Arpino, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy

Casa Julietta is a lovely fully-restored home in the style of the end of the 1800s

A spacious entrance leads through into an attractive large kitchen and dining room. From here, an arch leads into a large salon with an open fireplace, beautiful old wood ceilings and a fine view across Arpino and the valley beyond to the distant mountains.

One bedroom has a fine wood ceiling. It has a walk in wardrobe area leading to a modern bathroom.

The other bedroom is very large, with its own dressing room/private study area. It too has a fine modern bathroom. This bathroom has a second door into the main living areas, so it can be used by guests without their needing to walk through the bedroom.

The fixtures and fittings throughout the apartment are of solid wood and there is autonomous gas-fired central heating. The property is ready for immediate occupancy.

The property is in a quiet, peaceful location in the upper part of Arpino and has two street entrances, one exclusive to the property and one shared with another apartment. It is a pleasant stroll through the vicoli (the narrow winding medieval streets) of the historic centre to reach shops and restaurants. There is nearby street parking.

ARPINO AND THE CIOCIARIA

Arpino 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 Arpino 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, 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.
