Housed in a grand country manor, this historic apartment offers a peaceful slice of Italian life that looks to be straight out of a painting. The magnificent building is surrounded by vast and verdant gardens, dotted with sculptures and home to a lounger-lined swimming pool. The collonaded entryway will make you feel like royalty, a sense which will continue as you step into your private abode.
The lavish pad is oozing with traditional features, from the intricately painted ceilings to the rustic terracotta-tiled floors. Antique furniture decorates the space and Renaissance-style tapestries hand on the walls. From the turquoise shuttered windows, you can look out over the manicured grounds and to the undulating hills beyond.
You'll need a car here, especially if you want to explore the beautiful landscape surrounding you. In just half an hour, you'll reach the city of Ancona and its sparkling white-sand beaches. Enjoy an invigorating swim in the Adriatic Sea before winding your way back to the magical estate you call home.
