Arpino, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy

Casa Nicola is a spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom townhouse located in the bustling town of Fontana Liri, on the main Corso, a minute's walk from the main piazza, and, if walking in the opposite direction, the park.

An unusual design of this attractive row of town house apartments is that each ground level front door leads into an entrance hall and there is additionally a covered first floor porch shared between two apartments.

This apartment is laid out internally with its own little entrance hall, a large sitting room and a master bedroom, all floored in traditional chequered red and cream tiles. There is also a fully-fitted modern master bathroom, a fully-equipped small kitchen, and finally a little storeroom. The storeroom does have a window and therefore could instead have a desk fitted to make it a very small hidden office. A wide balcony runs the length of the apartment, overlooking the Corso.

Wooden open-tread stairs lead up into an attic conversion, with two more charming bedrooms, another bathroom, and some under-eave storage.

The home is heated by autonomous gas central heating and has double-glazed windows.

Newly restored, with high quality ceramic tiles, Casa Nicola features an elegant combination of traditional and modern styles and finishes.

There is nearby free parking and excellent road access. Restaurants, cafés, shops and services are within a few minutes walk, and the centre of Rome and Rome's airports are less than a 90 minute drive.

FONTANA LIRI AND THE CIOCIARIA

Fontana Liri is one of the enchanting 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 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 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 Fontana Liri, Alvito, Arpino, Veroli, Alatri or in the rolling countryside and valleys 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 only 90 minutes journey from central Rome or either of Rome's two airports.
