You arrive at the house via a short stretch of unpaved road, which ends in an avenue of cypresses. You are immediately enchanted by the charm of the centuries-old castle and the tower that stands alone next to the house. The castle's origins date back to the 5th-6th centuries AD; it was enlarged in the Lombard era and then renovated in the 11th century.
The property consists of a large and comfortable mezzanine apartment, with triple access from the ground floor and the tower, on three floors. The apartment has an area of approximately 249 m2 and consists of an entrance with barrel vault and original ceiling, on which there is a storage room and a marble bathroom with large shower. You are then in the heart of the house, the large living room with kitchen, characterized by the impressive original high vaulted ceiling. The fireplace is also majestic and takes us back in time, just like the windows and alcoves in each room. Via the wooden stairs we go to the mezzanine, used as a guest room and complete with bathroom with shower. In the living area there is a beautiful tuff arch that leads to the large living area, with a private entrance from the communal garden. The room has many fascinating features: niches of tufa stone in different shapes and sizes, a high wooden and handmade terracotta ceiling, a beautiful stone fireplace. Another archway leads to the hallway, where we find a laundry room and the master bedroom with private bathroom and marble shower, created in a large niche in the thick walls of the building.
At the end of the hallway there is another door that gives access to the green space at the back of the house.
Also included in the sale is the tower, with three floors, with a total of 52 m2. The ground floor is used for storage. The first floor is accessible via the old stone outdoor staircase and you will then find yourself in the living room, also equipped with a sink and an electric hob. You reach the sleeping area with bathroom via the stairs.
The building is located in the Lazio countryside, just 5 km from Civita di Bagnoregio, the "dying city". The house is only 17 km away and has excellent connections to the A1 motorway and the train station. Rome is about an hour and a half away by car. The nearest center is about 3 km away.
