Property Description

Step into a world of timeless elegance with Casa degli Affreschi, a grand 250 m² apartment occupying the entire third floor of a prestigious palazzo in the historic heart of Arpino—a town that has been continuously inhabited since ancient Roman times. This exceptional residence showcases a captivating collection of mid-19th-century frescoes, which adorn its ceilings, with the artist Vincenzo Salvato Paliotti) proudly commemorating his work from 1866. His signature, etched into the main salon's ceiling, serves as a testament to the rich history encapsulated within these walls.

The apartment is a true gem, offering not only historic frescoes but also an exquisite selection of period furnishings and antique details—from the beautifully patterned floor tiles to the ornate wall coverings. Each room, from the expansive halls to the intimate lounges and bedrooms, radiates a sense of refined grandeur.

Situated on the distinguished Via Aquila Romana, a road once trodden by the ancient Romans making their way to the Eternal City, this residence benefits from the finest views across the town and the surrounding countryside. The six balconies provide an ever-changing panorama of the picturesque town streets, including Via Aquila Romana and the charming narrow alleys below.

The apartment layout includes an entrance hall, main hall, lounge, study, kitchen, two bathrooms, and two spacious double bedrooms. Two additional rooms, either of which could serve as a study or Tv room, offer flexibility in design. Original wooden window frames with external shutters preserve the property's charm, while modern utilities and autonomous heating via gas-powered radiators ensure comfort.

While the apartment is well-maintained, some areas would benefit from modernisation, allowing a discerning buyer the opportunity to tailor the space to their personal taste.
