Property Description
Rif: DI94 - Location It's in the historical heart of Mondavio that you find Palazzo Cardinali, a noble dwelling that, after painstaking restoration, lives again in all its originality. The impressive frame of the countryside opens itself with its mild hills, only 20 km kilometres from the sea. Description of buildings Palazzo Cardinali is disposed on four levels, for a total of 1.060 net sq. metres. Inside the building, three distinct areas are present: - at the ground and first level, the owner's noble dwelling - at the third level, the private suites for the guests with independent access - at the basement, the charming spaces of the old cellars, still intact. Condition Palazzo Cardinali is a place where time stands still as it protects the bricks, vaults and frescoes with its patina, waiting for someone to unveil them. Thankfully, it was a professional, fond of art and history, who rediscovered Palazzo Cardinali; he 'simply' removed the patina of age, finding a noble structure by the precious details in it. Frescoes have been restored; other ones, previously hidden under layers of lime, have been brought to light again. The structure presents an exceptional integrity that finds its highest expression in the diverse use and in the variety of vaults. Realized with bricks that have been positioned edgewise, like in the kitchen, or with tiles which have been laid flat, like in the dining room, all vaults witness the deep care, both in the original plan and in the realization done by the labour of the time and they represent an eloquent explanation of how the structure could arrive to us in such perfect condition. All floors maintain the original terracotta bricks and it was a great surprise to discover in some rooms, hidden under a coat of grey dust, a rare polychrome floor with alternate rows of red and grey/green bricks, the latter obtained through a particular mix, typical of that time, done in the phase before the firing. Outdoor space The property is completed by a small private garden with portico and by an internal courtyard. Facilities & utilities Main water Electricity Heating system: methane gas Telephone Usage and potential Palazzo Cardinali is an ideal dwelling for enthusiasts of art and history, looking for a prestigious mansion, with the possibility of using the wide and suggestive spaces of the cellars for art exhibitions and of freeing the suites at the top level for the guests.
