Casa Serena
Ref: 018
Fully restored Ancient Stone House
Nestled within the ancient Acropolis - the fortified heart - of the iconic hilltop town of Arpino - this charming 170 sqm stone house offers a rare chance to live in one of Europe's oldest continuously inhabited fortified settlements. Located just 90 minutes from Rome, this exceptional property lies in a place of profound archaeological and cultural importance, internationally recognized and proudly listed on Italy's tentative UNESCO World Heritage list.
LAYOUT
The property offers 170 sqm of beautifully restored interior space, plus an additional 60 sqm of private outdoor areas, including a charming stone-paved courtyard, a wooden portico, and a small garden.
Spread across three floors plus a lower ground level, the home opens on the ground floor with a spacious living room (approx. 30 sqm) with original terracotta flooring and soaring timber-beamed ceilings illuminated by two large skylights. From here, a hand-crafted rustic kitchen continues the aesthetic - complete with custom-made wood and ceramic finishes, a traditional stone fireplace, and charming artisanal details throughout. This space opens directly onto a private stone-paved courtyard with a beautiful wooden portico, ideal for dining al fresco and enjoying the surrounding greenery. A small garden and a generous stone-paved cantina are also accessible from the courtyard.
Descending from the main living room, an ancient stone cistern has been carefully converted into a dramatic wine cellar and convivial entertaining space - a perfect blend of heritage and hospitality.
A beautiful staircase in chestnut wood leads to the first floor, where a versatile room functions as a bedroom or study, served by a full bathroom and a large laundry area. From this level, it is also possible to extend the footprint of the house to create an additional bedroom, offering further potential for customisation.
The top floor is home to the master suite - a quiet, luminous space under timber beams and skylights, offering warmth, privacy, and charm.
With its rare position along Arpino's historic defensive walls and its characterful restoration that preserves the soul of the building, this property represents a truly exceptional opportunity. It is ideal as a primary residence, a romantic retreat, or a one-of-a-kind guest house in a location that continues to captivate lovers of history, art, and Italian authenticity.
LOCATION
Arpino & South Lazio Region
Arpino is a place where time seems to slow, and the soul finds peace. Just 90 minutes from the bustling streets of Rome and Naples, this ancient town, perched among the rolling hills of South Lazio, offers an unparalleled escape into Italy's heart. Imagine walking through winding medieval alleys, surrounded by centuries of history, where vineyards and olive groves stretch into the distance. Despite its historic tranquility, Arpino is a lively town with a rich cultural heritage and vibrant community. It hosts festivals, local markets, and events throughout the year, allowing you to experience authentic Italian life in a dynamic, yet unspoiled setting. Unlike the more widely known regions of Tuscany and Umbria, South Lazio remains a peaceful sanctuary-where authentic Italian life flourishes in unspoiled harmony. From here, the vibrant energy of Rome and Naples is within easy reach, offering you the opportunity to explore art, history, and culture, and then return to the calm embrace of this beautiful corner of Italy, where timeless beauty, rich tradition, and a slower pace of life await.
