Villa 2 sovrum, 120 m²

Arpino, Frosinone (provins)

Situated in a pretty semi-rural area between Arpino and Fontana Liri, Casa Innazzi is in an a quiet but not isolated position, with fine views.

The entrance hall opens on the right into the eat-in kitchen, which has a fireplace and a pellet stove, and on the left into a large living room. The back of the house has the 'night zone', with two bedrooms and a bathroom. Internal stairs lead down to the large cellar and garage area, and up to the attic level, which has a glassed-in verandah with a striking view across the valley.

Although somewhat untidy, and in need of redecoration, this house has a very good position and striking views, and with a little work could be made into a very attractive property.

The outdoor area has a large front garden, a characteristic old farmyard and in the back an olive grove of about 2000 square meters. Convenient parking space and useful access ramp for people with disabilities. As regards the systems, there is an LPG donut, a pallet stove with predisposition for preparation also in the cellar floor. The house enjoys a fine view over the city of 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 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.
