1025 / Vita da castellani / Castelvecchio

The pursuit of independence has been the dream of every population. The castle was so destroyed by the population at the end of 1200. Democracy was pushing on and with the stone of the decayed Count were used to build dwellings for the population. Nowdays the elevated position has lost its usefulness for defence and has became a belvedere on Sarnano and on the beautiful mountains. The small hamlet, wanted by the XXIII century population, has now come back to life thanks to a man that has made it its dream. His passion for ancient building has brought about the restoring of this fortified hamlet. The ancient passages and the city walls have been restored and everything has preserved the traditional characteristic it owned in origin. Regard for the past has convinced the architect that designed the tower to choose for a building that is in shape, traditional, but made with modern materials. The outside staircases that lead to the upper apartments are characteristic of Le Marche rural architecture, the ancient walls and the modern looking tower offer an harmonic outlook to the hamlet. The Sibillini mountains overlook the place that stands in front of the beautiful village of Sarnano. The apartments are on sale provided with windows, floor tiling, central heating and bathroom. As for the forniture…the choice is all yours. There is a wide range of solutions to choose from: single room that opens on the square, a panoramic apartment on the tower, one looking on the Sibillini mountains and one with views on the countryside. Cars, except if there is any specific need, is to be left outside, just where the lift bridge used to be. The quiet of the “habitants of the castle” won’t be disturbed. Sarnano is just one km off. Please remember that Sarnano is much loved by tourists thanks to its history, to the closeness to ski slopes, to the thermal baths and for all the leisure activities organized by the City Council. In case you would like to lend it sometime in the year you wouldn’t have problems in finding someone. Especially when the swimming pool will be installed…
