The Salino Country House which has been renovated with
expertise is to be found in the midst of the green hills of the Marche
region, and situated in the county of Contro at about 3 km from
Gualdo ( 650 metres above
sea-level), a medieval town in the province of Macerata and part of the ‘Comunità
Montana dei Monti Azzurri’ ( The Mountain Community of the Blue
Mountains). The country house was built in various phases from the end of
the nineteenth century onwards, following the expansion of the patriarchal
family as was traditional in the rural society of that period. The
renovation, completed in 2007, was undertaken leaving unaltered the
structural and environmental characteristics typical of this rural area
through the retrieving of building materials and the use of regional stone,
wood, tiles, and cork amongst others.
The farmhouse, from which there is a beautiful view of the
countryside, stands on a strip of land of approximately one hectare, on a
hillside that runs gently down to the stream named ‘Salino’, from which the
property takes it’s name. The construction, which provides every comfort, is
composed of the farmhouse and an annex with a swimming pool, able to sleep
15 people in a mini apartment, a one-room flat and four rooms, as well as a
communal living area composed of a polyvalent lounge, a dining-room and a
kitchen. Also included are a large garden, a car park and an olive grove.
The
homestead furnishing creates a rural atmosphere which is at the same time
refined, thus transmitting a family-type welcoming environment ideal for
those looking for a relaxing and regenerative holiday.
