Frosinone, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy

Casa Ornella is situated in an elegant residential area of the important regional town of Frosinone, and is a very attractive and well-maintained semi-detached villa with gated entrances, internal parking and a 200 sq.mt. private courtyard garden. It is being sold on a furnished basis.

This spacious 3 bedroom 2 bathroom 160 sq.mt. home is configured over two residential levels plus a lower floor used as a hobby and relaxation area.

The lower of the two residential floors is the daytime open-plan living zone with a lounge area, a dining area with an open fireplace which also acts as a "termocamino", an angle kitchen with a table for four for family dining, leading to the pretty courtyard at the rear of the villa, an ideal setting to enjoy al fresco dining. Elegant travertine marble staircases lead to the upper floor and down into the semi-basement.

The upper floor - the 'night zone' - is configured with a double bedroom, two single bedrooms and a beautiful modern bathroom featuring mosaic tiling, a large shower and a double wash hand basin in glass.

The bottom floor is also laid out on an open-plan design and is used by the present owners as a hobby and relaxation area. This floor benefits from also having a bathroom with shower, thus extending the possibilities for use of this level of the home, particularly as there is also direct access to this level from outside.

Other features of this charming property are its cherrywood parquet flooring throughout the upper floors, high-quality Italian single-fired tiling in the hobby/relaxation area and double-glazed thermal-efficient windows throughout the property. Casa Ornella also benefits from an alarm system, mosquito screens, a large water tank, video intercom, an automatic gate for access by car into the internal parking, a separate pedestrian access gate, a home wifi network and autonomous gas central heating.

Although set in a tranquil residential zone, Casa Ornella is only minutes from shops, restaurants, cafés and services. It has excellent access to the superstrada connecting with the main Rome/Naples autostrada, and both the centre of Rome and Rome's international airport are only an hour away.


FROSINONE AND THE CIOCIARIA

Frossinone is one of the major 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. Forinone has a lovely historic centre on the hilltop and a larger modern zone in the valley below with shops, restaurants and all services.

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 Frosinone 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 regional centres of Frosinone or Sora, in the hilltop towns of Alvito, 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 an hour's journey from central Rome or either of Rome's two airports.
