About this property

Medieval Townhouse in the heart of Pacentro

Lying in the Majella National Park of the Apennines Mountains, Il Fascino di Pacentro (The Charm of Pacentro) is a 700 year old 2 bedroomed medieval terraced home situated in the historic mountainous village of Pacentro, Abruzzo, Italy.

Just 2 hours from Rome and 1 hour from Pescara Airport, Pacentro is ideally situated for exploring this rich and diverse region. With mountain walks on the doorstep, the Adriatic beaches just 1 hour away and many historical towns and villages to explore our holiday home makes this the ideal place to be!

Voted as “Uno dei Borghi piú belli d’Italia”, “One of the most beautiful villages in Italy”, the village of Pacentro is a community of medieval passageways and piazza’s.

This lovely 2 bedroom home near the castle in the village is in walking distance of the village shops, restaurants and bars. Everything you need to cook a gorgeous meal or enjoy a bbq outside is available for your use. The galley kitchen is equipped with all you need including a Lavazza Espresso coffee pod machine.

The entrance living and dining room is comfortable and cool and leads to the galley kitchen. This is a lovely and cosy room with a large fireplace. The main bedroom on the first floor has a king size bed with a chest of drawers and hanging rail. Doors open fully and have fly screens to a small balcony (not large enough to sit on). The bathroom with shower, toilet and washing machine is modern and on the opposite landing to the main bedroom. Up to the last level is the 2nd bedroom with twin beds and two small windows with views over the village and castle wall. The main living room boasts views of the castle wall and from the balcony towards the mountains. There is a comfortable sofa and is our favourite place to play games, read and relax with a pre-dinner drink. All windows in the house have fly screens.

Please note we require a minimum of 3 night stay.

Vacanza nel medioevo
La casa è affascinante, sembra di vivere in un castello, le descrizioni del sito sono corrispondenti, rapporto qualità/ prezzo buono, unica nota dolente sono i cagnolini del vicino di casa che a volte possono interrompere la magica tranquillità del posto con il loro abbaiare. Pacentro è un Borgo bellissimo, e i paesani sono molto cordiali e socievoli. È la seconda volta che ci fermiamo in questo paese e non sarà l'ultima.

Perfect spot
This little house in Pacentro was exactly what we needed for our short stay. Trish was very communicative, and Maria was friendly and reliable. It was VERY clean. We didn't spend much time in the house as we were in town for a family event, but it was the perfect spot to wind down the day. We would recommend Trish's place to anyone traveling through.

About the host

Hosted by Trish Ellse

Host profile image
We are a family who love all things Italy. The people, the food and the mountains! We live and work in Britain and this house was the first we saw and the first home we ever owned. We love the village and want others to see and experience a bit of the true Italy! The region is beautiful with beaches not too far, skiing nearby, lots of activities, shopping and nature. Abruzzo is breathtaking with lots to do.

Why they chose this property

Great location, unique and comfortable. Great food all just a 5 minute walk away including one of Italy's best Slow Food restaurants Caldora.

What makes this property unique

Being in a house over 500 years old in the heart of the medieval part of the village. The village is known as the ancestral village of Madonna the popstar and some American politicians!
