Arce, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy

Casa Corte Vecchia is a delightful one bedroom apartment in a historic palazzo, already lovingly restored, and, most unusually, with a large garden.

The apartment is all on one level. The large living room is very light, thanks to a French window (with railing for safety), which looks across the edge of town and out to the valley beyond. For winter, there is an attractive log fireplace. Leading off the main room are two smaller rooms, one fitted out as a kitchen, tiled with Vietri ceramics, the other a bathroom. Beyond the living is the very large bedroom, which also has a window looking out over the town and valley, as well as a door into the garden.

The entire apartment is tiled with stingo di vietri ceramic tiles.

The stunning 250 square metre garden ends in a stone balustrade and valley views.

The apartment is centrally located, only assort work from Piazza Umberto I, and the services, shops, restaurants etc of Arce.

ARCE AND THE CIOCIARIA

Arce is one of the many beautiful 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 Rocca d'Arce 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, Rocca d'Arce 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.
