Il Salino Country House

Description:
The ‘Salino’ Country House is essentially composed of:
- the farm house:. An expert eye will see that it was built in various stages from the end of the 1800’s onwards, and that before renovation the ground floor was made up of a manger for the animals, a salt cellar and a boiler to cook wine, whilst the rooms were on the upper floor;
- the annex. Originally a barn and a pigsty, this has been transformed into the House of Hay and Sun (“La casetta del sole e del fieno”)
- the swimming pool.Built into the hillside and thus sheltered, it has a panoramic view.
- Outdoors there are the garden and the car park outlined by a sandstone perimeter, and including many olive trees, benches, tables, chairs and deck-chairs.
The Salino Country House which has been renovated with expertise is to be found in the midst of the green hills of the Marche region, and situated in the county of Contro at about 3 km from Gualdo ( 650 metres above sea-level), a medieval town in the province of Macerata and part of the ‘Comunità Montana dei Monti Azzurri’ ( The Mountain Community of the Blue Mountains). The country house was built in various phases from the end of the nineteenth century onwards, following the expansion of the patriarchal family as was traditional in the rural society of that period. The renovation, completed in 2007, was undertaken leaving unaltered the structural and environmental characteristics typical of this rural area through the retrieving of building materials and the use of regional stone, wood, tiles, and cork amongst others.

The farmhouse, from which there is a beautiful view of the countryside, stands on a strip of land of approximately one hectare, on a hillside that runs gently down to the stream named ‘Salino’, from which the property takes it’s name. The construction, which provides every comfort, is composed of the farmhouse and an annex with a swimming pool, able to sleep 15 people in a mini apartment, a one-room flat and four rooms, as well as a communal living area composed of a polyvalent lounge, a dining-room and a kitchen. Also included are a large garden, a car park and an olive grove.

The homestead furnishing creates a rural atmosphere which is at the same time refined, thus transmitting a family-type welcoming environment ideal for those looking for a relaxing and regenerative holiday.

Since hospitality has always characterised generally-speaking the rural world, and particularly so the surrounding areas, the reception of guests at “Il Salino” has been organised on the basis of these intrinsic values in order to satisfy in a flexible and personalized fashion our guests’ requirements.

One can either have breakfast served or choose to use the kitchen; we also rent out the entire house so that guests can make use as they please of the communal areas including the polyvalent lounge and the dining room. We also offer upon request bicycles and a quadquad which is a means of transport especially adapted to the area as well as being great fun to ride.



We cater for the general public and for companies and organizations, as we do also for people with disabilities, for stays that can be lengthy if you so desire, and also for single events.



Furthermore at about 15mt from the country house stands a charming stone church, a characteristic environment ideal for important ceremonies such as baptisms and marriages after which can be held the reception a few metres away.
