|
The house is surrounded with olive trees and right next to a vineyard. Civitella Casanova is 3 mins away with bars, restaurants, super market and other shopping. Within 10km there are many local restaurants which have excellent food at a reasonable price. West from the house are the mountains in the Gran Sasso National Park which go up to 9000ft and provide extensive walking, touring and picnicking opportunities. Going east is Pescara with extensive sandy beaches stretching along the coast. The area has many Roman and medieval ruins and villages to explore. The true delight is in fact the house, its surroundings and the view. The house has a great ambience and is very comfortable. The surroundings are verdant and tranquil in a timeless way. The view to the south is the massive grandeur of the Maielle Mountains while to the north there are other entrancing spectacles.

Why the owner chose a home in this location
This villa was built to be sold. However, given the current economy and the euro exchange rate we went to plan B which is to fully furnish it, landscape it and wait out the current malaise. The property has magnificent views and is in a valley that is incredibly quite and beautiful. The villa was built to appeal to persons who like the old - all the materials are traditional..wood beams. terra cotta floors, stone walls etc. but the living space is totally modern, large bedrooms with bath, a very large living/dining area and a totally modern kitchen. The swimming pool is adjacent to the patio at the back of the house and is totally landscaped.
Unique benefits of the property

The beaches are 40 mins. away.
