3间卧室历史性住宅, 749 m²

阿尔皮诺, Frosinone (省)

Located just off the central square of the Civita Falconara district, one of Arpino's oldest historical neighborhoods, the origins of the palazzo date back to the 15th century. It has subsequently been home to prominent figures from the nearby church of Santa Maria di Civita, imbuing the residence with a unique spiritual and historical depth. 

Courtyard 
The property opens onto an internal courtyard with original cobblestone paving dating back to the 17th-18th centuries. The entrance is enhanced by an arch featuring a fresco of the district's emblem-a falcon, symbolizing strength and protection-welcoming those who enter. Behind it, you can spot the remains of a delicatedly toned religious fresco. A staircase, dominated by a lion statue bearing the family crest, leads to the noble floor of the palace. 

'Piano Nobile' 
On the main floor of the building, five reception rooms feature variously a frescoed ceiling, old wallpaper, and original flooring, creating a unique atmosphere perfect for private events or elegant ceremonies. The large salon, about 40 square meters with nearly 5-meter-high ceilings, offers the ideal space for memorable get togethers. From here, you access the study, with original terracotta flooring, and the two master bedrooms, rooms dominated by high coffered ceilings and chandeliers. 

An internal staircase leads to a room from which further stairs lead to the panoramic terrace, one of the most picturesque spots in the palace. From here, one can enjoy an extraordinary view of the valley and the dome of Santa Maria di Civita, which stands just a few meters away. 

Second Floor Apartment, Garage, and Cellars 
In addition to the main residence, the palace offers a separate, generously sized apartment in need of some improvements, with bright salons, bedrooms, and a kitchen-ideal for hosting guests privately or as a second residence. 

The property also includes a large garage, along with several cellars and storage rooms. 

The electrical, heating, and plumbing systems require updating. 

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.
