Vicalvi, Frosinone, Lazio, Italy

Nestled in the authentic heart of the historic centre of Vicalvi, along the charming Via Simoncelli and just a short stroll from the medieval castle, this townhouse is rich in history, charm, and breathtaking views.

The property retains all the authenticity of traditional Italian village architecture while benefiting from stunning panoramic outlooks over the surrounding landscape. With a total cadastral area of 217 sqm (8 rooms), the house is arranged over three levels and features the added advantage of two separate entrances.

One entrance is independent and accessed through a private courtyard, leading directly into the tavern level and providing convenient access from the nearby public parking area. The second, main entrance is located directly on Via Simoncelli.

The ground floor has an entrance hall, kitchen, bathroom, a bright living room (which could also be used as a third bedroom) and a panoramic balcony with views that include the lake within the Posta Fibreno Nature Reserve.

The first floor has three bedrooms, one with ensuite bathroom, and a shared bathroom for the other two bedrooms as well as a second panoramic balcony with beautiful open views across the surrounding countryside

The lower level of the house features a traditional tavern, which forms the true heart of the property. Rich in character, it showcases exposed stone arches and original stone doorways, a fireplace, a cellar, and direct access to the private courtyard.

This charming outdoor area provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying moments of peace and privacy.


VICALVI, ALVITO AND THE CIOCIARIA

Vicalvi and its neighbouring town, Alvito, are among the many 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 Vicalvi itself is 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.
