3 bedrooms villa, 279 m²

Arpino, Frosinone (province)

Villetta Pietro Nenni is a charming villa set in gated grounds located in Arpino (Fr) with the double elevation of the exterior of the house totalling some 300 sq.mt.  It is located in a dominant and sunny location, with large courtyards in front and behind the home adding a further 1,000 sq.mt.   And an integral feature of this striking property is its setting in its own 1,600 sq.mt. of olive groves.

The villa has excellent road access to the nearby hamlet of Carnello, the vibrant riverside town of Isola del Liri with its spectacular waterfall, and the regional centre of Sora, while itself being located just outside the historic centre of the medieval hilltop town of Arpino. 

The automatic wrought iron gates to the property swing open to reveal an entrance set in the centre of splendid flower beds leading onto a large stone-tiled front courtyard bordering the olive groves, which surround most of the villa, allowing the elegant home to become part of the landscape. 

Completely renovated in 2012 with balconies and terraces on all four sides, this home enjoys a relaxing and luminous panoramic view every day. The villa has been restored with a classic configuration over two floors: the main floor on the  upper (first) floor and a ground floor. On the first floor, in addition to the hallway of 13 sq.mt., a welcoming area designed with attention to the smallest details, meticulously laid with parquet flooring, we find the living area -  23 sq.mt. of sunlit space for relaxation:  opposite there is access to a splendid  23 sq.mt. kitchen completely renovated with elegant white-lacquered cabinetry and functional, perfect styling, all made ever more welcoming in winter by an attractive purpose-built fireplace. The whole interior has a very rational distribution of space, including an excellent division between the bedroom area and the living zone achieved by dividing the two areas by means of a beautiful double-leaf glass door with designs etched on frosted glass, excellent for a perfect combination of brightness and privacy, and itself a sophisticated and lovely item of furniture. 

Beyond that we find a hallway of 6 sq.mt. leading to the night zone where there are three bedrooms each of 17 sq.mt. - 20 sq.mt. and another of 20 sq.mt. a balcony of 20 sq.mt., a bathroom with shower of 6 sq.mt. all completely renovated with total parquet flooring in the bedrooms, fully tiled bathrooms and double glazed windows. 

The ground floor is accessed from the outside and here we find an entertaining and relaxation area with a hobby/entertaining room of 28 sq.mt., a tavern of 20 sq.mt., a rustic kitchen of 10 sq.mt., and a fully tiled bathroom with shower of 9 sq.mt., together with a cellar of 23 sq-mt., all of which have been renovated and paved attractively.  Finally on this level, we have two ancillary rooms being : a garage of 20 sq.mt. and a storage room also of 20 sq.mt. 

There is an autonomous heating system with an underground GPL tank.

The property affords privacy without being isolated and is eminently suited to those who are seeking a spacious family home with panoramic views while being only a few moment’s drive from restaurants, cafés, shops and services - and only 90 minutes drive from Rome and Rome’s airports.


ARPINO AND THE CIOCIARIA  Arpino is one of the major medieval hilltop 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 Arpino 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 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 less than ninety minutes journey from central Rome or either of Rome's two airports.
