Houses with a fireplace have a special warmth and charm that give a wonderful sense of cosy hospitality. The sight of a fireplace, with its vibrant flames burning brightly, can bring on feelings that you can cherish forever.
In this article, we tell you why properties with fireplaces have something magical about them. In addition, we will showcase three particularly beautiful homes with fireplaces, selected from the Marche Country Homes portfolio.
All The Magic Of Homes With An Open Fire
The open fireplace is a long-standing tradition (read more about it here), dating back to the Middle Ages, and from here it has survived to the present day. Open fireplaces are often found in traditional houses in the Marche region, including those built during the sharecropping era. It is a classic feature, capable of remaining timelessly elegant and never becoming outmoded, thanks to its attractive as well as functional design, even if it harks back to a previous period in time.
The wood-burning fireplace has a primarily furnishing and decorative function, and yet is also particularly good for cooking a whole range of food, from chestnuts to meat, cheese, vegetables and desserts. It is also ecological, being environmentally friendly like very few other forms of heating.
In many traditional homes in the Marche region, it is already in place, offering an added bonus capable of enhancing the value of the property. We would like to present three of them to you.
Three Homes with Fireplaces from the Marche Country Homes Portfolio
We have selected three special houses with fireplaces for you from the Marche Country Homes range. Each one has its own unique atmosphere, thanks mainly to the fireplace. Let’s have a look at them together!
Palazzo Donati
Palazzo Donati is a stunning medieval building located in the village of Mercatello sul Metauro, in the heart of Montefeltro. What can be said about these places? They share a strong affinity with Umbria and Tuscany, their neighboring regions. In the past, such borders did not exist; instead, there was a Duchy that extended from parts of Romagna to the Cesano River in the Marche region, touching Rimini and parts of the coast that otherwise belonged to the Malatesta family.
The palazzo, complete with a garden, is situated in the center of Mercatello. It spans 1,600 square meters, comprising residences, rooms, grand halls, kitchens, and bathrooms, as well as shops and storage spaces distributed across different floors. The property also features a beautiful garden and an elegant loggia, all of which have been impeccably preserved over time.
Thanks to its structure and location, the property offers the possibility of being transformed into a prestigious hotel or a high-end accommodation business, perfectly suited for a region now widely recognized for its truffle tradition and its pristine natural landscapes.

Casale Montegallo
This charming country house enjoys a strategic location, allowing easy access to both the breathtaking white beaches of the Conero Riviera and the city center of Ancona in just ten minutes. Additionally, the proximity to major transportation routes makes travel particularly convenient.
Casale Montegallo is the ideal choice for those seeking the tranquility of the countryside without giving up the advantages of being near the sea and the many amenities offered by the regional capital, including shops, cinemas, theaters, hospitals, a port, and an airport.
Despite its convenient location, the property is set in a private and peaceful area, surrounded by a lush garden and a wooded area covering approximately one hectare, fully enclosed for maximum privacy.

Casale San Giovanni
This magnificent estate represents a unique opportunity for those who wish to experience life in the Marche region without the immediate commitment of purchasing a property. It offers the possibility of a tourist rental in accordance with Italian regulations.
Casale San Giovanni consists of several residential units. In addition to the living spaces, the property includes two annexes totaling approximately 100 square meters, a 50-square-meter storage area, and a stunning swimming pool measuring 4×10 meters, with a depth ranging from 2.80 meters to 1.40 meters.
All of this is set within a vast 15-hectare estate, largely dedicated to fruit orchards, offering a perfect blend of comfort and nature.
