In Emilia Romagna, near Ravenna, this 17th-century castle offers a rare opportunity to own a historic estate with exceptional potential. Set within a 4,000 sqm private park with centuries-old trees, the property spans 3,000 sqm over three floors, featuring 30 bedrooms, grand reception rooms, and elegant interiors, ideal for a luxury hotel, exclusive events venue, or prestigious private home. The castle’s history traces back to the medieval village of Fabriago and its ownership by notable families, including the bishops of Faenza and Ravenna and the Rondinelli marquises. Significant 17th- to 19th-century transformations culminated in a neo-Gothic renovation by Duke Galeazzo Massari in 1882, blending medieval exteriors with neoclassical and neo-Renaissance interiors. Frescoed ceilings, antique terracotta floors, exposed beams, and ornate decorations preserve its timeless charm. The estate includes three driveways and five pedestrian entrances, elegant gardens, and large outdoor spaces suitable for ceremonies, cultural events, or hospitality activities. Already equipped with fire safety, utilities, and event rental capabilities, the castle can be enhanced with catering facilities or expanded further under local planning regulations. Protected by the Superintendency, it offers a unique combination of architectural prestige, commercial versatility, and historical allure in one of Italy’s richest cultural regions.
This property in Lugo, Emilia Romagna offers a perfect blend of cultural richness and modern convenience. It’s close to public transport, with easy access to the historical wonders of Ravenna and the leisure activities of the Adriatic coast. Dining options range from local cuisine to gourmet experiences. The vicinity also includes parks and countryside for outdoor enthusiasts, making it an ideal location for luxury living.
