accommodation Villa Fontalba. Set in a peaceful and elegant landscaped park, surrounded by the beauty of the rolling hills of the Marche you will find Villa Fontalba. The estate is a historical and elegant castle. It is just the place to relax while discovering this region.
The castle’s central tower dates to the first half of the VI century and was used by the Byzantines to defend the ancient Roman bridge of the Flaminian Way. Historically, this area was the scene of numerous bloody battles between the Goths and Byzantines. A small part of the old Roman Flaminian Way is now privately integrated into Fontalba’s park.
At the end of XVIII century the building was turned into an elegant manor house and much of the Italian style garden remains faithful to its original landscaped design.
