VILLLA DENISE
Ref: 007
Elegant Country Home in Iconic Comino Valley

Located in the heart of the Comino Valley - a lush, sun-drenched landscape dotted with medieval towns, vineyards and olive groves, just 90 minutes from Rome - Villa Denise is set within a beautifully landscaped Mediterranean garden of approximately 500 sqm. The property sits on one hectare of land with mature olive trees and unfolds across three levels, offering a total internal area of around 300 sqm. Highlights include a scenic 20 sqm panoramic terrace, a covered portico, and an inviting outdoor pergola, ideal for al fresco living.

Exteriors
The house stands on a slightly raised position and is accessed through an artisan-crafted iron gate set within a low, hand-built stone wall-typical of rural architecture in central Italy. There are two entrances: a vehicular one with an electric gate and paved driveway allowing direct access to the garage, and a pedestrian entrance leading to a beautifully cultivated Mediterranean garden, which opens onto the porch and the main ground floor door.

The façade, plastered in soft cream tones, is punctuated by arched wooden shutters and a stone-clad turret on the eastern side - a distinguishing element that recalls the eclectic "liberty rurale" style found in villa architecture between the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Italy.

Ground Floor
The ground floor, spanning over 150 sqm, is completed and fully habitable. It features a spacious and luminous living area with a tiled wood-burning fireplace, ceramic flooring throughout, and arched openings between the dining and sitting rooms. The kitchen is finished in classic Italian countryside style with a breakfast bar faced with white and black ceramic tiles.

There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms on this level, each bedroom offering direct access to a panoramic terrace at the back of the property, with sweeping views over the valley. A covered portico overlooking the Mediterranean garden completes the floor, offering the perfect spot for outdoor dining or quiet relaxation.

Quality finishes, double-glazed PVC windows, tiled floors and air conditioning (in the dining area) ensure year-round comfort.


First Floor
The upper floor, structurally complete and enclosed with double-glazed windows and shutters, remains unfinished - a blank canvas for those who wish to create a second apartment, a master suite with panoramic terrace, a studio or guest accommodation. With high ceilings and a spacious layout mirroring the floor below, the possibilities are wide open.


Additional Potential
The lower ground floor, currently used as a garage, offers excellent potential for conversion into a taverna, hobby room, or additional living space, depending on your needs. Moreover, the expansive outdoor area provides ample space for the installation of a swimming pool, enhancing the investment value of the property.

Beyond the immediate garden, the property includes approximately one hectare of gently sloping land planted with around 50 olive trees. This peaceful grove provides not only shade and natural beauty, but also the opportunity to produce your own olive oil - an experience deeply rooted in the cultural fabric of the region.

The villa is equipped with mains water, methane gas heating (via radiators), a septic tank, and alarm system pre-installation. Outdoor areas are perfect for entertaining, with a shaded dining terrace and ample space for family and friends to gather under the southern Italian sun.

LOCATION
Comino Valley & South Lazio Region

Nestled at the center of Italy, just over an hour south of Rome, the Comino Valley is one of Lazio's most captivating and unspoiled treasures. This lush, green valley - home to around 20 ancient villages - is surrounded by rolling meadows, centuries-old woodlands, vineyards and olive groves. Here, authentic Italian traditions, fine gastronomy, and natural beauty converge, making the valley one of Italy's best-kept secrets.

The valley enjoys a privileged location, bordering Italy's oldest and most biodiverse national park - the Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise - while remaining well-connected to the rest of the country via the A1 motorway and major railway lines. Both Rome and Naples are within easy reach (around 90 minutes by car), making the Comino Valley ideal for those seeking peace and authenticity without isolation.

Scattered across the valley are villages with deep historical roots, many dating back to the early Roman or even pre-Roman periods. During summer and autumn, the area is animated by traditional festivals, concerts, food fairs and historical reenactments, offering a rich cultural experience that still feels local and uncommercial.

Among these, Casalvieri stands out for its charm and authenticity. A historic village of Samnite and Roman origin, Casalvieri was once part of the ancient Via Latina route and later flourished during the Middle Ages as a fortified hilltop community. Its old town, perched gently on a ridge, features narrow stone alleys, noble residences, panoramic viewpoints, and two beautifully preserved churches from the Baroque and Neoclassical periods. Casalvieri's atmosphere remains deeply local and genuine - a place where everyday life follows the rhythm of the land, and where family-run bakeries, cafés and olive mills still form the fabric of the town.

Often overlooked by mass tourism in favour of more commercialised regions like Tuscany or Umbria, South Lazio offers the same historical depth and natural beauty - without the crowds. Owning a home in towns like Arpino, Alvito or in the surrounding countryside means immersing yourself in a lifestyle where two thousand years of history blend with an idyllic rural rhythm, and where Rome and its airports remain less than ninety minutes away.
