Description
In the medieval village of Monterone, between Tuscany and the Marche region, in an authentic and private historical setting, we are offering for sale a period residence of rare charm, characterized by the harmonious coexistence of two architectural styles: 18th-century elegance and medieval simplicity. Access to the property is via a shared entrance hall serving three units; a gate and a private staircase lead to the first floor, dominated by a spacious living room. The room features arched ceilings and original 18th-century frescoes, and opens onto a balcony with a panoramic view of the Tuscan hills and the Alpe della Luna. Adjacent to the living room is the oldest, medieval part of the house, where a dining room features an imposing 15th-century fireplace, connected to a functional and fully equipped kitchen. The sleeping area on this level includes two double bedrooms and a master bedroom with frescoed walls and ceilings, featuring a private en suite bathroom and a second bathroom serving the entire first floor. On the upper floor, the structure retains the character of a medieval castle, featuring recently restored wooden-beamed ceilings and terracotta tiles. This level includes two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and another room with the necessary infrastructure in place to create a wellness area with a sauna. On the ground floor, there are cellars. The property underwent a meticulous restoration in the early 2000s. Among the major renovations were the removal and subsequent reinstallation of the original flooring to accommodate a modern underfloor heating system, the reconstruction of the roof with the restoration of the beams, and the renovation of the historic doors. The new interior shutters were faithfully modeled after those of the Ducal Palace in Urbino. The property is complemented by a small outdoor area where you can relax in the shade of the orchard. The Grand Duke of Tuscany would sometimes stop here to rest, as the east-facing location offers a unique microclimate. This property is ideal for those seeking absolute peace.

Monterone is located in the municipality of Sestino, in the province of Arezzo, on the border between Tuscany and the Marche region. The village can be reached by following the course of the Foglia River and is just a few kilometers from the town of Sestino. Despite its seclusion and the absolute peace that characterizes it, Monterone is not far from some of central Italy’s most important cultural centers. Urbino is about 45 kilometers away, while Pesaro is about 60 kilometers away. A little further away, Rimini is about 65 kilometers away. For those traveling by plane, the nearest airport is Federico Fellini Airport in Rimini, about 60 kilometers away. The airports in Ancona-Falconara, Perugia, and Florence are also easily accessible, all within a radius of 55–60 kilometers. The natural landscape surrounding Monterone is that of the Alpe della Luna, an area of great scenic beauty that offers opportunities for hiking and experiencing nature at its most authentic. Its location on the border between two regions makes this village an ideal starting point for exploring both Tuscany and the Marche, with their medieval villages and unspoiled landscapes.
