Arpino, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy

A stunning, centrally located apartment, at the top of a building running between the prestigious Via Aquila Romana and the main Corso, with views out across the valley, and a fine roof terrace

The apartment has two entrances: the main one into the apartment's own entrance hall, and a side one directly into the private sleeping area.

The main door leads into a pleasant entrance hall, from which doors lead variously into the study/smaller sitting room, the kitchen and the bedroom area. The study/smaller sitting room, has views across the valley, after which there is the large main sitting room, which runs the full depth of the building and has windows on three sides, looking out over the valley, up at the higher part of the old town, and into the maze of alleys of the historic centre.

From here you can reach the comfortable kitchen, and the stairs to the upper terrace. The stairs lead to an upper room, from which large glassed doors open onto the roof terrace, which has sweeping views. You can also access extensive attic space.

Past the stairs is the kitchen, and beyond that the private family area, with four large bedrooms and two bathrooms. One bedroom has a door onto a small balcony in an interior light well.

There is also a share of the old stone cantina.

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 publicised 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 Alvito 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.
