Hotel Villa Cattani Stuart

Hotel Villa Cattani Stuart in Pesaro, Pesaro and Urbino, Italy | Hotel

Just past where Dei Colli Street meets Trebbiantico road you can see a house with a passage written on the wall that says, "watch your step" (this at one time was a warning to horses but today is used for the cars.) These two streets form a triangle together with the street that leads to Fosso Sejore and Novilara. This triangle in olden times was called Trivium Antiguum, which is where the name Trebbiantico originates.

The triangle of roads indicates the place where during the first century A.D. a street originating from the center of Pesaro (Italy) connected with the "new Flaminia", which was constructed by the Romans to circumnavigate the city. Not far from this triangle one can find the antique Roman fountains of Sajano, known for their curative powers.

Near the Trivium Antiguum a small town developed that took the name Trebbiantico. This village is known as " a peaceful place where horse riders could rest and have a good laugh" because of its geographic position. It has always been considered a wonderful place for a holiday.

Amongst the mostly modern architecture found in Trebbiantico, the most important architectural structure is Hotel Villa Cattani Stuart.

The Cattani family built the Villa at around 1650.

The Hotel Villa Cattani Stuart reached its maximum splendor in the early 1700s when the Florentine cardinal, Alemanno Salviati, was sent by the pope to oversee the province of Pesaro and Urbino. From 1717-1732 the Hotel Villa Cattani Stuart was the country residence for the Cardinal and his guests. Among the many guests who stayed with the Cardinal at the villa was England's James Stuart III, who came in 1726. This visit was commemorated by engraving his name in Latin above the grand entrance, which included the title king of England that was granted to him by the Catholic Church. With the death of Alessandro Cattani and the marriage of the last Cattani heir Anna-Maria to the Marquis Giovanni Paolucci the notoriety of the villa diminished.
