If your plans call for running a Marche-based tourism business, there’s a unique property that’s ready to turn your plans into reality.  There’s a property 5 minutes from the bustling centro storico of Sarnano that’s perfect for your plans.  It’s fully habitable in its current state, but can be easily and efficiently upgraded to reach its full potential.  In Italian a place for holiday-making and vacations is called a “soggiorno”…hence, we call this Marche property Casa Soggiorno, 

As it’s name suggests Casa Soggiorno is ideally suited to the task.  It allows you to immediately get going with your business while it can, with some upgrades, be taken to another level in the near future.  Casa Soggiorno is a big, 3-story building with 5 apartments with an ideal layout and an ideal location for getting your tourism business moving.

The totals here are impressive:

•   3  Floors
•   5  Apartments
• 12  Bedrooms
•   6  Bathrooms
•   5  Kitchens
•   4  Terraces
•   1  Hectare of Land

On the ground floor there’s a single, big apartment.  It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, as well as a kitchen and lounge with fireplace with direct access to the garden.  On the first and second floors there are 2 apartments each.  Each of these has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen/lounge, a fireplace and a private terrace.

In their current state, the apartments are done in a simple, basic style.  They’re all clean, neat and functional.  Note that each apartment has its own boiler for heat and hot water.

Casa Soggiorno is in very good structural condition.  Its foundations and frame are done to anti-seismic building regulations.  Upside is found in the form of an accessory building of around 35-40 sqm. that can be demolished and rebuilt for residential or utility use.

As we mentioned, with some upgrades, Casa Soggiorno can be taken to another level.  Keep in mind that these are not “mandatory” upgrades, but, instead, options to consider to improve the overall esthetic appeal and rental attractiveness of your business.  First, the exterior – today it’s a grayish rendered plaster.  A more rustic, traditional color choice, a “terracotta” or a “mustard” color, for example, would be a significant upgrade.  So too would some new shutters.  Moving inside, with very little money and effort, you could modernize and upgrade the bathrooms and kitchen.  Various Italian suppliers and IKEA have excellent kitchens with multi-year guarantees/warranties that cost under €2500.  Bathroom fixtures and materials of Italian manufacture are widely available at low cost.  So, when we suggest upgrades they’re not budget-busters.  And, we remind you again, that Casa Soggiorno is ready to go TODAY, so these suggestions should be considered as optional today, or, as something to consider in the future.

Casa Soggiorno’s plot is around 1 hectare of mostly flat, usable land, ideal for placing a pool to maximum effect.  You’ll find lots of shade trees on the plot, including oaks, as well as fig, olive and walnut trees.  Access to the plot is easy and direct from a town-maintained road.  The plot has terrific views…off to one side are BIG views of the majestic Sibillini Mountains, and to another there’s a straight-on view of the towers of hilltop town, Sarnano.  The plot is private but not isolated.  The house and plot enjoy full-day sun, meaning that it will be easy to optimize placement of future terraces, BBQs and the pool for your business and personal enjoyment.

Casa Soggiorno is under 5 minutes from BUSTLING Sarnano, one of Central-Marche’s most appreciated hill-towns.  You could walk to town or easily cycle there.  Sarnano boasts multiple restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, small shops, hotels and a lively civic and cultural life.  Sarnano hosts multiple festas throughout the year ranging from culinary events to an annual car race up to the mountain peak of Sassotetto.  Sarnano is a gateway to the Sibillini National Park.  This means that all manner of 4-season sports and activities are available to you – serious road cycling, gravel, road and eBike excursions, paragliding, hiking and trekking, camping and even some winter skiing.  If you, or your lodging guests, love nature and great outdoor activities, Casa Soggiorno’s location is outstanding and is ideally suited for renting to groups of cyclists, hikers and skiers!  In fact, with all there is to see, sample and sip in this area of Le Marche, Casa Soggiorno’s guests will never be lacking for fun things to discover.

While we love nearby Sarnano, there’s lots more to enjoy from your base at Casa Soggiorno.  In 15 minutes, you’re in elegant Amandola.  Hill-towns San Ginesio and Sant’Angelo are also 15 minutes away.  In 30 minutes you’re at the Fiastra Abbey Nature Preserve with walking/cycling trails, restaurant, picnic lawns and golf driving range.  In 45 minutes you’re at the beach…same goes for the amazing piazza of Ascoli Piceno.  There are multiple hill-towns and small cities within 15-30 minutes and the distance to the Ancona airport is 1:15.

So, if you’re ready to run that perfect vacation spot here in Le Marche, a soggiorno to remember, you’ve found the right spot at Casa Soggiorno.
