3 bedrooms detached house, 135 m²

Arpino, Frosinone (province)

A detached independent three bedroom farmhouse of 135 m² across three floors in the centre of Arpino. In a wonderful location in the town of the great Marco Tullio Cicerone, and just a few steps from Piazza Municipio, the heart of Arpino, this property is highly unusual owing to the generous and enviable surrounding garden and green space of 2755 m².

The property was built, remaining faithful to the local style, with an entrance on the ground floor on the street level giving access to the kitchen and two bedrooms, one of which has an internal bathroom. At the lower ground or first basement level we find an area with adjoining hallway which connects to a third bedroom with a second internal bathroom, continuing we have a main bathroom with shower and finally we arrive at the second kitchen. 

In the second basement we find an environment used as a cellar, but with possible restructuring for rustic use. All on a beautiful green area divided into gardens and land making this property unique as it is in the heart of the city, a real stone farmhouse with garden a few steps from Corso Tulliano and Piazza Municipio. The property enjoys the possibility of an additional entrance under the parking lot of the Volte, as well as the entrance to the garden located near Corso Tulliano. Very few properties located so close to the centre of Arpino can boast of such a generous surrounding garden. With even modest renovation work on the house and some vision for the garden this property will become a very exclusive and desirable residence.

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.
