2 bedrooms villa, 90 m²

Arpino, Frosinone (province)

Villa Merrune is an elegant white villa perched in the hills outside Arpino, with a sweeping panoramic view across the valley to the old town.

Ideal for outdoor living, the villa has a huge, fully fenced patio, a very large covered dining patio, and a large first floor terrace, all taking advantage of the splendid view. Nearby (about 30 seconds walk), it has a further 800 sq.mt. of land, with a grove of approximately 20 olive trees.

The living room and the eat-in kitchen both open directly onto the spacious covered patio, which really functions as a further living room. The well-appointed, bright kitchen has a pretty stone fireplace in the dining area. The ground floor also has a bathroom.

On the upper floor, there are two bedrooms, both opening onto the large terrace, and a very attractive black and white bathroom.

The house is beautifully appointed, ready to move into, and being sold furnished.  It has excellent road access with offstreet parking and is less than 90 minutes drive from the centre of Rome.

There is also a separate 20 sq.mt. cellar.

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.
