Description of buildings

With two floors above ground and one below, Casale Silene is built from two separate units which have been carefully joined, in spite of their different exteriors, in traditional brick and plaster.

Having undergone total restoration which was completed in 2005, the house comprises the basement floor (approximately 106 sq.m in total) with a large multipurpose space, ideal as a games room, and a large cellar/storeroom.

The ground floor hosts an ample entrance, the large living room of around 60 sq.m  with fireplace, the kitchen, a living room, a guest bathroom for the floor and a double bedroom with private bathroom for potential staff.

An open staircase leads to the first floor where there is a central sitting room, on two staggered levels and with large French windows which open onto the terraces, and which acts as a connection point for access to the 5 bedrooms and the 4 bathrooms. 

State and finishing

Casale Silene, which was completely rebuilt in 2005, still has the charming architectural characteristics typical of Le Marche, with part of the external walls in original brick and the roof covering in antique tiles.

Inside, there are pretty brick floors, ancient doors which have been carefully restored with shaped solid wood cornicing and bathrooms with plank supported sinks.

The ceilings, which have also been rebuilt, feature beams and tiles or beams and planks, to retain the charm of a grand country house. 

External areas

A long lane flanked by flowering hedgerows leads to the villa, which is surrounded by around 7,000 sq.m of grounds with lawn, ancient trees and various local plants, all with walkways and tuff steps.

The large pool with hydrotherapy corner is a few metres from the villa, while a little further away there is a basketball court which could be converted into a tennis court.

Finally, the property includes approximately 3 hectares of land.   

Use and potential uses

The house, due to its proximity to Senigallia and the sea, would be perfect either as a main residence or as a holiday home.

With its size and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms the property would also be ideal as a small guest house. 

Distances and location

The Marches - Italy

Neighboring regions:  Tuscany, Umbria, Lazio, Emilia-Romagna, Abruzzo, Adriatic Sea and the Republic of San Marino

Main centers:  Ancona, Pesaro, Senigallia, Sirolo, Fano, Urbino, Gabicce Sea, Numana, San Benedetto of Tronto.

Characteristics: situated on the eastern side of Central Italy, the Marche region is overlooking the Adriatic Sea.

The Marche is known and appreciated for the beauty of the coasts (180 miles of coastline) with some fine sandy beaches, other with stones and gravel, and other also with steep rock faces that at times fall sheer into the sea, creating beautiful coves and creeks reachable only through small paths or by sea.

The territory is characterized by quaint historic villages and cities of art, by an important natural heritage rich in parks (Monti Sibillini, Gran Sasso-Monti della Laga, Conero, among others) and nature reserves and by the presence of the Apennines, which stretches out towards the sea creating a series of rolling hills. 

The climate is temperate in the coastal area, with relatively mild winters and summers that are cooled by sea breezes; in inland areas the summers are cool and winters are cold with possible snowfalls.

Property offer: the beautiful hilly territory of the Marche is particularly appreciated for its well-cared and intact countryside where you can still find characteristic farmhouses with prices which tend to be lower than in the regions of Umbria and Tuscany. Very requested are also the villas overlooking the sea in Fano, Pesaro, Senigallia, Sirolo, Numana, San Benedetto of Tronto.
