Patrica, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy

Patrica is a charming town in the foothills of the Lepini Mountains less than 90 minutes from Rome. It is very popular with hikers, forming the start of a number of scenic trails, including that leading to Mt Cacume (mentioned by the great author, Dante). Sweeping panoramic views can be enjoyed from every lookout in the town and on the trail paths.

Patrica benefits from shops and services: a pharmacy, supermarket, café, bakery, trattoria, several bars, etc. However, recognising its antique heritage and rural feel, there is a sign at the town entrance warning drivers to proceed slowly, because children still play in the streets.

The property for sale is an attractive 95 sq.mt. stone townhouse reaching from the cellars to the roof, that has much potential, either as a charming private home or as a rental property. It has excellent road access to nearby public parking.

The current layout of Casa Patrica has a small entrance hall leading to a sitting room featuring both an open fireplace and a beautiful terrace, and to a kitchen with views over the ancient town and the valley below. Stairs from this entrance hall lead to two upstairs room, another magnificent terrace, and a small bathroom. Below the building, there are two 'cantina' (above ground cellar) rooms and a narrow strip of land..

The current owner of Casa Patrica, an architect, has drawn up several different plans one to maximise the townhouse's beauty as a private home, and another to convert it into a B&B. These pians are available to potential purchasers on request.

There is also the opportunity to purchase a garden running along one side of the building, with further breathtaking views over the town and the valley; plus an option to purchase an adjoining double-height extension room at the opposite side of the building opening on to the strip of land. These two additional small purchases would create a splendid garden area with vistas beautiful by day and also at night illuminated by the lights of the medieval villages, thus enhancing the panoramic views from the two terraces, while also increasing significantly the habitable space.

Casa Patrica is truly a gem, set in the historic centre of a picture-perfect medieval hilltop town, less than a 90 minute drive from the centre of Rome and from either of Rome's two international airports.
