Historic Noble Palace "Palazzo Spagnoli" for Sale in Montefortino, Fermo, Marche, Italy

This 17th-century noble residence, known as Palazzo Spagnoli, underwent a conservative restoration and structural consolidation in November 2001, aimed at preserving its historical and artistic identity while avoiding the use of materials or technologies foreign to the building's original character.
Its location and the irregular stonework on the valley-facing façade suggest that the palace was created by merging several smaller structures, possibly incorporating an ancient tower or fortified wall within the 17th-century building - likely of Iberian origin, as indicated by the rich decorative repertoire found in its interiors.

Like all noble palaces of Montefortino, the property features an internal well for collecting and storing rainwater.
The palace extends over four levels, covering approximately 1,000 sqm in total.
The cellars, located on the basement levels with vaulted ceilings, are particularly striking.
The residential floors, on the first and second levels, feature frescoes on both walls and ceilings, as well as painted solid-wood doors, giving the property exceptional artistic and historical value.

Although it was restored in 2001, the building sustained structural damage during the 2016 earthquake.
However, a major public grant exceeding €1,000,000 has been approved for its reconstruction and seismic upgrading.

The works are expected to begin shortly, with an estimated completion time of 18 months.

The Sale price includes the property fully restored, in compliance with modern anti-seismic standards, with all the original hand-painted solid-wood doors (already restored and stored safely) to be reinstalled - their combined value exceeding €200,000.

Given its architectural beauty and central location, the palace is perfectly suited for use as a boutique accommodation, cultural venue, or conference centre.

Since the building is protected under the Italian Cultural Heritage regulations, the regional authority has expressed a favourable opinion on the adaptation of the interiors for hospitality use, including the installation of bathrooms for guest rooms, provided that interventions are carried out respectfully and in harmony with its historic character.
