Сельский дом 3 спальни, 280 м²

Альвито, Фрозиноне (провинция)

Casa Mariangela is a beautiful 3 bedroom/2 bathroom 280 sq.mt. stone house set in 1,900 of grounds.  It enjoys a panoramic position with sweeping views overlooking a medieval hilltop castle and the valley below, a vista stretching to the distant mountains. 

The house is laid out over three levels.  The top floor which, because of the slope of the land, has its own external entrance is fully restored and fitted out, and is currently occupied by the owners.  This level is configured with an entrance hall leading to a double room forming the principal living area, with the two rooms joined by a lovely stone arch. Presently a sitting room with open fireplace and an open plan kitchen / dining area, this double room opens on to a balcony looking across the valley.  There are two bedrooms on this level, one overlooking the valley, and one with a balcony overlooking the back garden.  A bathroom and a small bedroom or study complete this level.

The middle floor has been restored with electrical wiring, plumbing , windows,etc., but has been left as a series of large untiled rooms that can be fitted out and finished to meet the purchaser's specific requirements.

The lowest level of Casa Mariangela contains the old cantinas (above ground cellars) accessed by internl staircase from the floor above and from the garden.  Currently white-washed, the ceilings are vaulted stone.  One of the rooms was historically the water cistern.  Another room has been used to create a "rustic" or summer kitchen and has an open fireplace.

An internal staircase can easily be added between the top and middle floors allowing for a versatile distribution of rooms to create additional bedrooms, bathrooms, a hobby room, an entertainment area, etc., as the purchaser desires.

A terraced 400 sq.mt. garden stretches along one side of the house, and the driveway curls around the other side to form covered parking at the rear of the property, where there is also a two-car garage.  

There is an ideal space to install an 'infinity' swimming pool (subject to obtaining the usual planning consents) with a spectacularly enchanting view of the Comino valley and the medieval castle.

The charming hilltop town of Alvito is only 4 kms from the property.  Alvito is a delightful small town with many historic buildings.  Its shops, restaurants, bars, cafés and services are all within a few minutes drive from Casa Mariangela.

Casa Mariangela has excellent road access and both Rome and Rome's airports are only around 90 minutes drive away.

ALVITO AND THE CIOCIARIA 

Alvito 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. 

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 Alvito 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 Alvito, 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.
