Arpino, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy

Villa Alma is located in quiet rolling countryside, tranquil and secluded but very near the medieval hilltop town of Arpino, which provides access to many bars, cafes, restaurants, shops and services.

The property consists of a large modern six bedroom four bathroom 360 sq.mt. home set in 6,600 sq.mt. of gated grounds. Villa Alma can be divided into two 180 sq.mt. apartments, each with a separate external entrance, central heating, etc., thus making it an ideal solution either for an extended family or creating the possibility to earn rental income.

Villa Alma benefits from spacious high-ceilinged rooms, a modern kitchen with an open fireplace and modern bathrooms. An elegant upper floor balcony and a very large terrace for al fresco summer dining are additional features.

There is ample space for a swimming pool in the extensive grounds.

Positioned in the lovely residential area of Collecarino with sweeping views over the valley, Villa Alma is very near two excellent restaurants. The hilltop town of Arpino and the bustling riverside town of Isola de Liri are both only a few minutes drive. The property has a garage, excellent road access, and it is only 90 minutes drive to Rome and to Rome's Fiumicini airport. Rome's second airport, Ciampino is even nearer, only an hour away.

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.
