3 bedrooms top-to-bottom house, 100 m²

Monte Compatri, Rome (province)

Cosy and picturesque "palazzetto cielo-terra" (the Italian term for an independent house made up of all floors from the ground floor to roof) , in Monte Compatri (RM), a town in the famous Alban Hills (Castelli Romani) area. This versatile property has its own independent entrance and was renovated by a couple of Argentinean architects in a style that is a unique and interesting mixbetween traditional style - typical of Italian historical centers - and a more international style, reminiscent of the Dutch townhouses.
The layout of the space is well designed and well maintained: the property is built over 5 storeys, with high ceilings. Each room, each on a single floor and "open space", is connected to the next by suspended flights of wooden and iron stairs. The rooms are as follows: a large kitchen with large 3m x 2m balcony on the ground floor, a small bedroom with private bathroom on the lower floor, the beautiful living room with study on the first floor, a second  bedroom - currently used as a yoga room - on the second floor and finally the top floor currently used as the main bedroom. There is a small fireplace, large built-in wardrobes - restored last year - plenty of wooden bookcases and various niches. Two bathrooms, one with bathtub.
The house faces East-west in all the rooms and, from the top floor, South.
The property is in a very quiet and peaceful location, despite being in the historic center of the town and therefore very close to all facilities and shops. From all the rooms you can enjoy the stunning panoramic, contemplative view, which opens up widely over a valley, green woods and the picturesque surrounding area. You can admire it at different times of the day and in the different seasons, in its changing shades from dawn to dusk.
There is a efficient door-to-door reycling collection service and, being an independent house, there is no communal service charge.
The house is perfect for singles, couples or families with one child, for those looking for a housing solution well connected to Rome but far from the chaos of the city. For lovers of beauty, peace and contemplation.

Among the most important and famous nearby sites, just to name a few, the Bargo Borghese - which is the largest architectural complex of Roman antiquity with its mysterious origins - and the stunning Tusculum, a picturesque hill with an ancient Roman theater and important ruins , which have fascinated in the past centuries the Romantic writers and travelers of the Grand Tour coming from Northern Europe. There are also several easy and interesting hikes you can walk in the area, including some within a walking distance from the property.
