Sora, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy

Villa Boscosa is a prestigious home set among privately-owned parklands in an elegant and secluded residential areac near to the important regional town of Sora, Lazio. This 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom luxury villa evolves over three levels, the ground floor and first floor as the living areas and the lower floor as an entertaining area, garage and technical zone.

The gated grounds of the villa have two well-concealed entrances. As the massive gates of the main entrance swing open, a drive leads up to a wall fountain and then turns towards the 15 sq.mt. porticoed entrance. Impressive double front doors, (reinforced for security but attractively decorated to match the interior furnishing style) lead into the 370 sq.mt. ground floor with magnificent split level sitting and dining areas, a large well-fitted-out kitchen, beautifully decorated bedrooms and bathrooms. The first floor is configured as a 61 sq.mt suite with a 21 sq.mt. terrace, ideal either as the ensuite master bedroom or as a luxurious guest suite.

The lower floor totals 377 sq.mt. and is principally configured as a splendid entertaining area with a grand log fireplace. Here too can be found the garage, a cellar and 40 sq.mt. of space dedicated to the villa's technical services.

The villa is wrapped in 3,000 sq.mt. of private landscaped gardens, providing an entrancing view from the huge picture windows, and an enveloping atmosphere on all sides of the villa, guaranteeing maximum privacy and independence, a place where during the summer the park becomes an extension of the house itself, a private oasis, creating a true open-air environment.

Villa Boscosa has been designed in a fascinating architectural style, a dialogue between the villa and the surrounding landscape, simultaneously a modern construction and a work of poetry, a true fusion of a modern concept brilliantly adapted to the context of the local environment. Its 15 rooms and 4 modern bathrooms configured over three graceful levels reflect modern functionality and technology, while being fascinating both externally and internally, and reflecting a personal style and with a very personal aesthetic aspect. Open and bright spaces, with a sublime sense of proportionate spatiality, the furnishings, the colours, the exquisite materials and finishes, have all been chosen to create both an elegant and prestigious environment and a welcoming home.

The uniqueness of this property is not only in its style but also in its location, within this private parkland area while being in the immediate vicinity of restaurants, cafés, shops and all services, and also close to entrances and exits to superstrada junctions. There are many charming and historic medieval hilltop towns in the area, while Rome and Rome's international airports are less than a 90 minute drive on excellent roads.

THE CIOCIARIA REGION

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 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 and Alvito, in the riverside towns of Sora and Isola del Liri, 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.
