Castello di Monterado

Hospitality is a tradition in our family, which we are eager to continue and share with others.

We have therefore decided to open up our home to guests and to offer you the opportunity to residein a castle, rich in history and legacy. This ancient residence is perched on top of one of the many hills characterizin the Marche, it is surrounded by an Italian-style garden and a vast wood. The views are truly charming, they extend over the Cesano valley, stretching from the Appennines to the Adriatic sea. We are delighted to invite you into our lavish halls and suites, adorned by the exquisite nineteenth century frescoes of Corrado Corradi, one of the most renowned artists of our region. Here, in this noble castle, Prince Maximilian de Beauharnais, nephew of Napoleon the first, chose to spend his honeymoon after the celebration of his marriage to the daughter of Czar Alexander of Russia. The inside of the palace was decorated, upon his order, for the important occasion. The former cellars, built within the bastions of the castle, consisting of spacious galleries with vaulted ceilings, open up to the garden. These refined and impressive surroundings have been restored to bring them back to their ancient beauty. We look forward to welcoming you into the peaceful and authentic traditional atmosphere of the Marche country life. We are strongly attached to our castle, the nearby hamlet and its surrounding countryside. It is a true pleasure for us to greet you to spend some time in our family home for an unforgettable holiday. Welcome to Monterado, Orlando and Kira

Un bosco, una castello, una antica cappella. Meravigliose stanze che ricordano una storia d'amore. Un gioiello romantico di altri tempi, dove la storia incontra atmosfere uniche e irripetibili. Un luogo esclusivo che vi apre le porte perchè possiate regalarvi un soggiorno indimenticabile rilassandovi a bordo piscina, passeggiando in un territorio incontaminato, rivivendo atmosfere regali.

In questa nobile residenza, il principe Massimiliano di Beauharnais, nipote di Giuseppina Bonaparte, moglie di Napoleone I°, scelse di trascorrere la sua luna di miele dopo il matrimonio con la figlia dello Zar Alessandro di Russia. Fu lui a far decorare riccamente l’interno del palazzo. Circondato da un giardino all’italiana e un vasto bosco di piante secolari, sorge sulla sommità di un tipico poggio marchigiano.

Dalle stanze del castello si gode un panorama suggestivo: la vista spazia dolcemente sulle colline circostanti e sulla valle del Cesano, che risale dalla riva del mare Adriatico verso le cime degli Appennini.

Sarà per noi una gioia aprirvi le ampie sale e le suites, tutte riccamente affrescate ai primi dell’ottocento da Corrado Corradi, uno dei più apprezzati pittori marchigiani.

Benvenuti. Orlando e Kira
