Villa 4 sovrum, 380 m²

Atina, Frosinone (provins)

Villa Augusta Raurica:  an elegant detached villa in Atina, located at Via Augusta Raurica.

A dwelling meticulously crafted to meet the needs and enhance the quality of life of those for whom it will become home. Spanning two floors with 231 square meters of residential space it also has a basement of 150 square meters below street level.

Nestled in a tranquil and sunlit location and with a sprawling courtyard, a generous garden of 500 square meters with wonderful potential surrounds the house. The driveway, entirely paved with durable and expertly laid out stone, is bordered by a charming vineyard spanning 7,000 square meters. The architectural style is in harmony with the locale and the property boasts panoramic views and presents an elegant residence ideal for those seeking a secluded environment surrounded by nature and with ample outdoor space.

This distinctive villa then offers beautiful views, a generous site with practical outdoor spaces and has a cleverly designed interior with a traditional and rational distribution of space with excellent division between the living area and the sleeping quarters.

The entrance on the GROUND FLOOR opens into an elegant foyer of 18 square meters, beautifully paved with granite, an exquisite and versatile material with a natural beauty that creates refined and elegant spaces and imparts a timeless elegance. The same granite is found in the internal staircase leading to the first floor. The double living room of 45 square meters features a marble-clad fireplace in the living area, with dual access to the balcony of 14 square meters which wraps around part of the property. The allure of this space is heightened by the pink marble floor which lends the space a rather prestigious feel, the whole complemented by light-colored furnishings and cool-toned walls. Adjacent to the living room is one particular highlight - an exquisite 18 square meter veranda. Expansive full height windows allow the beauty of the panorama indoors and make possible the enjoyment of the outdoor space even on cooler days or during rain showers. This really is a wonderful asset and a marvelous space, bright, comfortable and spacious, as useful as it is delightful.

The very generous 22 square meter kitchen, with wonderful natural light provided by a three-paneled window and featuring a classic fireplace is also meticulously floored in marble tiles.

The elegant internal staircase in granite and marble with carved wooden balustrades leads to the landing of 25 square meters on the FIRST FLOOR, spanning 116 square meters of residential space. Here, the master bedroom of 18 square meters grants access to the 15 square meter balcony. The second bedroom, also 18 square meters, and the third bedroom/study, also with balcony access, are present, along with a 9 square meter master bathroom with a bathtub, and finally, the fourth bedroom of 15 square meters, and an additional 5 square meter bathroom with a shower.

Completing the property, separate from the main villa, is a 40 square meter annex housing three cellar rooms of 15 square meters, 9 square meters, and an additional 15 square meters, respectively.

This modern villa benefits from thoughtful architectural design, modern construction, a wonderful enclosed veranda and a very useful separate utility outbuilding. At this price point the property represents very good value in an area with a steadily increasing demand.

ATINA AND THE CIOCIARIA
Atina 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 Atina 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 favor 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 Atina, 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.
