1 bedroom farmhouse, 72 m²

Arpino, Frosinone (province)

Casale Sant’Altissimo (ref.471) is a charming old stone farmhouse dating back to the 1800s with a small garden of 30 sq.mt. and 1,600 sq.mt. of land.  Enjoying sweeping views, the property benefits from possession of one of the ancient “aia”, a round platform of stones set into the land as a communal area for threshing grain.

The main farmhouse measures around 72 sq.mt. and consists of four rooms and a 12 sq.mt. porch.  A barn and a further outbuilding give scope for extension and amplification. 

The property is being sold for full restoration.

Shops, restaurants, cafés and services are only a few minutes drive from Casale Sant’Altissimo  which has excellent road access.   And Rome and Rome’s airports are less than 90 minutes away.


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.
