3 bedrooms house, 135 m²

Alvito, Frosinone (province)

Casa accanto al Castello

In one of the most charming areas of the Ciociaria in the foothills of the Appennines southeast of Rome, in the medieval hilltop town of Alvito, a charming townhouse is nestled right next to the historic Alvito Castle. A privileged location that combines the charm of history with the tranquility of an authentic rural setting.  Restaurants, cafés, shops and services are only a few minutes drive away in the historic centre of Alvito; and less than a 90 minute drive from Rome and Rome's airports.

This detached property is configured over three levels with a total surface area of approximately 155 square meters. The ground floor features a cellar and an additional room, a multipurpose stone-vaulted space ideal as an entertaining area given its independent access. The living area on the first floor includes a kitchen with fireplace, a bright living room, a bathroom with shower, a bedroom, and a hallway. The sleeping area on the second floor comprises two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom. A 20 square meter garage is included in the sale, just steps from the home, a rare convenience in the historic center.

Casa accanto al Castello is available immediately and is in good structural condition, although it requires modernization, particularly regarding the heating system (currently consisting of a single wood-burning stove).

An ideal opportunity for those seeking a primary residence, a vacation home, or an investment in the heart of a village rich in history and culture, with breathtaking views.

ALVITO AND THE CIOCIARIA  
Alvito is one of the enchanting medieval towns in the area of Italy called the Ciociaria, the name given to the fertile land that lies south of Rome but north of Naples, situated inland in the hills in the heart of Italy.  The Ciociaria region is within easy reach of both Rome and Naples and their respective airports. A day's shopping in Rome is a common pastime, while an even shorter drive brings you to the charming beaches south of Rome. Alternatively, drive east, and the mountains of the Abruzzo National Park await with horse trekking in the magnificent beech forests, and sparkling mountain lakes and rivers where you can swim in the heat of the summer. And at the other extreme of temperature, although Alvito itself is temperate, less than an hour's drive brings you to the winter ski slopes.  

Often overlooked, both by tourists and by those foreigners in search of an Italian home, in favour of the more publicized regions of Tuscany and Umbria, the Ciociaria remains largely an unspoilt gem with beautiful scenery and medieval hilltop towns. A home or second home in the Ciociaria, in the hilltop towns of Alvito, Arpino, Veroli, Alatri or in the rolling countryside that surrounds them, will afford you a setting where over two thousand years of history combine with an idyllic rural Italian lifestyle, where you can still discover the 'real' Italy and take time out from the busy crowds of the larger tourist cities, while being only 90 to 120 minutes minutes journey from central Rome or either of Rome's two airports.
