3 bedrooms self-contained apartment, 120 m²

Arpino, Frosinone (province)

Appartmento Cabballere is a 120 sq.mt. home built above the well-known hotel "Il Cavalier d'Arpino" and overlooking its manicured lawns.  The apartment has a separate street entrance to the hotel and is located in a quiet and peaceful residential area of the medieval hilltop town of Arpino, 90 minutes from Rome.

Appartamento Cabballere is being sold for refurbishment and remodelling.  Various partition walls could be removed, and a kitchen and bathroom need to be installed (the wiring and plumbing for these already exists.)  The listed price of the apartment is negotiable.

The apartment has classically beautiful architectural features, particularly its historic stone-vaulted ceilings and exquisite arched windows set in stone portals.  The spacious interconnecting halls and rooms of this apartment with their arches, decorated pilasters and stone portals represent a great opportunity to create a striking and unique open-plan living concept, combining modern functionality and comfort with the classic grandeur of a by-gone age in a harmonious and elegant home.  

The apartment enjoys sweeping views over the garden of the hotel and onwards over the valley.

The restaurants, cafés, bars and facilities of the historic centre of Arpino are only a minute's walk.  The apartment has excellent street access and there is nearby free public parking.  Rome, Naples and their respective international airports are only 90 minutes away and Rome's second airport, Ciampino is even nearer being less than an hour's drive.


ARPINO AND THE CIOCIARIA

Arpino is one of the major medieval hilltop 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 Arpino 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 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 less than ninety minutes journey from central Rome or either of Rome's two airports.
