Geographic features of the Property:
The property is located about 50 km. from Rome and 62 km. from L'Aquila, in the historic region of the
"Marsica."
Marsica is a geographical region that is part of Abruzzo and owes its name to Mount Marsicano.
It is a rich territory, from a naturalistic point of view, with protected areas (National Park
of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise, Gran Sasso National Park and Monti della Laga) wooded areas
(Marsia, Simbruini Mountains Regional Park and Monte Navegna and Monte Cervia Nature Reserve,
Mount Velino Oriented Nature Reserve, Sirente Velino Regional Natural Park Authority), lakes
(Turano, Salto and Campotosto) and small waterfalls.
Ideal for experiencing a stay truly in the midst of nature, discovering villages, castles and towers
medieval, as well as churches, archaeological sites with remains of the ancient Roman fair peoples and of course,
good food.
In fact, the Marsica territory has a rich culinary tradition, thanks also to the typical products and the
breeding (in the wild) of the area, such as garlic, saffron, mushrooms, truffles, artichokes,
sausages and cheeses.
The highlight, however, besides the "pecora agliu cutturu" are the arrosticini di
lamb (small pieces of meat threaded through skewers and barbecued), all washed down with a
glass of good red wine such as Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, a full-bodied red, an ideal
pairing with meat and game. Other wines produced in Abruzzo and much appreciated are the
"Pecorino" and "Trebbiano D'Abruzzo," white wines that pair excellently with first courses, meats
white meats and cheeses and "Cerasuolo," an excellent rosé wine.
During the good season, each municipality organizes festivals and special events (walks
enogastronomic), so it is possible, in addition to visiting historic centers, to taste excellent dishes of the
local tradition and wines from the best wine cellars in Abruzzo (the "Via delle Cantine").
The area and the landscapes surrounding the property, are ideal for trekking on foot, by bicycle or on
horseback riding, hunting and sport fishing and offers evocative views (some scenes from western movies
Italian-style such as "They Called Him Trinity" - Camposecco location - and others, with a medieval background, such as
"Ladyhawke" - Pereto/Piana del Cavaliere -, were filmed in the immediate vicinity of the
property for sale). There are also some archaeological sites of considerable interest nearby, such as Alba Fucens and the ancient
site of Carseoli and numerous municipalities that still preserve intact medieval historic centers, such as.
Arsoli, Roviano, Cervara, Rifreddo, Oricola, Collalto Sabino, Camerata Vecchia, Pereto, Celano,
Scurcola Marsicana, Capestrano, Tagliacozzo (famous for the famous battle of Piani Palentini called
also of Tagliacozzo (August 23, 1268), which was one of the battles that most influenced the course of the history
of Italy. It marked the end of Hoenstaufen power in the peninsula, dealt a heavy blow to the
hopes of the imperial partisans, initiated Angevin rule in the Mezzogiorno).
The property is positioned on the border between Lazio and Abruzzo, at the foot of the built-up area of Rocca di Botte
(AQ) and the Sanctuary of the Madonna dei Bisognosi (608 AD), near the exit
of the A24 Carsoli/Oricola highway and thus, in the center of the Cavaliere Valley (part of the
Simbruini Mountains Regional Park); 8 km from the town of Carsoli (where, in addition to stores of all kinds
kinds, there are four large Shopping Centers and of its small Industrial Area. 74 from the ski slopes of Ovindoli and Rocca di Cambio, about 30 km, from the lakes of Turano and Salto
where it is possible to practice sport fishing and water sports (water skiing, windsurfing, sailing, kitesurfing, etc.).

of L'Aquila), most with still intact ancient vestiges of Castles and Manors or Fortresses to visit, in the
