Country House La Torcia
Arcevia (Ancona)
- Traveller rating:
The Country House “La Torcia,” nestled in the Marches region countryside, with its breathtaking views, consists in 5 apartments, ranging in size from 28 square meters to 84 square meters.
All apartments are present within the rural Castle of Loretello (Castrum Laureti): a splendidly preserved medieval village dating to the 11th century. Overall, the village is made up of 18 dwellings, 6 of which are part of the Country House. As a result, the “Country House” may be defined as a “hotel of widespread hospitality.” Some locals still live within the castle.
The site is far from roads and elevated traffic, and is located 329 meters above sea level. During summer months, it is caressed by soft winds that mitigate the humidity and heat typical of the period.

The agriturismo is part of the Castle of Loretello complex. Castrum Laureti is its original name. It is a small “rural” castle, the outpost of the larger and more imposing Castle of Arcevia (18 km away). The fact of having preserved almost all of its original wall chain, the access ramp (only entrance way at the time), the outlook and an ancient circular tower – bearing witness to interesting architectural solutions – make this man-made work one of the few examples of Castles of its kind still in existence. If you add to these architectural peculiarities the stunning panorama that can be admired from the windows or the Castle square, or the unique sensations of the nights accompanied by the singing of nightingales or the circling of owls who have elected this ancient manor as their home, you may perceive the magical atmosphere of this singular, special place.
The apartments of the Country House were created in this context. The apartments derive from the Village’s ancient dwellings, which were subject to complex and meticulous restoration so as to guarantee the preservation of ancient materials and handmade objects used in previous ages. Each apartment has a furnished kitchen with all comforts and equipment needed to cook on site.
