CASALETTO VIA SFERRACAVALLO
Charming rustic home, in a very enviable location, meticulously and beautifully refurbished in 2015. This independent house, dating from the middle of the 20th century, has been lovingly restored and is situated in a locale replete with conveniences. It is close to schools of every grade, well-stocked supermarkets, offices, the railway station, bus terminus, and more. The house, recently upgraded and set in a tranquil yet well connected neighborhood might serve well as an inviting vacation retreat or second home for summer and weekends or alternatively, could be a haven for any young couple embarking on their journey into owning a home.

An integral facet of this property is the exclusive courtyard, extending over approximately 200 m². Its irregularly cut, multi-colored porphyry slabs pave the way for a magnificent three-colored compass rose mosaic, an exquisite centerpiece that lends the entrance a distinctive touch of uniqueness.

This charming home with accommodation entirely on the ground floor, boasts an expansive 70 m² of living space. As we step into the living room from the welcoming hallway, the warm hues of the walls envelop you, and the porcelain stoneware flooring underfoot adds to a sense of comfort and warm reception. This flooring exudes a handcrafted charm, seamlessly intertwining tradition with elegance, an essential detail for those who cherish the rustic aesthetic. The wooden ceiling offers a warm expanse of exposed timbers and beams and has suspended light fixtures. Natural stone elements on the walls bear the marks of time's passage, a material, a texture that evokes the past. Every facet of these interiors charms with a warm and attractive style, one that evokes welcome, authenticity, and a hint of nostalgia.

Continuing along the hallway, we encounter the kitchen, where cherry-colored beamed ceilings create a visual harmony with the kitchen components. Adjacent to this culinary haven is the sitting room and dining area, both graced by the same splendid beamed ceiling and anthracite-colored single-fired flooring. Mirrored ceramics  underfoot resonate harmoniously with modern furnishings, while the windows and doors are made with attractive dark wood. A French door provides access to the external courtyard, crafting an environment that marries contemporary flair with rustic style.

The bathroom is a blend of rustic charm and pure modernity with a high specification jacuzzi shower cubicle. In the master bedroom, high ceilings are adorned with beams and a wall skylight and large windows allow the space to fill with abundant natural light. Ceramic slab flooring adds a final touch of refinement.

A flight of stairs from the corridor leads to the attic room, a versatile space finished in warm tones and crowned by beamed ceilings. This wonderful area could be put to a variety of uses - a great advantage to have a multipurpose space. While this property lacks a conventional heating system, the insulating properties of wood can bring substantial energy savings. It boasts a double-well aseptic tank, three free sides with an external view, two parking spaces, a low wall fence, a mesh railing, and access via a manual gate.

Located within a community of properties, each unit is thoughtfully demarcated, ensuring clear boundaries and exclusive access for every owner. Thus, each resident lays claim to their own unique piece of this rustic paradise.

SORA AND THE CIOCIARIA
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 Sora 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 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.
