Detached house for sale in Saludecio

Historic building for sale in Saludecio – Renaissance residence from 1470 In the heart of Saludecio's historic center, in a dominant position and with two entrances, one from the central Via Roma and the parallel street, stands the prestigious Palazzo Albini, a building dating back to 1470 that first belonged to the Della Rovere family and, from the 18th century, to the noble Modesti family. The main entrance leads to a large portico that leads to the elegant internal cloister, an architectural feature inspired by Urbino. At the center stands the ancient stone well, embellished with a rare double pulley system, designed based on studies attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, to lift water to the upper floors. The 18th-century Modesti coat of arms is still visible on the well. Before entering the palace, we walk along a picturesque path that leads to the caves below, originally used for the extraction of building materials and later converted into cellars: a unique space where large barrels and tools for processing grapes still stand. Local legend has it that these caves extend beneath the entire village, forming a fascinating system of underground tunnels. On the ground floor, parts of the original floors and elegant 15th-century stucco work, crafted in the same style as the Ducal Palace in Urbino, are preserved. The master kitchen features a magnificent fireplace from 1470, the work of the same craftsman who created several fireplaces in the famous Palazzo di Paolo e Francesca in Gradara. Several internal staircases lead to the first and second floors, where a succession of rooms, halls, and spaces of great historical charm await. The second floor features a panoramic terrace from which, on clear days, the view encompasses the Riviera from the Marche region to Ravenna. The property includes a private garden of approximately 100 square meters, ideal for moments of relaxation and total privacy. With a total floor area of approximately 900 square meters, structural solidity, and exceptional historical and artistic value, this building represents a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs or investors wishing to create a charming residence, a boutique hotel, or an exclusive B&B with suites and mini-apartments with timeless charm. The presence of cellars and spacious common areas also lends itself perfectly to the project of creating a wine bar offering tastings of local products. Saludecio lies in the rolling hills of the Conca Valley, on the border between the Marche and Romagna regions, in an area rich in medieval villages, scenic roads, and unspoiled countryside. The mild climate, serene landscape, and proximity to the Riviera Romagnola make this area one of the most popular in the Rimini hinterland. In recent years, an increasing number of foreign buyers—attracted by the quality of life, history, and charm of small villages—have chosen Saludecio to invest in luxury residences or to relocate permanently, contributing to a vibrant, culturally rich, and international atmosphere. Saludecio is thus an ideal place for those seeking beauty, tranquility, and authenticity, without sacrificing the convenience of services and proximity to the sea.
