Palazzo Merletti, a 14th-century palace in the heart of Mercatello sul Metauro, stands as a masterpiece of Italian heritage. Located in the village’s main square, surrounded by the rolling hills of Montefeltro, this historic residence offers a timeless journey into the Renaissance. Its grand entrance leads through a graceful corridor to a serene inner garden, featuring roses, fruit trees, and ancient foliage. This is a tranquil retreat steeped in history.
The palace’s architecture reflects its medieval origins and Renaissance flourish, with elegant proportions and well-preserved details. Spanning approximately 1,600 square metres, it is divided into two wings, accessible via a polished stone staircase. The left wing houses a splendid piano nobile hall with high ceilings, hand-painted frescoes, and walls that echo centuries of Italian history. The right wing offers two floors of refined living spaces, blending historic charm with modern comforts, including arched doorways, ornate cornices, and tall windows overlooking the square and private gardens.
Meticulous restorations have preserved Palazzo Merletti’s authenticity while integrating contemporary amenities such as air conditioning, security systems, and high-speed connectivity. The palace features six luxurious double suites, each with unique character, some with frescoed walls or exposed beams, and modern en-suite bathrooms with marble finishes. Two kitchens (a modern chef’s kitchen and a traditional one with an antique fireplace) cater to both daily use and grand events, complemented by a formal dining room and informal sitting areas.
The secluded garden, framed by a vine-covered loggia, offers a perfect setting for al fresco dining or quiet reflection, while balconies provide views of the village and Apennine hills. This rare town-centre estate combines intimacy and grandeur, ideal as a private residence, boutique hotel, or cultural venue. Its versatility suits luxurious living, high-profile events, or institutional purposes, capitalising on the Marche’s growing appeal as a pristine destination known for truffles, wine, and unspoilt landscapes.
