restored, preserving its original architectural and historical features.
This ancient village has a typical medieval tower, rows of houses made of dark stone, and the small seventeenth-century church of San Giovanni Battista in the center, surmounted by a modest bell tower. This jewel-village was one of the fortifications that made up the defense system of the small surrounding province. In 1250 as many as 41 localities belonged to the Province, not all under the same lord, indeed often in bloody disputes with each other. The castle saw a succession of historical events: the victorious war of Uguccione della Faggiola against Branca Brancaleoni in 1353, the return of the defeated, the dominion of Cardinal Albornoz. The most noteworthy, as a plaque placed in the tower at Castello della Pieve recalls, "Charles of Valois and Corso Donati, on 4 October 1301, decided the exile of Dante Alighieri", according to tradition, dating back to the "Cronica" by Dino Compagni, the meeting that decided Dante's exile from Florence was held here, attended by Charles of Valois and the Florentine nobleman Corso Donati, head of the black Guelphs.
Today, this splendid property has found new life thanks to its conversion into a luxury agritourism resort, offering the ideal destination for those who wish to get away from the chaos of the cities and enjoy bucolic landscapes. The village has a stone-paved road that crosses it longitudinally between the houses and the tower, until you reach an arch that closes the village, joining two houses. On the houses you can admire the rustic railings and some doors decorated with typical wood carvings.
The castle, part of the medieval village, where Dante Alighieri's exile was decided, includes stone buildings, an ancient tower and a consecrated church, which dominate enchanting little forests with their fascinating charm. The restaurant inside the resort and the rooms for hospitality use, nine in total, each with a private bathroom, are dedicated to the Great Poet. The property also includes an independent apartment of 170 sqm. The interior spaces are characterized by ancient fireplaces and stone floors of great architectural value, precious ceilings with exposed oak beams and ancient stone sinks. The decor, with attention to the smallest details, comprises collections of period objects and furniture, valuable paintings and prints. From the windows, you can admire splendid views of the surrounding forests. The exposed beams, the ceilings in slabs or panels and the local stone walls, alternating with plastered areas with warm colors, give an authentic and welcoming atmosphere. The swimming pool, in a private position, offers an enchanting view and its crystal clear waters reflect the majestic rocks on which the Castle stands. All around, an atmosphere permeated by the scent of wild roses, aromatic herbs and luxuriant fruit trees.
Immersed in luxuriant forests, this valley in the northernmost province of the Marche region is a strategic point, extending from the Adriatic Sea to the Apennines and bordering Romagna, Tuscany and Umbria. It is an ideal area from which to explore central Italy, a land of wonders. Along the coast there are beaches overlooking hills full of ancient villages and castles. Going up towards the Apennine mountains, you come across Urbino, a Renaissance town of rare beauty, and continue towards Montefeltro where you meet ancient villages, historic fortresses and princely palaces.

This property is ideal for a beautiful getaway in your own little village style taste of Italian culture. I personally love it.
It's a stunning property - Stefanie
Stefanie, you consistently come up with absolute gems and this stunning property is no exception. Beautifully restored to preserve the rich history of the place yet maintaining a homely and welcoming feel. ❤️

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Stunning, I could envisage living there

This property would definitely make for a great boutique resort. I’d go as far as to include a bakery and maybe a winery….
It would be a perfect use for it! I love the idea of a bakery and winery! :) - Stefanie
The brief historical narrative is a great addition. Not only does it add value to the property but it also spark interest. It actually nudged me to read up about Dante. Interestingly enough, I learned that Dante’s Divine Comedy was somewhat instrumental to C.S.Lewis’ transition from atheism to theism which many believe paved the way for his eventual conversion to Christianity. Who would’ve thought? God does work in mysterious ways🙏 Thanks, Stefanie- you’ve done it again👏 Got yourself a happy subscriber here!
That is very interesting I didn't know that... you always learn something new - Stefanie
It’s no wonder why this is one of my favorite real estate channels!!! This is totally charming!!! I see this as a wedding venue, or simply with a variety of great commercial potentials…if purchased as a private home, these folks are going to be in great physical condition, plenty of hills and stairs
A pool etc, so definitely one can enjoy the real Italian cuisine as was originally intended🎆 no counting, calories, carbs, etc…greetings and blessings to you all from the Caribbean 🌞🌴🐬🌺🐳😇🍍🍹😽

I greatly enjoyed the dining room shown in the video, as well as the graceful manner in which the presenter revealed the charms of this recently restored residence. Her presentation truly embodies the beauty worthy of being described in the immortal words of Dante in his Divine Comedy. 👏🏼

It’s incredible. The tour was excellent and we appreciate the history. Some of the rooms are huge. Do they get hot in summer?
I'm very glad that you enjoyed the property tour! Actually the rooms maintain quite a pleasant temperature thanks to the thick stone walls and the elevated position ensuring a cooler temperature compared to other areas - Stefanie
My real estate
It's a lovely castle - Stefanie
How do you say, "WOW!" in Italian?
It is the same :) WOW... I'm glad you enjoyed the property tour - Stefanie
Dante, the man who invented hell.
A great man, father of Italian literature - Stefanie
Beautiful place. Castle….that’s a stretch.
It is a Medieval castle used for defence purposes... The concept of fairytale castles came later on - Stefanie
Is the whole Borgo for sale? 🤔😉
half of it is for sale with us - Stefanie
A future yoga, painting or writers retreat
That would be a great idea! :) - Stefanie
Doesn't really look like a castle tbh.
Well it is a Medieval fortress.... At the time castles were not what we immagine in fairytales those came after - Stefanie
Breathtaking property
It's a stunning castle - Stefanie
