5 bedrooms villa, 180 m²

Arpino, Frosinone (province)

Casa Reggi
A very fine villa with excellent views, in a stunning location in a venerable part of beautiful historic Arpino. Not only is it possessed of a very extensive rooftop terrace from which to enjoy the location and views but some truly gorgeous interior spaces, ancient, grand and elegant this house will become a very sophisticated home or country villa. This property is awaiting a new owner with the vision to see through a restoration project which will not only save this beautiful old mansion but in the process create a simply fabulous and reborn Arpinati house. With flair, imagination and the right team of technical and artisanal support this will be a place to envy. The canvas is here, spirit, resources and taste might create a masterpiece.

The location, the multi level gardens and the wonderful villa itself combine together to form a very desirable property. The house has five bedrooms and is currently designated as having 180 m² accommodation. It is arranged as two stories over cellar with a wonderfully generous roof terrace. Throughout the house we find beautiful vaulted spaces, pillars and columns of stone and marble, period architectural touches, beautiful ironwork and wonderful decorative elements. The ground floor has the principal entrance which opens into a very spacious hallway and is  connected to receiving rooms, bedrooms, a study and a bathroom. Via a very charming stairway we ascend to the first floor which has a living room, a kitchen and two further bedrooms.  This floor also has an entrance at second ground level which connects to a courtyard. Above this floor is the spacious roof terrace of 100 m².

It is difficult to adequately describe the view from the roof terrace - it has a seemingly  impossible beauty, the rooftops of an ancient town sweep away before you framing the verdant valleys and majestic mountains of the Italian countryside. The rolling hillsides are dotted with farms and vineyards, olive groves and forests. Pretty villas and little villages are scattered throughout and all are guarded by dizzying ridges and hazy blue ranges. It is as if one has been transported into a renaissance landscape of incomparable beauty. Your vantage point the roof of a sumptuous house on the green and sunny hillside atop an ancient bastion city.

A marvellous location, beautiful structure, in need of skilled renovation yet with simply stunning features, an imaginative and carefully planned refurbishment project will, together with the skill and passion of the local craft builders and artisanal decorative artists, give life anew to a sophisticated and extremely elegant villa and garden all nestled in a sublime Italian landscape. This represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire and develop a beautiful Italian home in the city of Cicero, beautiful, historic, desirable Arpino. 

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 publicised 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 Alvito 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.
