3间卧室房屋, 117 m²

皮廖, Frosinone (省)

Set in a quiet but convenient residential area of Piglio, within walking distance of the main Corso and the historic centre, this house has a courtyard, a large balcony, and its own small terraced garden, as well as a sweeping view. 

Set well back from the road, with an area for parking, the house itself has a wide patio suitable for alfresco dining. From the patio, you enter the largely open plan ground floor: to the left is the kitchen, with attractive solid wood cabinetry. To the right is a sitting/dining area looking out over the patio.

To the back of the ground floor there is a bathroom and a small store cupboard, as well as the stairs to the upper floor.

The upper floor has two large bedrooms, both opening onto the generous balcony, which runs the length of the house and looks out over the historic centre of Piglio and the surrounding hills. There is also another bathroom.

Behind the house is the terraced garden (currently unused and rather overgrown.)


PIGLIO AND THE CIOCIARIA

Piglio is a charming town, which (rather unusually) combines generally good street access with traditional cobbled alleyways. The home of Cesanese del Piglio DOC wine, it has an excellent yearly wine festival, and the town itself has a good selection of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops.

Piglio is part of the the Ciociaria.  The Ciociaria region of Italy  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.

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 Piglio, Anagni, Arpino, Veroli 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.
