Description
Ref: 082
Casa Antico Frantoio
Built into the ancient defensive walls of Boville Ernica and extending above the historic Porta Santa Maria, this elegant 17th-century residence combines remarkable architectural character with sweeping views across the surrounding valley.
At the heart of the property lies a large, fully enclosed courtyard garden. One end is sheltered by an impressive old stone portico, creating a cool and shaded retreat during the summer months, while the open garden and panoramic rooftop terrace are perfectly positioned to enjoy the winter sunshine.
The extensive stone cellars are particularly atmospheric, with vaulted ceilings and an original stone olive mill that reflects the agricultural history of the house.
From the courtyard, the main entrance opens into a small hall providing access to a substantial storage area and to the staircase leading to the principal living floor.
The upper floor offers generous and versatile accommodation, including a large kitchen with fireplace, three spacious reception and dining rooms, three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a pantry with laundry area. One of the reception rooms opens directly onto the approximately 50-square-metre panoramic terrace.
One of the bedrooms forms part of Porta Santa Maria itself, one of the original gateways into the medieval town. This exceptional room features elegant frescoed ceilings and a curved balcony overlooking the valley. A second bedroom is distinguished by its beautiful vaulted ceiling.
The property is currently habitable and retains an abundance of original features, although it would benefit from general maintenance, redecoration and thoughtful modernisation. With sensitive restoration, it could become a truly outstanding historic home.
Dating back to at least the 17th century, the house enjoys a peaceful yet easily accessible position within the historic centre of Boville Ernica. The town's principal piazzas, shops, cafés and restaurants are all just a short walk away.
LOCATION
Boville Ernica & Southern Lazio Region
Boville Ernica is one of the many charming medieval hilltop towns in the area of Italy known as the Southern Lazio region-fertile and picturesque land lying between Rome and Naples, nestled inland among rolling hills in the very heart of Italy. This region is within easy reach of both Rome and Naples, including their international airports. A day's shopping in Rome is a common pastime, while an even shorter drive brings you to the beautiful beaches along the coast south of the capital. Alternatively, head east and you'll reach the Abruzzo National Park, where horse trekking through beech forests and swimming in crystal-clear mountain lakes and rivers await during the summer months. In winter, ski slopes are also just under an hour away, despite the milder climate of Boville Ernica itself.
Often overlooked by tourists and foreign buyers in favour of more publicised regions such as Tuscany and Umbria, the Southern Lazio region remains one of Italy's best-kept secrets-largely unspoiled, with spectacular landscapes and authentic medieval hill towns. A home or second residence in Southern Lazio-in Boville Ernica, Arpino, Veroli, Alatri, Alvito, or in the surrounding countryside-offers a unique opportunity to experience more than two thousand years of history combined with an idyllic rural Italian lifestyle. Here, you can still discover the 'real' Italy, far from the crowds, while remaining less than 90 minutes from central Rome and both of its major airports.
