Villa 4 sovrum, 333 m²

Fontechiari, Frosinone (provins)

Villa Nello is a spacious and attractive 333 sq.mt. home with a patio and garden located in rural countryside with sweeping views across the valley to the mountains 90 kms from Rome.  Located a short distance from the Vandra and Broccostella state roads, in the municipality of Fontechiari in Via Colle Mastroianni, Villa Nello is a free-standing 4 bedroom 2 bathroom property arranged over two levels.

Completely renovated, the house is set in a quiet and sunny and easily accessible environment.  The walled and fenced grounds are entered through electric gates leading up an attractive driveway.

The property is being sold furnished.

Currently laid out as two separate apartments, one on each level (the parents occupying one level, their son the other), it would be easy to reconnect the floors if desired.

The main entrance on the ground floor leads into a central entrance hall, from which opens:
- an attractive fully-fitted kitchen with a "termocamino" fireplace and access to the garden, 
- a living room
- a study
- a double bedroom, 
- a bathroom with a shower, and, 
- at the end of the floor, a very large garage running the width of the building. 
Much of this living area is finished with parquet flooring. 

The first floor, which has an independent entrance, is a nicely finished and elegant apartment, with 
- a wide entrance hall, 
- a double sized living room with balconies, 
- a kitchen with fireplace and balcony, 
- a guest w.c., and 
- a 'night zone' with three bedrooms (two with olive wood parquet floors) and a master bathroom with a bath. 
Other than the night zone and bathrooms, the first floor is tiled in marble.

There is a small separate building of two rooms, which is currently used as a storeroom. The garden forms part of the property, but for those who would like a swimming pool, the near section of the adjoining field is also available for purchase, in which case the little building could make a nice changing room, bbq area, etc. (subject to the usual planning consents).

The present central heating systems are run off the termocamino fireplace, but the installation allows for the possibility of installing an LPG tank.

The layout of this well-maintained property make it perfect for a large family, or those owners who need a 'granny flat' or those who would like to generate some additional rental income from their home. 

Villa Nello is an ideal home for those who want to live in a green and peaceful setting but with the convenience of being a short distance from shops, restaurants and sevices, such as are found in the nearby Sora (a major local town) and the charming nearby hill top towns of Fontechiari, Vicalvi and Alvito.  

The beautiful lake of Posta Fibreno is only as short drive away, as is the entrance/exit to the superstrada to Cassino, which connects with the Rome-Naples autostrada.  Rome, Naples and their respective airports can be reached in around 90 minutes.


THE CIOCIARIA 

Villa Nello is 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 the towns of the Ciocaria are 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 Fontechiari, 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.
