Animals are part of the community of the village, especially cats, which are free to go around in the neighbourhood. It is not rare to see them lying in the sun or hunting lizards in front of the house. Bear this in mind if you have allergies, do not live in the house but are used to be welcome and fed by the neighbours. Sometimes they squeeze in uninvited....

Amazing home in a wonderful, peaceful environment
We stayed one week in this beautifully restored ancient home. Everything was perfect and cozy, including the fireplace !From the village of Arielli we could plan amazing day trips to the most astonishing beauties of this incredible region : Campo Imperatore on the Gran Sasso , Costa dei Trabocchi on the coast, Guardiagrele and the Majella villages, Rocca Calascio and Roccascalegna, both breathtaking locations of famous movies . We had a chance to visit local winery Tenuta Ulisse at the beautiful village of Crecchio, only a few minutes from home. Not to mention the small town of Ortona, 10 minutes from home, with its great ancient center and the Aragon castle overlooking the sea. In Ortona lie also the relics of San Tommaso, one of the Apostles, and is the head of the San Tommaso historic pilgrim path. Lanciano is also a great place to visit , with its medieval heart and an intriguing history of the oldest and most famous miracle of the Catholic Church , the Miracolo Eucaristico. Food and wine , nature and history, peace and authenticity , great people with a unique sense of hospitality : al this make Abruzzo absolutely worth visiting. And this house couldn’t fit better to a perfect stay !

Peaceful and rustic home
The Villa Franchi Bavardi is exactly as its pictured! Very comfortable living spaces, and the view from the terrace is outstanding. Valeria’s directions easily allowed us to find the house within the ‘old’ section of Arielli. We were able to find groceries and a restaurant within a 10 minute walk, and other restaurants in surrounding towns (you must go to the Taverna Ducale in Crecchio!) were close by. Arielli is about 20 minutes from the autostrada with easy access to San Vito, Ortona, Lanciano, Pescara and more. Valeria was wonderful to deal with and answered any questions and concerns quickly and satisfactorily. We would recommend Villa Franchi Bavardi to our friends.

Spitze!
Ruhiges Dörfchen in Traumlage. Italien pur. Toller Metzger um die Ecke und ein gut versorgter Supermarket. Auf der Terrasse kann man sich herrlich entspannen. Im Haus gab's Alles was man nur brauchen könnte , naja vielleicht ausser Messer Sauber , gepflegt und still. Hab ich schon die Aussichten erwähnt? HAMMER! Wir freuen uns ungemein , dass wir keine All-in- Typen sind. Kontakt zum Vermieter sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Standort ist ideale Basis für verschiedenste Ausflüge, auch nach Rom waren es ca.250 km mit guten Anbindung. Ein hat uns aber eins gefehlt... noch eine Woche Urlaub Ciao!

Ein schönes Haus mit tollem Blick
Wir haben mit 3 Familien im August hier Quartier genommen, es ist ein sehr schönes Appartement am Ende der Gemeinde Arielli. Es ist ruhig gelegen, mit einer wunderschönen Terrasse, die einen Blick auf den Höhenzug des Nationalparks Majella als auch auf das Meer erlaubt. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet, die Küche lässt keine Wünsche offen. Die Ausstattung entspricht der Beschreibung und den Fotos in der Anzeige. Mit dem Auto (unbedingt notwendig!) ist man schnell in Ortona am Strand, in die andere Richtung sind die Berge schnell erreicht. Das Haus steht im alten Teil von Arielli, es herrscht eine ruhige, friedlichen Stimmung. In zwei Minuten ist fußläufig der zentrale Platz erreicht, an dem die Kirche steht und sich die Gemeinschaft trifft. Dort lädt auch eine Bar mit sehr netten Betreibern zum Verweilen ein ! Am Ortseingang befinden sich zwei Pizzerien, es gibt einen kleinen Supermarkt, ein Post. Arielli ist in einer landwirtschaftlich geprägten Gegend gelegen, in der in der Hauptsache Wein und Oliven angebaut werden. In den zahlreichen Kooperativen kann gutes Olivenöl für eine attraktiven Preis erworben werden. Da man sich hier auf dem Land befindet, sollte man auf das Vorhandensein von Insekten (Mücken u. ä.) vorbereitet sein. Wir waren Mitte August zu Gast, in dieser Zeit veranstalten die umliegenden Städte und Dörfer (Arielli eingeschlossen) abwechselnd Feste zu kirchlichen und weltlichen Anlässen, so dass man jeden Abend sich in einem anderen Ort treiben lassen und zum Schluss das obligatorische Feuerwerk bewundern kann. Die Kommunikation mit Valeria Franchi war einwandfrei, unsere Fragen wurden vorab umfänglich beantwortet. Vor Ort wurde die Betreuung durch eine Bekannte sichergestellt. Die Abwicklung der Vermietung lief reibungslos. Ein sehr netter Ort, ein schönes Haus, Abwechslungen in der Nähe zahlreich vorhanden, aber man muss sich auch immer ins Auto setzen. Kenntnisse der Landessprache sind von Vorteil, aber keine Bedingung, alle waren immer sehr hilfsbereit! Fazit: jederzeit wieder!!

About the host

Hosted by Valeria Franchi

Host profile image
Valeria was born in Milan and has an important experience of 25 years in fashion business and public relationships. Using the knowledge of languages and her strong and creative personality, she follows an interesting path in the new lines of fashion-business, during the 90’s. She works for Costume National, Prada, Dries Van Noten, Paul Smith, both in sales department and with press office, and organization of fashion-shows. She understands that the beauty comes from proportions, balances, shadings and respect for the nature of every place, material and colour. She uses these precious skill in decorting , renovatng and creating the atmosphere of the venues she manages. With the experience and the practical sense of his husband Daniele, she projects cosy and unique places, starting with the little Bar Davi in Monterosso (Cinque Terre)and reaching the top with the magic and fascinating world of Palazzo Franchi Bardavi. A half of her blood is from Arielli and so the call of good ancient things brings her from the luxury of Paris runways to the suburb of “Cinque terre”, finding her next destination in the land of her forefathers. She still work as consuktant in fashion.
Daniele was born in Milan and enters in the successful teams of private radios of Milan when he is very young. Smart and brilliant, he works for famous clubs and in fashion business.
But the city is not enough for him…his ligurian soul brings him to the beautiful sea of Monterosso, Cinque Terre, at the age of 27. Here, he opens several clubs with great success and, while Monterosso is becoming a touristic destination, he renews himself and his style in every club he opens: La Fontana, Al Casello, obtained from a signalman’s house by the sea. This will be his best “creation”, the one wich gives him fame and success and wich he runs for 12 years. Bar Davi,named by Rick Steves best aperitifs and breakfasts. Bar Davi will be quoted in the most important foreign touristic guides.The Family now live in Spain

Why they chose this property

First of all for the link with Valeria's family roots,but especially because Valeria and Daniele after their strong experience with international tourism do believe that Abruzzo has so much to offer and is really unique in the Italian Panorama. Arielli then has a strategical position: You can refresh in the Mountains in the morning and easily dive into the Sea in the afternoon, while enjoying a countryside atmosphere during your stay in the Villa without ever feeling isolated. Moreover, the historical value of the building and the stunning views give the property a priceless and remarkable value. Italy is not only Tuscany. Abruzzo can provide excellent food, oil, wine, history, hicking and swimming with the twist of exploring an area which is still genuine and fool of real italian tradition.
