Property Description:

The Abbazia at Pieve dei Gratticioli in the Comune of Mercatello sul Metauro is a large historic church building in a location with panoramic views over the Appenines, close to the point where the borders of Le Marche, Tuscany and Umbria meet.
The church itself has a floor area of about 300 sq. metres, but its great height would allow for a mezzanine floor to be installed to provide substantial further living space. The apse at the outer end of the church requires structural consolidation. The remaining 700 sq.metres of buildings attached to the church have been fully restored to a high standard, in a manner which both respects the building’s historical origins and provides a maximum level of modern comfort. This area can be treated as a single home for family parties, but it also falls naturally into independent areas - the "Abbot's House", the Church, and 2 apartments - offering accommodation as follows.

Apartment 1 is at the lower level at the back of the building in what were the stables and consists of a kitchen, a sitting cum dining room opening onto a private terrace for outdoor eating, a library and music room, a bathroom with a large shower, and a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, overlooking the garden and gazebo. It is effectively an independent apartment.

Apartment 2 is reached by steps from the main terrace and consists of a sitting room, a double bedroom and bathroom.

The Abbot's House: the main body of the house is on 3 floors with the accommodation arranged as follows:

At ground floor level is the very large terrace which is one of the most attractive features of this property, offering ample space for outdoor living and entertaining. There is a pizza oven out on the terrace and an indoor kitchen and dining area are entered from it, as is the capacious wine cellar.

On the first floor there are : a sitting room, 2 double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms (one incorporates a double shower), and an additional house kitchen with an outdoor terrace overlooking the main one.

One the second floor are 3 double bedrooms, 1 with en suite bathroom, and a second bathroom shared by the 2 other bedrooms.
