FAQs:
Why sell?
We really love our home in Rome and are reluctant to sell it. However we have decided that the UK is where we prefer to be.
Who would like to live here?
This very comfortable, spacious condo is ideal for either a large family seeking three double bedrooms and lots of storage space; an executive couple who enjoy entertaining with the addition of an office/den and guest accommodation; or maybe a property investor seeking an apartment suitable for corporate letting.
What's included (briefly)?
All of the permanent fittings are included (shelves, light fittings, ceiling fans etc) along with all of the fitted furniture. This could be especially useful for those re-locating from abroad who wish to dispense with the hassle of finding the perfect piece of furniture to blend in with their new Italian pad and then having to transport it or move it in.
What's it like living here?:
In a word relaxing. Our lovely home in Rome is away from the hustle and bustle of town, an ideal family home in a quiet neighbourhood with only 6 other apartments in the building.
It is conveniently situated within easy reach of all local amenities with good bus and train connections. 5 minutes by car from Grottaferrata village centre; 10 minutes from lively Frascati town centre; and only 25 minutes from the centre of the city of Rome.
The interior is very spacious and airy with double French doors from every room leading onto balconies on three sides of the building - taking full advantage of the peaceful semi-rural location. On sunny days the sun moves around the building and by late morning floods the main balcony with bright sunshine until early evening - giving you ample opportunity to relax in the sunshine or enjoy a barbecue.
If you prefer to keep cool in the shade, the main balcony is fitted with full length, adjustable retractable sun canopies. All of the balconies have lights and the spacious main balcony is an ideal area for drinks or dinner parties with family and friends on a warm summer evening.
How soon could I move in?
Whoever makes our condo their 'home in Rome' will be able to move in straight away after completion, enjoy living with a peaceful outlook in the Alban Hills, have nice views and discover a calm escape from the hustle and bustle of city life - all this with lots of space, 3 balconies and just 25 minutes from the centre of historic Rome.
