Arrone, Umbria 05031

Located in a building dating back to 1100, originally a convent and later converted into a noble residence, this townhouse retains the charm of its history while offering all the comforts of a modern home. The spaces are welcoming and well distributed, with bright and comfortable interiors and large, private and fully usable outdoor areas. The elevated position dominates the valley below and offers a splendid view of the surrounding villages. Access to the house, which is spread over three levels, is through a driveway gate leading to the private, fully enclosed courtyard. On the ground floor, there are two rooms, one of which overlooks an outdoor terrace connected to the courtyard, and a warm and convivial kitchen with a fireplace. An internal staircase leads to the upper floor, where there are two bedrooms, a large bathroom with shower and a hallway with access to a small terrace. The lower floor opens onto a large, bright tavern with a fireplace, already equipped for a kitchen, flanked by two other habitable rooms. This floor has a separate entrance connected to a courtyard below. Outside, among the green areas and paved spaces, the elegant stone and porphyry walls that characterise the entire courtyard on two levels stand out. A pleasant barbecue area has been created on the upper level, ideal for enjoying the outdoors and the surrounding views to the full. A property with rare character in a highly attractive location, suitable both as a holiday home and as a main residence for those seeking history, privacy and beauty. Arrone, in the Casteldilago area, is located in the heart of Valnerina, just a few minutes from Terni, in a setting where medieval villages alternate with green countryside and river parks. It is a quiet yet convenient area: the main services are all very close by and some can even be reached on foot. Supermarkets, bars, restaurants, craft shops and other shops are less than two minutes away by car. Arrone, the main town, has all the administrative offices, while Terni, with its hospital and more structured services, is about 20 minutes away by car, passing one of the area's landmarks, the Marmore Falls. Even before entering the town, it is easy to take the junction to the main national roads: the A1 highway can be reached from the Orte toll booth in about 25 minutes by car, allowing you to reach Rome in less than an hour and Florence in about three. Orvieto can also be reached via the A1, while Perugia can be reached in about an hour via the E45, passing through Todi. In the opposite direction, passing through Spoleto, another city of great cultural interest, you can easily reach Foligno and Assisi. A strategic location that allows you to move easily throughout the region, without sacrificing the privacy and tranquillity of a natural setting of great charm. An ideal home both as a leisure retreat and as a main residence.
