Owner profile
About the owner
We are a family with two teenage boys and love using our house in Abruzzo and offer our property because we would like you to also experience this wonderful part of Italy.
We have enjoyed holidaying all over the world and know what most people expect when it comes to comfort and style in their holiday expectations.
Our home in Italy reflects good taste and an understanding of people's requirements.
We are always open to any suggestions to improve our home but think you will find it a pleasure to stay in a 'home from home'.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We bought our property near Lake Penne because it provides us with stunning views, a wonderful Wildlife Trust Centre based by the lake, fabulous local beaches and the chance to ski in winter.
The house is in a peaceful, rural location away from the hustle of bustle of a large town but 10 minutes away in Penne you can get excellent restaurants and fun atmosphere if listening to the birds all day gets boring!
Unique benefits of the property
Our house is a delightful sanctuary to escape to and enjoy a well earned holiday
