Secluded Farmhouse with Magnificent Views
Peaceful location close to Penne, in an ideal location to explore the Mountains and the Beach
Sleeps 4 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
Casa Pluviano is a converted farmhouse which nestles halfway down a valley in a secluded position with superb views of Lake Penne and the mountain of La Maiella. To the left stands the historic town of Penne which sits atop 4 hills. The first floor has been completely renovated with central heating and full kitchen and bathroom facilities. There are two patios one of which is accessed directly from the kitchen, the other is at the entrance to the house. The farmhouse sits at the end of a private drive set in 3 acres of land in which stand over 100 olive trees. The house is ideal for couples looking for a quiet and restful break who want to explore this beautiful and unspoilt region. Despite the secluded position the house is not isolated, the town of Penne is only a 5 minute drive away with the Gran Sasso National Park less than 15 minutes away and the beech and airport 40 minutes away.

Owner profile
About the owner
We are a couple who live in England but fell in love with Abruzzo over 7 years ago. We holiday at the house whenever we can and still find a lot of new places to explore. To us the area has everything that we could want, the beach, the mountains, and as a keen cyclist I have the challenge of the Gran Sasso right on the doorstep!
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We chose this house because of the views and the tranquility. We live in the city in the UK but wanted somewhere peaceful to escape to, this house was perfect for that. Despite the tranquility it is still accessible to the local town and the airport so living in the area is never a chore.
Unique benefits of the property
Feeling away from it all but not isolated. As a base to explore the region it is perfect and our holidays are as active or restful as we want to make them.
