Villa 3 sovrum, 445 m²

Fontana Liri, Frosinone (provins)

Villa Farnito (ref: 436) is a large villa set in its own 15,000 square metre park. It is on the outskirts of Fontana Liri Inferiore, and feels as though it is in the countryside, although in fact it is right on the edge of town.

The ground floor has a large 'taverna' entertainment area, with an open kitchen and display fireplace. Marble stairs lead up to the main floor, where wood and frosted glass doors open onto a hallway, from which you access a dining room, kitchen, study, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The very large (55 square metre) terrace is completely tiled in terracotta coloured single-fired tiles.

The staircase continue to the upper floor attic level, with rooms currently furnished as two bedrooms, as well as three attic storage rooms and a bathroom. 

The interior rooms are all paved with pearly single-fired tiles, emphasising the large, light rooms. 

The property is fenced, and has arable land and a small wood. 

There is a separate single room in a structure by the main gate.

Heating is by gas fired radiators and by hot/cold air conditioning. There are also eight photovoltaic panels, sectioned electrical systems, predisposition for an alarm system and video intercom. 

ARPINO, FONTANA LIRI 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.

Fontana Liri is an old spa town, once famous for its hot springs. The even older part, a cluster of stone houses on the hill above, known as Fontana Liri Superiore, is noted for the many concerts it hosts throughout the year.

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 Fontana Liri 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, 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.
