3间卧室别墅, 250 m²

阿尔切, Frosinone (省)

Villa Fontanelle is an attractive detached villa of 210 m2 just outside the historic town of Arce.  The property is configured over three levels: ground floor, first floor and second floor/attic and is set in grounds of approximately 3600 m2. 

The entrance gates open to reveal a courtyard leading to the main entrance to the villa.  Immediately there is a splendidly spacious lounge of some 30 m2, from which a hallway/corridor leads to the other rooms on this level: a kitchen, a bathroom with shower and a bedroom.  Here too are the external stairs to access the first floor, which is configured with an entrance/corridor, kitchen, a dining room with fireplace and balcony, a bathroom with bathtub, and two bedrooms. 

The property was renovated in the nineties, it is habitable and is generally in good condition; however, restoration work is necessary on the the second floor/attic and the access thereto. 

Being free-standing on all four sides, this home enjoys excellent natural lighting;  the windows are double glazed in wood with grills; it is powered by an LPG heating system with radiators. The raised position, the large surrounding grounds and the balcony allow Villa Fontanelle to enjoy a splendid panoramic view; however,  with the centre of Arce being only about 300 meters away, all shops, restaurants and services are readily to hand.

Villa Fontanelle benefits from excellent road access - Rome and Rome Fiumicino airport are barely 90 minutes away, and Rome Ciampino airport is only just over one hour's drive.

ARCE AND THE CIOCIARIA
Arce is one of the many beautiful medieval and renaissance 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 Arce 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, Arce 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.
