Can we interest you in a gorgeous 6 bedroom property in between the mountains and the sea for your Italian adventure?

Our fully equipped villa is located around 35 minutes from both Pescara airport and the sea. It has 6 bedrooms with aircon and sleeps 12. We also have sofa beds and camp beds in addition.

The villa boasts 3 generous living areas, large bedrooms, 2 fully equipped kitchens, as well as 4 bathrooms, around 30 olive trees, off road parking and spectacular views, as well as the private pool to cool off in during the summer heat. The garden also has pomegranate trees, fig trees and apple trees.

The heated pool (extra charge, heating available May to September), south facing, is 12m by 5m and gently shelves down from the shallow end, which is great for kids and infants. There is all the poolside equipment you might want – chairs, tables, sun loungers, umbrellas and a pool room with space to change and hang up your clothes as well as a very large walk in shower, toilet and basin.

All 3 lounges have ample seating, plus in addition there are 2 TVs,. There is also a DVD player plus a radio/CD player and lots of books.

There are two dining tables, the smaller seats 8 comfortably and downstairs, the kitchen table extends to 3m and seats 10. Outside, you can seat 16 at two outside tables under a shady pergola.

The kitchens are fully equipped with gas hob, oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, expresso maker, toaster, etc. and plenty of other items, so you should need for nothing.

There are many minimarkets in the various villages en route, or there is a large supermarket with just about everything you could want on the outskirts of Penne, just over 10 minutes away. A bakery selling fresh bread is just a few minutes away.

Five of the six air conditioned bedrooms are ‘matrimoniale’ size beds – in English sizes that is larger than a king, but smaller than a super king. One bedroom has two single beds. Each bedroom has shutters and a wardrobe, bedside tables and lights and most have chest of drawers, chairs, mirrors and an ottoman.

One of the bathrooms has a bath with shower, whilst the other two have large showers. The pool changing area and shower room has both a toilet and massive walk in shower.

Other features of the villa include fast wireless internet, a colour printer, a digital safe, security camera (recording) on the front door and drive, hairdryers in each bedroom, and an iron with ironing board.

Abruzzo is not spoiled at all, being a secret little gem known by the Italians, but lesser known by other nationalities. Abruzzo is known as “the greenest region in Europe” as almost half of its territory, the largest in Europe, is set aside as national parks and protected nature reserves. There are three national parks, one regional park, and 38 protected nature reserves. Abruzzo is also home to Calderone, Europe’s southernmost glacier. Civitella Casanova is accredited with being the origin of Arrosticini, lamb skewers.

Look to the east, and you can see the shoreline towns around Pescara – from the balconies upstairs you can see the sea, as well as lots of hilltop villages. Look to the west, and the Apennine mountains rise up majestically, covered in snow in the winter. Our villa is at 500m/1,500 feet above sea level, so enjoys some refreshing breezes to take the edge off the stifling summer heat and humidity.

Flights are easy from Stansted to Abruzzo International Airport, which is around 35 minutes away by car. Alternatively it is just as easy to fly into Rome, as most of the drive from Rome Ciampino Airport is by dual carriageway or motorway, snaking through the mountains. Rome can even be a day trip.

There are plenty of recommended local restaurants very near by, as well as historic hilltop towns to explore to help make your stay truly magical.

The villa has full central heating, so it is available to rent all year round.

A range of leaflets on local attractions are available at the villa. There is a comprehensive folder of information on the property which is stored in the property but will also be sent to guests, together with detailed directions how to find the property, before you arrive. In addition, we have a local neighbour who is more than happy to help with anything you may need.

No pets, no electric car charging (though we are investigating how that can work in conjunction with our solar panels) and no smoking inside the villa.
