House for sale in Boville Ernica - ITALY

Luxury Villa for sale in Piazza Santo Stefano, Boville Ernica, Provincia di Frosinone, Latium

A splendid 14th century stone monastery, situated in a panoramic position in the medieval village of Boville Ernica (FR)
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The convent (approximately 1,000 m2 in total) is annexed to the Church of San Francesco, now deconsecrated and owned by the municipality which has set up a splendid collection of works of art to complement the splendid frescoes covering the walls.
The convent itself, structured on three floors, wraps around the beautiful central cloister and consists of large halls, 10 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
With the renovation of the other rooms, additional bedrooms and bathrooms could be obtained so as to increase the possible accommodation capacity of the structure.
The building has been partially renovated and still features all the typical characteristics of medieval monasteries (including original terracotta floors, wooden beams, coffered ceilings, stone fireplaces, etc.). The finishes have been carefully preserved and original materials have been used for the renovation, where necessary. The large halls are covered by splendid coffered ceilings, while the floors are made of terracotta tiles, also original.
The rooms to be renovated have been left in their original state, therefore the finishes are all still present and only need to be cleaned and recovered to bring the building back to its ancient splendor.
The access to the monastery is characterized by a beautiful vaulted entrance portal on whose intrados the coat of arms of the Minor Conventuals is clearly visible. Continuing on, you find yourself in the suggestive portico of the cloister and crossing a whole series of rooms you finally arrive on the panoramic terrace on the opposite side of the building.
EXTERIOR
The building has a splendid internal cloister, today decorated with a splendid Italian garden (150 m2) and surrounded by a walkway covered by cross vaults. Under the cloister there is an original rainwater cistern, recently renovated.
On the outside, on both sides, the convent has two other panoramic gardens. The first and larger of the two (1,300 m2) is located on the left side of the complex and has the shape of an Italian garden, well-kept and crossed by paved paths. A small annex (15 m2) is currently used as a warehouse.
The second (300 m2), reachable through a very particular corridor located above the entrance door of the medieval village, is smaller in size and is covered by a shaded lawn.
