Owner profile
Marek & Annie Lorys
About the owner
Marek and I live on the south coast of England, close to Brighton along with our ginger 16 year old Manx cat called Charlie. Marek is a freelance translator. He can work anywhere in the world provided he has a computer and an internet connection, so this allows us to spend longish periods (about a third of the year) in Abruzzo. We have been letting our holiday home in Abruzzo for 5 years and we have been delighted with the feedback that we receive from our guests. Many of our guests come back year after year so we have made lots of new friends which is lovely. We love Abruzzo and feel very at home there and very much enjoy sharing this experience with our guests.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose a home in this location
On a beautiful sunny day in May 2004, we stumbled across this house while looking for a holiday home in Abruzzo. From the moment we walked through the house and stepped out on to the terraces we were smitten by the views of the snowcapped Maiella and Gran Sasso mountains in one direction, and then when we turned round - the Adriatic sea in the other. We also loved the house which had been built as 3 apartments and our first thought was what a wonderful location it would be for holidaymakers. We wanted to be close to an international airport (Pescara) - it is just a 40 minute drive away - and we wanted to be located close to reasonable roads (no dirt tracks to negotiate!) but able to be in a tranquil environment, amongst nature.
Unique benefits of the property
We love the beautiful views, the peace and quiet, the 'ruralness' of this location. We love the fact that we can be up in the mountains in 30-40 minutes but can also be on the beach in the same amount of time! We also enjoy the different activities - we can go walking/hiking in the snow in the mountains in May/June in the morning but can be sunbathing on the beaches on the same afternoon. We also love the traditional Abruzzese food - the restaurants are great - really good quality food at reasonable prices. And we mustn't forget to mention the people - the Abruzzese people have made us so welcome - they treat us as family.
