Description
REF 015
This elegant early-19th-century palazzetto is located in the historic heart of Alvito, in a commanding position overlooking the scenic Comino Valley. The property extends over approximately 250 square metres across three floors and retains its period character, with vaulted ceilings, decorative cornices, and a charming niche above the entrance door containing a fresco of the Madonna and Child.
GROUND FLOOR
On the ground floor, which measures about 120 square metres, the house opens with an entrance hall leading to a guest bathroom and a spacious kitchen. A large hallway connects to a beautiful original stone cellar, which could easily be transformed into a wine room or tasting area, creating a unique feature for the property.
FIRST FLOOR
A beautiful travertine staircase leads to the first floor, of around 80 square metres. Here, two generous hallways connect to a bathroom and two impressive reception rooms. These rooms enjoy sweeping views of the Comino Valley and could be joined together to form one magnificent open living space.
SECOND FLOOR
The second floor offers yet another bathroom, a hallway with a fireplace and a secondary kitchen. Two additional large rooms complete this level, offering the possibility of creating bedrooms or further living spaces according to your needs.
OUTSIDE AREA
Outside, there is private parking directly in front of the house. Through a gate, you enter a shared stone courtyard that leads to a private area where you could create a small solarium with jacuzzi or an outdoor barbecue space, the ideal spot to enjoy the stunning panoramic views of the valley.
The property is in need of full renovation, providing an excellent opportunity to design and create a bespoke residence that combines historic charm with modern comfort. It is already connected to the municipal sewer system, has access to the public water supply and can be connected to mains gas. A purchase-and-renovation package can also be offered to simplify the process.
This historic palazzo is a rare opportunity for anyone looking for an authentic Italian home with space, history, and breathtaking views - perfect as a private residence, a boutique hospitality project, or a second home in a picturesque medieval village.
LOCATION
Comino Valley & South Lazio Region
Nestled in the heart of Italy, the Val di Comino is one of Lazio's most captivating and unspoiled treasures. This lush, green valley, home to around 20 historic villages, is a land where authentic tradition, natural beauty, and fine gastronomy converge. Surrounded by rolling hills and ancient woodlands, the area offers a rare combination of tranquility and accessibility, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers, cultural enthusiasts, and investors alike.
The valley enjoys a privileged location - on the doorstep of the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio, and Molise, Italy's oldest and most biodiverse national park - while also being conveniently connected to the rest of the country via the Autostrada del Sole and main railway lines. From here, Rome and Naples are both within easy reach, only 90 minutes' drive, making the Val di Comino an exceptional choice for those seeking peace without isolation.
Scattered across the valley are ancient villages dating back to the early centuries BC. During the summer and autumn months, these towns come alive with cultural festivals, open-air markets, music, and fireworks, drawing both locals and visitors into a rich tapestry of tradition and celebration.
Among the most fascinating of these villages is Alvito, a historic medieval town that rises proudly along the slopes of Mount Morrone. Once the seat of a powerful duchy, Alvito preserves an atmospheric historic centre characterised by narrow cobbled streets, stone archways, elegant noble palaces, and the impressive ruins of its ancient castle, which dominate the entire valley below. The town is well known for its vibrant cultural calendar, including summer concerts, art exhibitions, and local food festivals that celebrate the region's rich culinary heritage. Its strategic location also makes it an ideal base for exploring the Comino Valley, the National Park trails, and nearby historical centres such as Arpino and Atina.
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, South Lazio remains largely an unspoilt gem with beautiful scenery and medieval hilltop towns. A home or second home in South Lazio - in villages like Alvito or in the rolling countryside that surrounds them - offers a setting where over two thousand years of history combine with an idyllic rural Italian lifestyle. Here, you can still discover the "real" Italy, take time out from the busy crowds of the larger tourist cities, and yet remain less than ninety minutes from central Rome and its two international airports.
