The castle enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining close to essential services. Acqualagna is a 10-minute drive away, with Cagli just a little farther (13 km). Its strategic location provides easy access to both regions and the coastline, which is under an hour’s drive.

The main structure, the keep, spans 731 sqm (7,865 sqft) and includes five bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Positioned at the highest point, it features a reception area, a restored chapel, and extensive communal spaces, including a grand living room, dining area, and a kitchen.
