Campoli Appennino, Frosinone (provins)

Casa Borgo Loreto, although being located in the historic centre of the charming hilltop town of Campoli Appennino with stunning views over the valley to the mountains, is however on the wide Via Borgo Murata with convenient parking, near to the state road towards  the more major town of Sora.  It thus enjoys excellent road access while benefiting from the medieval character of the old town.  

The property is a 220 sqm white-washed farmhouse, which has been structurally renovated and partially finished.  The layout of the internal rooms of this very interesting home is as follows: The ground floor (intended as the living area) has an entrance leading to two main rooms, one with an open log fireplace, a kitchen and a bathroom; the first floor (configured as the sleeping area) has three bedrooms and a bathroom; the second floor (the relaxation area) has a bathroom and a lounge with a large panoramic terrace with vistas across the valley to the mountains, ideal for spending many relaxing hours enjoying the breathtaking views. The beautiful ancient tower to be found at the peak of Campoli Appennino's historic centre  is centrepiece to this panorama, silhouetted against the snow-capped mountains.

This home also has the added facility of a basement with characteristic stone-vaulted cellars.

Casa Borgo Loreto could be a lovely home or charming second home, and additionally would also lend itself to use as a B&B or holiday home.  It is only a few minutes from the shops, cafés and restaurants of the little town of Campoli Appennino, renowned throughout Italy as the heart of Italy's black truffle growing area.   (Campoli Appennino holds a festival for black truffles on the third week of June, and one for the white truffles on the third week of November.) 

Campoli Appennino is only 8 kilometres from Sora, the main administrative town for the region, and possessing a wide range of shops, supermarkets, services, bars, cafés and restaurants. Other attractive medieval towns such as Isola del Liri (with a magnificent waterfall in the town centre)) and the ancient hilltop town of Arpino are within half an hour's drive. The centre of Rome and Rome's international airport are both only around a 90 minutes drive, and there is  public transport from Sora.

CAMPOLI APPENNINO AND THE CIOCIARIA

Campoli Appennino is one of the 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 Campoli Appennino, 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.
