3 bedrooms apartment, 110 m²

Sora, Frosinone (province)

Apartment Serafini:  a spacious 110 square metre apartment with a stunning private roof terrace, fully renovated in 1992, on the top floor of a three-storey building in a quiet and elegant condominium with only three other apartments. It  is located in the heart of Sora (Fr)  in the Via Domenico Serafini, near the central Piazza Indipendenza, a few steps from Corso Volsci and the beautiful Cathedral of Santa Maria, additionally being very close to the city's Villa Comunale, a lovely verdant green area. The central location of this home allows easy access to multiple facilities - shops, restaurants, cafés, public transport, pharmacies, medical facilities, banks and numerous service establishments.

Heavy wooden double entrance doors lead into a 7 sq.mt. entrance hall.  On the right a large living room of 21 sq.mt.. opens to a 7 sq.mt.  balcony, the large wooden balcony door with its frosted glass panels, newly finished in Verists double glazing and wood cladding, allowing the light to stream into the bright living room.  From the living room there is direct access to the 12 sq.mt. kitchen. which also benefits from much natural light coming from the access door to the balcony shared with the living room.   One of the important characteristics of a home is "natural light", which provides a pleasant feeling of warmth and welcome. Investing in large windows made this home an oasis of natural light contributing to the wellbeing of all those who live there. 

Continuing down the corridor, on the left we have the first 13 sq.mt. room/study. and followed by the second bedroom of 20 sq.mt. with access to another balcony of approximately 6 sq.mt. From the corridor we have a second access to the kitchen, where a 3 sq.mt. night-zone hallway. separates the 8 sq.mt. main bathroom (with a bathtub, the room being in a modern style with granite features) from the 3 sq.mt. service bathroom. Which is fitted with a shower.  The sleeping area is completed by the splendid 22 sq.mt. master bedroom, beautifully spacious and bright. 

The magnificent flooring throughout the apartment should not be underestimated.  
There are cement tiles, a type of older flooring from the end of the 19th century, particularly in vogue today, with shades and compositions based on frets, friezes and flowers that emulate "carpets" with beautiful optical illusions. These are floors that enliven environments and can constitute a truly refined and valuable furnishing choice, maintaining their timeless beauty. Creating a modern home with a cement floor means giving a personal and creative touch to the setting, which is truly impossible to ignore.
There are granite floors, in caramel, black and white, with rust-coloured tones, these colours create an elegant and original context. 
With the right choice of furnishings, these floors will create an original context by combining many of the dictates of modern style. 

However, perhaps the key feature of Apartment Serafini is its large 60 sq.mt. private roof terrace with a stunning view and enhanced by an attic room of 20 sq.mt. that can be used as a extension of the terrace for the storage of garden furniture, BBQ equipment, etc.   The house of your dreams.

SORA AND THE CIOCIARIA

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 Sora 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 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.
