Casa Mimosa is an exceptionally well presented, newly renovated Maiella stone villa in the heart of Abruzzo with stunning views of Gran Sasso, nestling in beautiful rural countryside, standing proudly above its own olive grove. This old farmhouse, steeped in history, (available to read in the house), has been renovated to a very high standard with solar panels, outdoor solar shower, ceiling fans, air con, central heating, Sky TV and DVD in both sittingrooms - in fact - every mod con! The 45 ft kitchen - with American fridge/freezer, 6 ring gas cooker, dishwasher and microwave, which was the original cowshed, has been painstakingly renovated to create a fabulous living space with an inviting woodburner at one end. Fully equipped laundry room. Snug sittingroom with woodburner and Sky for those crisp winter days. The impressive 13.5m pool with diving board and large pool house just have to be seen!

Guest comments
Wow! Pimms, pool and complete tranquility - what more could we ask for? This is perfect. Bridget, Southampton.
We woke up every morning and gasped at the view! Talk about a loo with a view! we had everything we could possibly ask for and more - didn't do enough of the local area because we couldn't get the kids out of the pool. Brian, Southsea
The National parks in Abruzzo are stunning - and we'd never heard of them. Definitely coming back - so much left to explore and do. Fantastic house - so much space. Thank you.
Theresa and George, Falmouth
