See on Scoop.it - Vacanza In Italia - Vakantie In Italie - Holiday In Italy



Monterado Castle, charming boutique hotel for holidays in the hills of Marche. Unforgettable luxury outdoor weddings in a 19th-century church.

This ancient residence is perched on top of one of the many hills characterizing 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.

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
