A combination of
experience, history and nature makes the Marches one of the most
culturally interesting regions in Italy. Here there is the highest
density of museums and galleries in Italy, with approximately 100 città
d’arte, 106 castles and 71 important historic theatres, 55 of which
still in use. In this land, where the country has conserved its natural
character, the food and wine produce have maintained their authenticity
and originality. The hills of the Marches Appenines slope gently down to
the sea and thick tropic-like vegetation merges into the sandy beaches
of the Adriatic coast.
The Borgo Storico
Seghetti Panichi
lies on the hill along the valley of the River Tronto. Located in the
southern province of Le Marche, the Piceno area, in the small village of
Castel di Lama. It is 8 kilometers (4.9 Miles) from the beautiful town of
Ascoli Piceno.
Guests can choose among ten suites furnished with antique pieces and
offering a complete range of facilities: five suites in the Relais Villa
and five separate apartment suites (duplex) with bedroom, bathroom,
sitting room and kitchenette, in the San Pancrazio Cottage. The
restaurant "La Quintana", the coffee house, the bookshop,
meeting rooms, the swimming pool and sauna together with the historic
gardens, complete the compound.
All the events which take place at the Borgo Storico Seghetti
Panichi are refined and elegant. Our specialized staff are there to
satisfy every request with the utmost care and attention. Cocktail,
business and gala dinners, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays,
christenings or private moments to share in a small number
for a unique experience.
The garden that
surrounds the San Pancrazio Cottage and the swimming pool, is available for small and medium events (up to 200
people). It offers a natural, private and elegant atmosphere. Wedding, christening and communion
events,
birthday parties and anniversaries, are perfectly framed in this
space.
The Gardens and the Historic Villa are ideal for intimate or
more formal events, like weddings, business and gala dinners. Attention to every little
detail in the choice of fabrics, table-ware, flower arrangements, music, lighting and
fireworkswill make your event unforgettable, unique and simply magical! The large
kitchen in the ancient crypt is available for informal dinners up to 40 people.
In 1870 the noble Carfratelli Seghetti family decided to leave an
elegant and cultivated botanical imprint on what had become their summer
residence, and they engaged an outstanding European personality: the
great German landscape architect Ludwig Winter. At that time he was
well-known for his work on the garden of Villa La Mortola
at Ventimiglia (now a national botanical garden) owned by the English
Hanbury brothers. He was also a great lover of exotic plants. The
Seghetti Panichi Historic Gardens, which he designed, is a rare example
of what one could call “a moved landscape”, with exotic palms and
terraced citrus trees which are typical of the Ligurian landscape. To
plant a garden of such dimensions and particularly of such botanical
importance required an enormous intellectual and economic commitment.
Indeed, there are still local records of the processions of ox-drawn
carts that transported the fresh soil from the river banks.
The Borogo offers
its guests a restaurant service with traditional recipes and local
produce of the Marches. Other services available include: high quality
laundry, babysitting, massage, beauty treatment with reliable staff
recommended by the house.
