Casa Santopadre

Located in the historic old hill-top town of Santopdre, this charming stone house presents in good structural condition, only needing a rejuvinating renovation to bring it line with modern living requirements.   The home has beenwell-loved bythe same family for many genrations, and the current owners have recently replaced the roof and guttering.  The two roof terraces have impermeable membranes, so are water proof. 

Ther are two entrances to this home, one side door and staircase leads to the kitchen or to the independent guest accomodation, the other main front door opens onto a charming hallway area, which in turn, leads on to either the living rooms or bedroom zone. 

In its current configuration there are 4 large bedrooms, one of which could be independent guest accomodation or perphas the master suite.   This bedroom is joined to the house, but also features its own entrace, and its very own roof terrace.    This spacious bedroom has very high ceilings, and its own private ensuite bathroom.

The other 3 bedrooms are also very bright and airy, and plumbing is already in place should you wish to add a further ensuite bathroom. 

While the main bathroom of the house is dated, it has ample space for a full sized bathtub and shower.

The large salon, living room has a working fireplace and adjoins the equally large kitchen, which is currently partitioned off by means of a false half height wall, to creat a more formal dining area - which also features a working fireplace.   The simple removal of this false wall would give you an enormous eat-in kitchen, with space enough for a kitchen island as well. 

A few steps down from the kitchen is one of three large cellar rooms, which will be a handy storeroom/ pantry for the kicthen.  The room is currently set up for wine-making, while from the other cellar rooms one is uded to house the various services, and the other might become a garge.

The wonderful rooftop terrace is just few steps up from the kitchen and living room.  Both terraces of this home enjoy spectacular views of the old town on one side, and of the enormous mountain ranges on the other. 

The town of Santopadre is  located just a little further along than Arpino.  This town is another walled town, and the town piazza has some of the most striking views of mountains.  Every Tuesday morning there is a large farmers market, which much organic fruit and vegetable on offer. 

Rome and Naples are approximately 1.5 hours by car, and beaches and ski fields are are about an hours drive.
