Sora, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy

Pethnouse Marciano
Ref: 026

This remarkable penthouse occupies the entire top floor of an elegant private villa in Sora, on the edge of the Abruzzo National Park. Set in an area of quiet, unspoiled beauty, the property remains exceptionally well connected to the region's main destinations. Rome and its international airports are only about 90 minutes away, while Naples and Pescara can both be reached in roughly one hour via convenient motorway links. The centre of Sora, with its cafés, restaurants and essential services, is just a few minutes from the property, as is the province's main hospital and numerous hiking trails leading into the National Park.

The Villa
The villa was originally built in the 1980s and underwent substantial renovation and modernisation in 2024. Access is through an automatic gate and a beautiful stone driveway, leading to a building divided into three completely independent floors, each with its own private entrance. The penthouse is reached via an elegant private staircase in travertino with decorative balustrades, setting the tone for the refinement found throughout the home.

Interior Layout
With more than 200 square metres of interior space, the penthouse offers generous, light-filled rooms and a sophisticated atmosphere. It opens onto a welcoming vestibule, followed by a study and laundry area. The impressive double living room is finished in fine pink marble that creates beautiful reflections and visual depth, and it opens onto a panoramic terrace of more than 60 square metres, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. The living spaces flow into a separate dining room and a well-appointed kitchen.

The sleeping area includes three bedrooms, with the master suite featuring a private balcony and its own bathroom. A second bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms, and a third bathroom could easily be added if desired. The entire penthouse has been fully renovated and is ready for immediate occupation once furnished.

Outdoor Spaces
Outside, the property benefits from two large private courtyards offering ample possibilities: outdoor entertaining, space for a small swimming pool, or the construction of a private garage. Parking for two or three cars is also available. A spacious shared cellar, used by the residents of the other two floors, completes the property.

Utilities
The heating system consists of radiators powered by an LPG tank, with full provision in place for connection to the mains gas network. The property is also connected to mains water and uses a septic system.


LOCATION
Southern Lazio region

Sora is a gracious riverside town, and the nearby historic hilltop town of ARPINO, are two of the enchanting medieval 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 Sora and Arpino are 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 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 only 90 to 120 minutes minutes journey from central Rome or either of Rome's two airports.
