Description:
Lovely, bright and airy farmhouse in the middle of farmland, with private pool and garden. Relax!
Vacation Rental Description
Typical, stone built farmhouse, in a traditional small farming community. The garden is a hectare of grassland and trees (mostly figs, peaches, cherries and apricots), with pool and seating areas. The views are lovely - a rolling landscape of green valleys, 'calanchi' (the distinctive local geological formation) and hilltop villages. There is plenty of space here to tuck yourself away on a seat or in the hammock to enjoy some relaxation. The level garden around the house is mostly laid to grass, sheltered by trees and has lovely views of the countryside and farmland. There is a mini terrace, with seat, on the staircase to the apartment, which is a fantastic place to have your morning coffee in the sun. There are several outside tables and chairs, plus other areas around the garden and pool where you can sit and enjoy the views and tranquility of the location. The property is not enclosed so you are free to wander! The oval pool is 3.5 metres by 6.5 metres and uses a salt chlorination system that gives the water a beautiful silky feeling, and is less irritating to eyes and skin. It is 1.5 metres deep. It's got a great view and is tucked in beside some old stone buildings that formed the original house. More seating is available hereon the deck for lounging and alfresco dining, with rustic barbecue. The first floor apartment is available to rent in June and September, and comprises 2 bedrooms: one with superking bed and one with twin beds and a small balcony. The living area has comfortable seating, open fireplace and dining table with chairs, plus storage cupboards and fridge/freezer. We have a small TV with satellite reception and DVD/video player, plus plenty of films to watch. There is a portable CD player/radio and a selection of books, including guidebooks, plus traditional board games. There is a separate, compact kitchen area with stone sink and gas hob. We have provided everything we think you'll need for your holiday, with plenty of utensils and tableware. The bathroom is a tiled 'wet room' with shower and toilet. We provide good quality bed-linen, towels and dishcloths, etc. A laundry service is available at no extra charge.
In July and August the whole house is available to rent, giving you spacious accommodation on 2 floors for up to 7 people. The ground floor has tiled floors and exposed stone walls. It consists of a double bedroom, shower room with toilet and handbasin, utility area with washing machine, and a large open plan lounge/diner with kitchen, which opens onto a vine-covered eating terrace.
Abruzzo is known as the 'wild heart' of Italy and it's home to three national parks. Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga is our nearest - a 42km drive will take you up to Campo Imperatore (1500m), a vast plateau ringed by mountain peaks which include the highest in the mainland Apennines (Corno Grande 2912m), and Europe's southernmost glacier. It's a fantastic place for walking, climbing and exploring some of the traditional mediaeval villages, ancient castles, Roman remains and fortified towns. The region also has over 130 km of clean, mostly sandy beaches all along the Adriatic coastline, offering a wide range of facilities to suit your preference or mood - from lively resorts popular with the Italians, where you can hire sunbeds and umbrellas, to secluded beaches, fishing ports and nature reserves. Our nearest beaches are at Montesilvano, Silvi and Pineto.
Ryanair flies from London Stansted and Frankfurt Hahn to Pescara (26 miles away). Roma Ciampino offers extensive flights from all over the UK and Europe via carriers such as Ryanair, Easyjet, Jet2 and British Airways. Roma is only a two and a half hour drive. We recommend hiring a car if you fly here, as there is limited public transport available locally. We are a days drive from the channel ports of Dunkerque and Calais.

The apartment has been superb - fantastic outlook over the surrounding countryside so we got to see some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The setting really touches the heart. Special thanks to Jane and Sue for all their kindness and careful preparation. (Millband, Swansea).

Good things: warm welcome, view from the bedroom window, sitting outside in the early morning, superbly well-equipped apartment, the shower, the garden, the walk up the lane, the hill-top villages, the fireflies, the nightingales, the flowers in the mountains (Campo Imperatore), the walk, the sea, the meal at the restaurant near Bisenti, the coffee in the cafes, the warmth of the sun, the markets. (Ledbury, Wales).

Owners Profile
Escape to Abruzzo
We both knew we wanted somewhere with lots of privacy and peace. This house was perfect - tucked well away in the countryside and rooms with a lovely sunny aspect - so we felt immediately sure about buying it. When we wake up to the quiet, and see the beauty of the changing seasons in the flowers and wildlife, we are constantly enchanted. We have been met with nothing but kindness by our neighbours, and are continually warmed by the friendliness of the locals. Here there's still a sense of the rural tradition; people farm their land on a small scale, grow their own vegetables, keep some animals and follow the old agricultural lore. Does that sound too idyllic? Well, of course the modern Italy is here too, with the convenience of airports, beaches and great shopping too if you want it.
The house is in a beautiful position and it's truly tranquil. You arrive at the house down a private track, just off a tarmac road that only continues on to our neighbour's house. In fact, if you walk up the hill from here you'll find yourself right out into fields with superb views of the mountains. So you have all this sense of peace and privacy yet everything you need on a day to day basis is only a short drive away. Every season has it's highlights, whether it's poppies and wild flowers in the spring, or sunflowers in July, or all the festivals in August, there's always something going on around you. We particularly love the fact that the mountains are so close, with all their sense of wilderness, and that this region is so rich in natural beauty.
