We are delighted to bring to your attention this splendid independent villa spanning 350 square meters, with balconies, a wonderful portico and with additional amenities such as a brick oven/barbecue and a gazebo. Recently renovated to achieve a high energy efficiency rating of A4, this villa is situated in an elegant residential neighborhood in Boville Ernica. The property is on three levels: ground floor, first floor, and second floor, and is cleverly designed to cater to a range of needs from relaxation to physical activity and fitness to domestic and home life.

Entering the main entrance on the ground floor, on the left one encounters an antechamber, a hallway connecting a gymnasium area to a service bathroom and a laundry/drying area. The remaining part of the ground floor is a spacious ’taverna’ entertaining area of 55 square meters, with a kitchen/dining room complete with a fireplace, home theater projector, and billiard table. The kitchen seamlessly connects to a pantry and an additional service bathroom.

The main hallway stairs lead to the upper levels.

The first floor, accessible from both inside and outside, is dedicated to relaxation. Ascending the stairs, one is immediately greeted by a spacious salon of 35 square meters, adorned with a travertine fireplace and connected to a study, a dining room, and an external portico. All rooms are equipped with balconies offering stunning panoramic views. Completing the first floor are a bathroom and a kitchen, also connected to the external portico.

Ascending to the second floor we find the sleeping quarters; a corridor connects all rooms, including two bathrooms and a total of five bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study, and each featuring a balcony.

The outdoor area is enchanting, with a swimming pool, a beautiful tennis court with nighttime illumination, a gazebo and a spacious garden. There is a large garage with tilt-up door and a tool shed.

On a wonderful site in a great location the villa commands wonderful uninterrupted views on all four sides. The open location and dominant position in the beautiful rolling Italian countryside of olives groves and vineyards allows light to stream into the house and throughout the house. The clever design combining contemporary knowledge with the wisdom of ancient building experience means the light and warmth are beautifully managed. To complement this and thanks to more recent renovations the structure boasts a high-performance energy system rated A4, complete with a photovoltaic system mounted atop the garage, thermal insulation, double-glazed internal windows, and aluminum external fixtures. The property is fueled by natural gas with a segmented system and is equipped with both heating and cooling air conditioning systems, as well as a thermal efficient fireplace in the living area.

BOVILLE EENICA AND THE CIOCIARIA
Boville Ernica is one of the 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 Boville Ernica 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 favor 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 Boville Ernica, 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.
