2 bedrooms semi-detached house, 70 m²

Vicalvi, Frosinone (province)

A property with good access, close to services and in a prime location in Vicalvi consisting of a semi detached residential house with two garages and commercial space. The property also includes two separate rustic buildings adjacent to the house with separate entrance and garden. The residential house on Via Delicata, close to the Post Office, has approximately 70 m² of accommodation space and is in good overall condition. It has an entrance separate from the commercial side of the building with a common courtyard with parking.

The house is charming and neat and consists of a kitchen with fireplace, a living room, a single bedroom, a double bedroom and two balconies. It retains some lovely original features such as double leaf timber doors, pretty terrazzo flooring and substantial solid interior walls. The  commercial portion of the building has a historic commercial unit of just under 30 m² and two garages with a total of about 50 m² and all are accessed from Via Vandra.

The rustic country house adjacent to the first building has an independent entrance and garden and is likewise in a prime location. Total floor area is about 120 m² and the garden is approximately 300 m². The location, close to the main road but with entry from the quieter Via Delicata, allows for easy access in the event of any reconstruction or renovation. The location and the nature of the property, well linked to the wider area, close to local amenities and services would be excellently suited to a possible guest accommodation business, subject of course to any licensing and permissions. This property, with huge potential, in an enviable location and with easy access in the event of any building work, represents a wonderful opportunity for anyone considering a potential hospitality offering in this wonderful and historic region.

Vicalvi 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 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 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 Vicalvi, 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.
