Villa Vllefredda:  This splendid detached villa just outside Arpino, in Contrada Vallefredda, is immediately ready to become a home and is in excellent condition throughout.

It is arranged across three levels and boasts a total area of 580 square meters. Featuring 13 rooms and 4 bathrooms in a residential space of 250 square meters the property also has a 5 square meter balcony and a 10 square meter terrace. The exterior unfolds across 200 square meters, with an additional 15 square meter cellar. The property presents a delightful exterior with its four free sides and external views boasting ample natural brightness. Independent entrances lead to interconnected spaces, while the exteriors offer ideal settings for hours of relaxation or outdoor reading, perfect for leisurely morning breakfasts and lively evening feasts.

Characterized by a clever and carefully planned architectural design, the property has truly marvelous panoramic views of the stunning Italian countryside sweeping away toward distant mountains and dotted with utterly beguiling villages and villas, farms and fields. This beautiful expanse offers not only daily visual enjoyment as we look out from the house but generous and abundant sunlight streams in warming every corner of the home and lending the residence a tranquil, almost dreamlike charm.

The pedestrian entrance on the street grants access to the First Floor, where a sturdy reinforced door opens into a spacious 11 square meter entrance. The entry hallway is adorned with an elegant and pleasing wooden ceiling, an architectural element lending a rustic charm with a pleasingly contemporary and well built feel. A wood-clad arch separates the entrance from the 20 square meter living room which has access to the balcony and features a thermo fireplace, infusing the space with a rather Tuscan ambiance. A 4 square meter kitchenette with an anteroom of similar size, and a 6 square meter bathroom with a shower cubicle add to the allure.

The layout of the central corridor reveals well-designed spaces, the highlight being the expansive 22 square meter kitchen, which leads to the charming 11 square meter terrace - an ideal spot to savor the splendid panorama and indulge in elegant breakfasting, tranquil afternoons for work or relaxation and lively evenings dining and entertaining. Also from the kitchen, access is granted to the 30 square meter annex which has an independent external entrance to the street, complemented by driveway paving for parking convenience.

A splendid custom-made staircase ascends to the SECOND FLOOR sleeping quarters, boasting oak-colored wooden steps which blend seamlessly with the beautiful parquet floors found throughout this level. Here, a spacious 10 square meter landing leads to a 10 square meter bedroom, followed by the 15 square meter master bedroom, connected by another hallway leading to the main bathroom, measuring 4 square meters and complete with a shower cubicle fully tiled for a luxurious finish. The rich and warm parquet floors run seamlessly across the spaces and with the large windows allowing abundant natural light to flood the interiors the whole space feels bright and airy yet comfortable and inviting.

Descending to the ground floor, a fusion of classicism and modernity awaits and here the house provides spaces which might be tailored to suit individual tastes and needs. A grand porch, an expansive courtyard spanning 300 square meters, a 45 square meter tavern, a 25 square meter two-room apartment, and a 15 square meter cellar are to be found. This level is bursting with potential and here in particular specific individual needs for space and accommodation could be met.

The property is fully equipped with features including an reinforced entrance door, a thermo fireplace with cast iron radiators, parking space on driveway pavement, and air conditioning, ensuring both comfort and security.

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 publicised 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 Alvito 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.
