Ein sehr schönes großes Haus in ursprünglicher und einfacher ländlicher Lage in den Abruzzen. Vom Garten aus blickt man auf die sanften Hügel in der nahen Umgebung und in der Ferne auf den Gran Sasso sowie das Maiella Massiv. Die 4 großen Schlafzimmer und der Wohnbereich sind klimatisiert. Der Pool könnte allerdings etwas größer sein. Eine Außendusche wäre auch ganz nett. Wie vielleicht auch noch ein bis zwei weitere Sonnenschirme. Liegen und Stühle sind ausreichend vorhanden. Die Küche ist komplett ausgestattet, auch für mehr als 11 Personen, sogar mit zwei Kühlschränken. Auch in den 3 großen Bädern ist alles Nötige vorhanden. Wenn man darauf achtet, dass der Insektenschutz immer geschlossen ist, hält man auch fast alles Getier draußen. Zum Haus geht es von der Ebene in ca. 10 min und 300 Höhenmetern eine gewundene Straße hinauf. Zu den nächstgelegenen Ortschaften und Geschäften muss man diese leider auch immer wieder hinunter. Der Verwalter Sergio wohnt mit seiner Frau und seinen Eltern im Haus oberhalb des LCR. Sie waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit und hatten immer Zeit für ein Schwätzchen. Italienisch sprechen zu können, ist aber schon von Vorteil. Ein wenig getrübt wurde der überwiegend positive Gesamteindruck leider durch vermehrt auftretendes Hundegebell in der Nacht aus Nah (Sergio selber hat 3 Hunde) und vor Allem aus der Ferne. Sowie auch durch das ganztägige Krähen der Hähne. Es gibt hier so einiges an Federvieh wie Hühner, Puten und auch Truthähne. Wen aber die Fahrerei und die typischen Geräusche auf dem italienischen Land nicht stört, der ist im LCR sehr gut aufgehoben. Die Landschaft ist sehr schön, die Menschen sehr nett und hilfsbereit und die Weine sehr lecker. Die Kommunikation mit Tom, dem Vermieter des LCR, klappte reibungslos (auf Englisch). Er war immer zu erreichen und hilfsbereit. Bei Fragen vor der Buchung / Anreise wie auch während unseres Aufenthalts. Ein sehr netter Kontakt.

Hyggelige folk, vakker natur og gode bademuligheter.

Remote, fantastic scenery, great time had by all. Local restaurants friendly and the food, amazing. Tom was attentive to our questions and the farmhouse exactly as described. Would recommend to anyone looking for something different and unique.

Alt fungerede perfekt

We arrived to this beautiful home perfectly positioned in the rolling hillside about 30 minutes drive from Pescara. House well set up for our group of 4, with beds made and fresh towels and toiletries available. The home has wifi and a perfectly laid out country kitchen with all the modern appliances needed to cook at home. Great outdoor sitting dining area. Air conditioning ensured a pleasant sleep at night. Weather was perfect during our stay and we enjoyed use of the pristine swimming pool situated in front garden with 360 degree views of the local landscape. House presented as per description, well maintained and spotlessly clean on our arrival. We undertook daily trips to Neighbouring villages and a day basking on the beach in Pescara but a couple the highlights for us was Penna the medieval town and the abondoned medieval village of San Sebastian. What finds! Views were breathtaking everywhere we went. Food was excellent. Our inability to converse in Italian was not a handicap locals were very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend this beautiful home as a base to visit this magnificent pocket of Italy. We will return and can only highly recommend the home to others who wish to get away from the busy, noisy and hectic pace of city life.

The description of the property was accurate . The house is set in a stunning location, with amazing vistas. I woke to views of snow capped mountains bathed in sunshine . After a perfect start to the day a short drive to the village provided the opportunity to indulge and have freshly baked croissants, cappuccino and converse with the friendly " locals ". The house was spacious and the layout perfect for the six of us . The fire in the kitchen took the evening chill off the air and we spent several evenings , chilling playing board games and drinking the excellent local vino . After a hard days treking / cycling it was perfect to relax and hang out in . The property was well maintained by Sergio and Annemarie , ( the local farmer and his wife ) who are super friendly . They will at a reasonable cost cook dinner and provide complementing local wines . We were there at Easter so although it was too chilly to use the pool we had some lovely BBQ's. Our days were spent exploring the medival towns , hiking with the occasional trip to the coast . The local restaurants were exceptionally well priced and served simple but good wholesome food . ( One member of the party was vegetarian but this did not prove to be problematic ). I would love to revisit and will certainly recommend to my friends .

We arrived at this countryside property a hot day in july and loved the house! It has everything you need for a relaxing holiday - clean and big house with a lovely pool. The rooms are big and the house is very charming. The garden is also great and the pool has a nice size:)We where a big family with some children and everyone loved the house.Several times a week the bakerycar and cheese car come along so you can buy delicious food!The people nearby is very nice,but dont speak English. Nobody speaks english...so have your italianbook with you;) One night we ate at the agriturismo that you drive by on your way up to the house - and it was amazing.Best experience ever and the people was so nice! LOTS of food ! There are some very important things to know tough: This property is on a top with small twisty roads and is far away from most things.The nearby markets(15 min drive)has limited things and the beach/coast is a 40 min drive away.There you have the big supermarkets.There are many animals around the house and we had a dog visiting us many times,but he was nice:) and then you have the chickens,rooster and turkeys that make some noise(but really no problem).Remember that the house is far away from most things,but is perfect for a relaxing holiday! We liked it,but It would have been nice to have a nice town in walking distance. Kind regards from Tanja and family - from Norway

We stayed at LCR for two weeks from 22/07 to 05/08/2017 to 11 people including two children. The house is splendid, spacious, comfortable and very clean. The rooms are very large and the bathrooms very well arranged, a large living room with 3 sofas, TV and WiFi comfortably accommodates all occupants, the kitchen is well equipped, we have prepared most of our meals. The outsides are well maintained, the panorama is magnificent with views of the hills and nearby mountains. Our children especially enjoyed the pool, welcome by this summer of strong heat. We were able to celebrate our 50 years of marriage with our many guests, a big thank you to Tom the owner Tom was caring and attentive to all our requests, as well as Sergio and Anna Maria, the housekeepers who were friendly and helpful so that we could have a pleasant stay. The place is ideal for walks and climbs in the mountains (chain Gran Sasso), the sea at 40 minutes with Monte silvano and Pineto, and all visits to towns and villages around. We recommend this place, quiet, quiet and safe, for our part we would return to LCR with great pleasure. So we tell you “ go there, you will not be disappointed !” Elio and Annie PELINI September 30, 2017.
