The palace was originally built to house the parish priest of the adjacent church of San Michele Arcangelo however it was later acquired by a local noble family - the Gigliucci - who carried out extensive renovation works. At the turn of the 17th century, a marriage between this family and the Vinci family led to the palace being extended adapted to reflect the growing needs of this important noble family. Further work was carried out on the property in the mid 19th century by well-known architect Giovan Battista Carducci. These days, the palace remains one of the most significant palaces in the region and has been beautifully converted into a series of stunning apartments.

This Le Marche apartment is situated in the hilltop town of Fermo, the capital of the province of the same name. Due to its elevated position, the town enjoys phenomenal views over the surrounding countryside. The town itself is steeped in history and is home to a number of significant Roman remains. It is an extremely attractive town but, at the same time, is off the main tourist trail in Italy and so allows holidaymakers to enjoy an extremely authentic stay.
