Commanding a breathtaking, elevated position in the heart of the medieval village, this magnificent historical estate stands as an authentic jewel of Marche's aristocratic heritage. Built upon early medieval foundations, the palace was masterfully redesigned in 1732 following the architectural drawings of the legendary Luigi Vanvitelli. In the 19th century, the castle reached its imperial peak under Napoleonic rule, when Prince Maximilien de Beauharnais (grandson of Empress Joséphine Bonaparte) transformed it into a lavish private palace to celebrate his honeymoon with the daughter of the Russian Czar.

Following a meticulous contemporary restoration, the fortress functions today as an elite boutique hotel and a high-end venue for private celebrations and milestone weddings. The estate is enclosed within a sprawling, 17-acre private botanical parkland—featuring ancient pines, monumental oaks, and a historic 300-year-old Cedar of Lebanon—complemented by a classical Italianate walled garden. From its elevated ramparts, the property frames dual panoramas, looking out across the rolling rural hills towards the dramatic Adriatic coastline near Senigallia.

The palace’s versatile layout flows seamlessly across grand reception rooms, atmospheric vaulted galleries, and highly private residential quarters:
- The Grand Staterooms: The main noble floor houses a stunning enfilade of light-filled heritage rooms. The crown jewel is the Hall of the Four Seasons, decorated with museum-grade 19th-century frescoes that subtly blend snow-covered Russian landscapes with local countryside details. This level is enriched by a historical Billiards Room, a Private Library, and a formal Breakfast Room.
- The Vaulted Subterranean Galleries: Built beneath soaring original terracotta brick vaults, the recently restored former wine cellars open directly onto the lower rampart lawns, providing a dramatic, high-capacity indoor backup environment for gala banquets and corporate summits.
- The Residential Suites & Apartments: Features premium, bespoke guest suites adorned with original historical frescoes by master painter Corrado Corradi, alongside fully equipped, independent private apartments integrated with high-speed Wi-Fi and modern amenities.
- The Gated Grounds & Private Chapel: The property boasts an intimate, private on-site consecrated chapel for romantic boutique ceremonies. Outdoors, estate life centers around a panoramic summer swimming pool hidden away within the quiet sanctuary of the ancient woods.
