The villa provided all we needed, a perfectly maintained place. Dr Carlucci was very helpful if we needed anything. We will come back some day.

Property is very large and a typical rustic environment for Italy. Great swimming pool and beautiful views. All the amenities you could ask for in a villa.

Wir haben eine herrliche Zeit in der Villa Carlucci verbracht, die sich am Ortsrand in ruhiger Alleinlage befindet. Der große Garten mit gepflegtem Pool und vielfältigen Sitzgelegenheiten laden zum Verweilen, sportlichen Aktivitäten und zum Frühstücken bzw. Abendessen im Freien ein. Auch das Wetter zeigte sich von seiner besten Seite, so dass wir noch Ende September/Anfang Oktober im Pool baden konnten. Im nahe gelegenen Guardiagrele haben wir kulinarische Köstlichkeiten für unsere Menüs einschließlich frischer Pasta erhalten. Wander- oder Fahrradtouren vor Ort sowie Tagestouren in die Orte und herrlichen Landschaften des Majella-Nationalsparks bieten unbegrenzte Möglichkeiten. Wir haben vieles gesehen und erkundet: Die Berge und hügeligen Landschaften, die der Toscana ähneln, das Meer entlang der Trabocco-Küste bis hin zur Halbinsel Gargano. Antonio ist ein äußerst freundlicher und zuvorkommender Vermieter, die Korrespondenz war von Anfang an absolut unkompliziert. Es war uns eine große Freude, Antonio und Rita persönlich kennenzulernen. Ihre Gastfreundschaft war umwerfend und sehr beeindruckend. Die Abruzzen und Villa Carlucci sind absolut empfehlenswert, wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Ute und Günter

Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in diesem Haus. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Das Haus war gut ausgestattet und vor allem der Garten war super und vor allem schön groß und gepflegt. Die Umgebung war die Reise auf jeden Fall wert. Auch der Kontakt mit dem Besitzer war freundlich und unkompliziert. Jederzeit wieder!

Our group (3 families - 13 people) had fantastic holiday in Villa Carlucci. We spent there 2 weeks. The house and the backyard is very large and well equipped and very well-maintained. There is enough bedrooms, tables, chairs, sunbeds, etc. for such a large group. The house is located outside the village which is great as the guests do not disturb any neighbours, but also not too far, so you can walk to do some shopping in the morning (there is a small sumermarket in the village where you can buy basic products). Our hosts, Vincenzo and Antonio, were very hospitable and friendly, they reacted immediately if we needed anything. Abruzzo is beautiful region (mountains, seaside, old charming towns and villages, excellent food and nice people) - that was out first vist but definitely not last. We can recommend visiting Abruzzo and villa Carlucci to everyone. One thing which should be taken into considerationby the owners - July 2015 was extremely hot. The house gives some coolness but not enough. They should think about providing some electric airconditioners or something similar.

Abbiamo passato Capodanno in questa splendida villa in 13 aduli e 3 bimbi e siamo stati benissimo le stanze tutte confortevoli ordine e pulite , così come i bagni e il resto della casa . Il proprietario si è mostrato dall inizio cordiale e disponibile . È una villa immersa in questo magnifico grande giardino che d 'estate deve essere uno spettacolo , immersa nel silenzio e l ideale con un gruppo di amici e per gli amici a 4 zampe con soli 25 min stavamo a Monte Giove .Guardiagrele è vicinissima e si si vuole mangiare lì vicino da seguire i consigli del Signor Carlucci : a noi ci ha consigliato veramente bene La cucina è super attrezzata per tutto e buona e anche la Linea wi fi Un esperienza bellissima da ripetere ;)

Excellent accommodation, we had both floors for a week. Lovely high ceilings kept villa cool.Dining table outside for lunches, umbrellas for shade, Good pool, bbq, 5 bikes. A small welcome pack was a nice surprise.( milk, bread, cold meats etc).Everything needed was already there. Village has restaurants, small supermarket and a bar all within 5 or so minutes walk. Bigger supermarket about 5 min drive in Guardiagrele. Restaurants are great value. Gatto e Volpe Pizza type restaurant with drinks 10 euros a head. La Vineria di Salnitro - 6 or 7 courses with wine at 30 euros a head , but worth every euro. Have the risotto. Can only recommend. We will return soon.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à la Villa Carlucci. Le cadre est magnifique et la villa très bien entretenue. Tout y est pour nous faire passer un agréable séjour. Le propriétaire de la villa sera vous conseiller et vous guider dans vos demandes. Grâce à ses démarches mon mari à trouver sa carte de pêche dès son arrivée ! Il est très à l'écoute de ses occupants, tout en respectant notre intimité. La villa est sécurisée pour les enfants et les chambres très spacieuses. Et la literie est très bonne. Un grand merci pour notre séjour.

We stayed in Villa Carlucci three families of friends with the kids and we enjoyed the pleasure of quietness. We found the villa very well furnished and responsive to our expectations. Good weather allowed us to enjoy a wonderful week. The baths in the pool, always cured by the caretaker Carlo, and the pleasant evenings at the barbecue, will remain in our minds. Really recommendable!

Absolutely amazing! we stayed here with my all family 11 adults, 2 teenagers and 5 children, we had a fantastic time. The house is massive, so we didn't feel on top of one another. We found everything we needed in the house, including hairdryers! Everything was clean and well kept, the pool was to die for. We still went to the beach everyday (only 25 mins drive). A car is ideal to drive to the shops, but not necessary if you like to walk. Finally what was also great for us, was the fact that we were quite isolated, as we played silly games, bingo, karaoke etc and lots of shouting and laughing was going on, it was good not have neighbors. We will definitely return and recommend to anyone who wants to have a fantastic holiday!

Me and my husband have spent a week there with friends. Villa Carlucci welcomed ud with its large rooms, kitchen well equipped, BBQ in the garden and the best thing... swimming pool where we've had wonderful time!!! Landscape surrounding villa Carlucci is also great, we've made wonderful walks, i think that it's a good starting point to discover this part of Abruzzo. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to everyone!!! It's a place to return...Thanks to Vincenzo e Antonio (owners) that helped us to make our holiday great!!!

La nostra settimana a Villa Carlucci è stata senza dubbio un’esperienza da ripetere. La casa è comoda e spaziosa e soprattutto ha una piscina davvero meravigliosa che a settembre ci ha regalato gli ultimi bagni della stagione. Immersa nel verde e dotata di ogni comfort (lavatrice, tv, barbecue, microonde, sdraio, lettini, ecc.) questa splendida sistemazione ci ha permesso di vivere una settimana all’insegna della natura e del relax. Abbiamo raccolto le castagne (nella proprietà ci sono due castagni secolari fantastici) e ci siamo goduti i colori dell’autunno….a bordo piscina! Inoltre, i padroni di casa (Antonio e Enzo) sono stati gentilissimi ed è stato davvero un piacere conoscerli. Torneremo! Flavia e Bruno

I have been there for a long week end with my friends, The villa is easy to find also if its on the country side, it's big and confortable enought for 16 peoples. On one side of The villa there are many trees like forest and the pool is just in The right position. The place is peacefull so its good for relax with family or make party with friends. The landscape, The region of Abruzzo are wonderfull specially when you're driving a car. The owner and his family are friendly and available for everythings. So you have everythings for enjoy your stay in villa Carlucci.

The house was great and we liked the fire in the evening too. It was well equipped and we were fortunate enough to have good weather and could use the pool. One thing I would suggest is a DVD player as we would have liked to have watched films in the evening. Great restaurants near by include: La Vineria di Salnitro, Villa Maiella and Castello di Semivicoli. We are looking forward to returning.

Villa Carlucci does have the potential to be an excellent holiday villa , however , the listing description is not altogether accurate . As there were eleven in our group , ten adults and a baby , we availed of the ground floor and first floor .This villa really only suits one group as there is no separate entrance to the first floor , the two entrances are on the ground floor . While there is a large rustic kitchen on the ground floor it actually translates into a small poky cooking area .The kitchen on the first floor is better .The bed linen was not changed even though we were there for two weeks . Granted , we did wash the linen ourselves because the linen room was locked ! The daily maid service did not materalise . The microwave was not supplied .The roof of the villa was advertised as a spacious terrace equipped as solarium for the use of guests - not so - the door leading up to it was locked . It lmight have been dangerous anyway but it is misleading advertising .I regret to say that the swimming pool was a disgrace . It was actually a horrible shade of green . Imagine our disgust in discovering that the pool surround was supposed to be white .We arrived on a Saturday and the following Tuesday - 3 days into our fortnight's holiday , we were informed that the pool needed to be drained . Having been told that it takes six hours to drain it and four days to refill it we were not impressed .I explained that the swimming pool was a huge factor in us booking the villa and that it should have been emptied , cleaned and refilled before we arrived . What really annoyed us was being told that it was checked on Saturday before we arrived and that it was okay .That amount of green scum took some time to accumulate and does not grow overnight .However we had to persevere with the green pool as the nearest beach at 20 kilometres was not an option . Apart from the pool the rest of the property was excellently maintained . The owner did provide a good enough service .I would recommend this villa to others because we enjoyed it to a certain degree.The holiday was good but it could have been brilliant if the pool was clean and everything listed was accurate and supplied .
