Alvito, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy

Casa Castello
Ref: 028

In one of the most beautiful areas of the Ciociaria in the foothills of the Appennines southeast of Rome, in the medieval hilltop town of Alvito, a charming townhouse is nestled right next to the historic Alvito Castle. A privileged location that combines the charm of history with the tranquility of an authentic rural setting. Restaurants, cafés, shops and services are only a few minutes drive away in the historic centre of Alvito; and less than a 90 minute drive from Rome and Rome's airports.

This detached property is configured over three levels with a total surface area of approximately 155 square meters. The ground floor features a cellar and an additional room, a multipurpose stone-vaulted space ideal as an entertaining area given its independent access. The living area on the first floor includes a kitchen with fireplace, a bright living room, a bathroom with shower, a bedroom, and a hallway. The sleeping area on the second floor comprises two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom. A 20 square meter garage is included in the sale, just steps from the home, a rare convenience in the historic center.

Casa Accanto Al Castello is available immediately and is in good structural condition, although it requires modernization, particularly regarding the heating system (currently consisting of a single wood-burning stove).

An ideal opportunity for those seeking a primary residence, a vacation home, or an investment in the heart of a village rich in history and culture, with breathtaking views.

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.
