Dimora splendida, molto curata e ricca di dettagli e particolari che trasportano in un'altra epoca, dove il tempo è scandito solo dal rintocco delle campane della vicina chiesa. La posizione della casa è unica: nella piazza principale del borgo ma con un grande e curato giardino sul retro (provvisto di piscina) dove ci si può rilassare in assoluta tranquillità. Ogni ambiente, dalle cucine, alle camere al meraviglioso salone che affaccia sulla piazza è arredato con grande cura. Il borgo di Mercatello sul Metauro è stato un'autentica scoperta, ricco di storia e punto di partenza ideale per visitare una zona delle Marche che ha tantissimo da offrire in termini di storia, arte, natura ed enogastronomia.

Un luogo magico, da film. Un palazzo storico in cui si respira un'atmosfera di un'altra epoca. Il luogo ideale in cui passare delle vacanze rilassanti in pieno stile italiano.

Un vero palazzo del 1700, lo abbiamo affittato interamente per un w.end ed è stata una vera esperienza.

We had a wonderful week in the Palazzo Donati, it is a perfect combination of old and modern, the rooms and the large garden invite you to discover, immerse yourself in an earlier time, in another world, just very special.
Luisa is an excellent host with great attention to detail and you can see that in many little things in the house. there is so much to discover and we felt very comfortable.
Also the place Mercatello sul Metauro is very pretty, the people are really hospitable and always have a nice word. I can really recommend Palazzo Donati and we would love to come back to this beautiful place. Thank you very much for the hospitality dear Luisa!

The Palazzo Donati is wonderful. It is old and gracious, but has been tastefully modernized and the bathrooms are all updated. It is immaculately clean and well furnished. Its location is perfect with the main entrance on to the town square and a large walled garden at the back for cocktails and eating outside. Grocery store and restaurants are in easy walking distance. Luisa is an extremely responsive and attentive host. I highly recommend this lovely place in a charming little town.

Our July 2021 stay in Palazzo Donati was fantastic and special.

The place: you get to stay in an actual medieval palazzo in the center of the main square of Mercatello sul Metauro. From a relatively unassuming entry door you step into another world. The garden is magnificent, walled in, with flowers and mature landscape. There is an above-ground pool that was plenty for the kids. The palazzo is huge, I know we have not seen all the rooms.
The children were expecting a Narnia-like vibe and they got it.
The old main hall is spectacular and feels like living in a museum.

The area: Mercatello is a tiny town where everyone knows each other and they are very welcoming with tourists. Urbino is about 1 hour drive and the area has many things to see and nice walks in the woods.

The food: this is one of the best areas in Italy for food, simply said. Mercatello has an old, charming butcher shop in front of Palazzo Donati. They source meat from local farmers. If you like to cook the Palazzo has 2 kitchens, if you like to grill/barbecue/smoke/bake and pizza making you have found your place. you can also have cooking services/classes from Luisa.

The host: Luisa is a perfect host, simply said. She was there in person to welcome us on the first day, she discretely checked how we were doing several times and was able to accommodate all of our requests.

What a find!

Host Luisa cannot do more for her guests. She knows the area really well and was able to recommend unique dining experiences, and places to explore around the local region. Palazzo Donati is a Medieval palazzo, off the beaten track, in Mercatello sul Metauro. You can really see how people have lived here over the centuries. A wonderful, unspoilt base for exploring the lesser-known Italian region of Le Marche - so glad we were able to work and stay here.
