Villa Salomonio | 5-Bedroom Villa in castelraimondo – mc Marche

Twelve guests, five bedrooms, one sixteenth-century stone villa commanding the hills above Castelraimondo in the heart of Le Marche’s Province of Macerata. Villa Salomonio sits elevated above rolling countryside where ancient woodlands meet cultivated fields, offering the kind of rural silence that feels increasingly rare. This is not a villa that whispers about its age—the exposed ceiling beams, working fireplace, and thick stone walls announce it immediately.

Inside Villa Salomonio

Villa Salomonio sleeps 12 guests across 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms within 300 square metres of thoughtfully restored living space. The property operates across three distinct levels, each serving a different rhythm of the day.

Ground floor living unfolds around a working fireplace in the main living area, where the original masonry dominates the room. Adjacent is the kitchen—a farmhouse-style workspace fitted with both traditional and practical appliances: oven, hob, fridge-freezer, Moka pot for morning coffee ritual, and toaster. A separate dining room provides formal gathering space, while a full bathroom with shower, sink and WC serves this level.

The first floor houses all five bedrooms. Three rooms contain double beds, while two additional bedrooms each feature a combination arrangement: a double bed paired with a single bed, perfectly suited for families with younger children or mixed-age groups. All bedrooms benefit from neutral colour schemes and quality linens designed for proper rest. This floor also contains a substantial bathroom equipped with a full bathtub (shower attachment included), a separate shower cubicle, sink, bidet and WC—essential for managing the logistics of twelve guests.

Below ground level, the lower ground floor operates as the villa’s secondary social hub. A wine cellar features comfortable seating around a dining table, ideal for evening tastings or intimate group conversations. A laundry room with washing machine handles the practicalities of extended stays, while a third bathroom with shower, sink and WC completes the service level.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The real living happens outside. Villa Salomonio commands a landscaped garden spread across multiple levels, combining manicured lawn terraces with naturalistic plantings. A substantial private swimming pool measures 12 metres by 6 metres at 1.2 metres depth—adequate for genuine swimming rather than splashing, with heated water extending the season into shoulder months.

Sun loungers dot the poolside for the hours between breakfast and lunch. An open-air dining table catches afternoon light, while a covered dining terrace provides shelter for the inevitable sudden Mediterranean showers. The barbecue is not a token feature—it’s a proper grill where large groups can actually cook dinner simultaneously. Parking is available on the property, eliminating the car-shuffle problem that plagues hilltop villas.

The garden itself functions as a boundary-less transition between cultivated and wild landscape. You wake to mountain views. You eat dinner under local stars. Children play on grass while adults talk on the terrace. This is the kind of outdoor arrangement that justifies renting a large villa rather than booking multiple hotel rooms.

Location: Castelraimondo, MC and the Surrounding Area

Castelraimondo occupies a strategic position within Le Marche, positioned between the province’s inland attractions and its regional attractions. The village itself sits 5km downhill from Villa Salomonio and contains essential amenities: a pizzeria, traditional Italian eateries, and local shops adequate for daily needs. This proximity means you’re never truly remote, yet the villa maintains complete countryside isolation.

San Severino Marche, 12km south, transforms the dynamic entirely. This working town—not a tourist village—contains genuine markets, family-run restaurants serving proper regional food, independent shops, and a medieval historic centre worth an afternoon’s exploration. It operates at local pace, not visitor pace. Food markets operate weekday mornings; this is where locals actually shop.

The Frasassi Caves complex lies 34km northwest and represents the region’s single most significant underground attraction. The cave system extends for kilometres, with formations that date back geological epochs. Guided tours accommodate all fitness levels, from accessible lower chambers to more challenging upper sections. The experience suits families with children equally well as adult adventure-seekers—the caves maintain consistent temperature regardless of external weather.

Wine enthusiasts should visit the Il Pollenza estate, situated 32km away. This substantial wine producer offers cellar tours, vineyard walks, and structured tastings of their Vermentino and Montepulciano productions. Private, customised experiences can be arranged for villa groups. The estate grounds themselves warrant several hours exploration.

Monte San Vicino and Monte Canfaito nature reserve sprawls across the landscape directly north, crisscrossed with marked hiking routes. The terrain accommodates everything from easy countryside walks to serious mountain hikes. These mountains form the natural boundary of Le Marche’s interior plateau. Bike rental is available in nearby villages; the secondary roads climbing toward these peaks offer some of the region’s finest cycling routes—challenging without being extreme.

Seasonal timing matters. June through early September provides warm, dry days ideal for pool use and outdoor living—though August brings crowds to nearby coastal towns. May and September offer nearly identical weather with fewer visitors. Spring wildflowers peak in April and May across the hillside pastures. Winter brings reliable heating inside; this villa functions year-round, though the pool loses appeal from November through March.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families benefit from the space distribution: younger children can occupy the rooms with paired beds, teenagers can claim their own double bedrooms, parents and grandparents claim additional space. The wine cellar functions perfectly as a games room or quiet retreat without disturbing sleepers upstairs.

Friend groups of eight to twelve people find the villa’s layout ideal. The living areas separate naturally into smaller clusters—the main living room becomes one group’s base, the wine cellar becomes another’s evening gathering space, the pool terrace becomes a third. Everyone can co-exist without constant proximity.

Multi-generational groups—grandparents, adult children, grandchildren—appreciate the flexibility. The covered terraces mean someone can always find shelter for conversation while others swim. The fireplace provides winter appeal that pure beach villas cannot match.

Working groups, creative retreats, and small corporate gatherings find the rural location conducive to focus work, with reliable Wi-Fi and sufficient entertainment to prevent cabin fever in downtime hours.

Couples seeking a private base while hosting extended stays can occupy the upstairs master suite while guests occupy the other rooms.
