Parhus 4 sovrum, 246 m²

Isola del Liri, Frosinone (provins)

Casa Maria Bianca:  a spacious and elegant, semi-detached 250 sq.mt. house in a peaceful residential area of Isola del Liri, an important riverside town less than 90 minutes from Rome.  This two level 4 bedroom/ 1 bathroom home benefits from an adjoining courtyard and private 400 sq.mt. garden, a double garage and 1,000 sq.mt. of land with an outbuilding.  

The configuration of the home is as follows:   on the ground floor, a spacious and welcoming entrance hall opens into a formal dining room with open log fireplace, a beautifully and fully fitted-out modern kitchen, an elegant living room, a sitting room with another open fireplace and a bathroom with shower; the ground floor also has an additional side entrance. The upper floor, the "night zone", is reached by a wide shallow staircase.  On this upper floor, there is a large hallway leading to four bedrooms and a study; here we also find a wide balcony with sweeping views. 

External features of this attractive property include a double garage, a charming garden, a courtyard, and a detached 1,000 sq.mt. piece of land with an outbuilding classified as a cellar / storage area.  Under present building permissions, the existence of this land and outbuilding would allow for the demolition of the outbuilding and the construction, in its place, of a 140 sq.mt. building for residential use.

Casa Maria Bianca is in a good state of repair.  There is gas central heating and all utilities are connected.  The property has excellent road access and the centre of Rome and its international airports are less than a 90 minutes drive.  The shops, restaurants, cafés and services of Isola del Liri are minutes away.

ISOLA DEL LIRI AND THE CIOCIARIA 

Isola del Liri is one of the major medieval 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 historic centre of Isola del Liri is actually on an island formed by the convergence of two rivers with a spectacular waterfall forming the focal point of the old town.   

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 Isola del 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 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 including Isola del Liri 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.
