Peaceful Location Surrounded by Ancient History at Every View
1 x Studio and Two x 2 Bedroom Apartments
|
|
Located on a natural lookout, 750 metres above sea level, with splendid views over Sellano and the little villages surrounding the green valley below, the Vallemela Residence stands in the walled hamlet of Montesanto, which during the 15th Century was an imposing castle on the border between the Duchy of Spoleto and the Dukedome of Camerino. Admiring the wall surrounding the castle and the church you can still recognize the remains of its past splendour. Divided into three apartments, the house is an excellent example of the harmony between past and present: externally the property retains its original architectural features (solid walls, squared stones, arches and little windows) while the interior has been carefully restored combining a seductive atmosphere of warmth and comfort with a great sense of history. Guests can enjoy the breathtaking view over the valley from a well-tended garden where it is easy to find a secluded spot to read a book or drink a glass of fine wine.

Guest comments
I cannot say how highly we rated this property, it is a real joy to have stayed there. It's highly specified with everything we would expect at a home from home. The peaceful and rural landscape are exactly what anyone needs to unwind from a hectic and often stressful modern life. We will definately return and our plans are steering toward staying at Vallemella in Montesanto next summer. A great base, a great welcome - thanks for being there!' -
