You have found a farmhouse in the Marche region. Overgrown vegetation, a few rotten beams, bricked-up windows—and yet you cannot stop imagining what it could become.
Bright, open living spaces. Carefully restored original stonework. A swimming pool set within the rolling countryside. The comfort of a contemporary home surrounded by the timeless landscape of the Marche hills. Not simply a renovation, but a place designed to be lived in and enjoyed every day.
This is precisely the moment when most of my clients get in touch. They have discovered a property they have fallen in love with and want to know whether it can truly become the home they envision.
Before discussing design, however, it is essential to understand what is actually possible. Every farmhouse is unique, with its own planning constraints, landscape regulations, structural condition, and restoration challenges. Building irregularities, planning permissions, structural issues, and renovation costs all need to be assessed from the outset, before they become costly surprises.
Over the years, I have managed more than fifty farmhouse renovation projects throughout the Marche region. Every project begins by listening carefully to my clients and thoroughly assessing the property itself: traditional stone masonry, timber roof structures, former agricultural outbuildings, and original architectural details that deserve to be preserved and reinterpreted. The goal is neither a museum-style restoration nor a generic refurbishment, but a home that retains the authentic character of rural Marche architecture while delivering the comfort, performance, and quality expected of contemporary living.
I work primarily throughout the provinces of Ancona and Macerata, personally overseeing every stage of the process—from the initial property assessment and feasibility study to architectural design, planning approvals, and construction supervision. For clients purchasing a farmhouse in the Marche from elsewhere in Italy or abroad, this means having a single trusted professional managing the entire process—someone who already knows the local authorities, heritage offices, and structural approval procedures.
The initial site visit is free of charge. Together, we will assess the property's real potential before discussing anything else.
What areas do you serve?
Our practice is based in Jesi, in the province of Ancona, and primarily operates throughout the provinces of Ancona and Macerata, undertaking projects across the entire Marche region.
Do you handle planning applications and administrative procedures?
Yes. We manage every aspect of the administrative process, including planning applications, structural approvals, cadastral registrations, Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs), and the administration of available tax incentives, such as the Superbonus, Sismabonus, and Ecobonus schemes.
How much does it cost to renovate a farmhouse in the Marche?
The cost depends on the property's condition, its size, and the scope of the renovation. As a general guide, a complete farmhouse restoration typically ranges from €900 to €1,600 per square metre. We offer a complimentary initial site visit and assessment to provide a realistic estimate based on the property's specific characteristics.
Do you also work on hospitality properties such as holiday homes, agriturismi, and B&Bs?
Yes. We have extensive experience in the design and renovation of hospitality properties, including holiday homes, agriturismi, and bed and breakfasts. We also manage the specific planning, regulatory, and technical requirements needed to establish or upgrade hospitality businesses in the Marche region.
