Très belle maison. Bien équipée et super vue

We loved our stay! The house was comfortable, well-appointed and the view was just unreal. A perfect quiet, country getaway and we hope to be back.

Just returned from a two weeks stay in this amazing villa. The place is beautiful, with a stunning panorama of green hills (or a star-filled night-sky) and provides everything required to enjoy the stay.

Wat een fijn huis. Heel knus ingericht en goede faciliteiten; fijn zwembad, prachtig terras met fenomenaal uitzicht, goede keuken en badkamers en knusse kamers. Genoeg ruimte ook om je terug te trekken en rustig een boek te lezen.

Il posto ha soddisfatto e superato le nostre aspettative, Un casale tipico, accuratamente ristrutturato dove non manca assolutamente niente. Immerso in un'osai verde, una grande terrazza coperta con veduta mozzafiato sulle colline abruzzesi. Bellissima la piscina e la zona solarium con 4 comodi lettini, tanto bella che ha occupato buona parte del nostro tempo. L'interno è moto ben disposto con 3 camere due bagni e una grande zona cucina-giorno, molto comodo per 8 persone. Lo consiglio.

We absolutely adored our stay and looking forward to come back next year. Gunilla has been super service minded and helpful trough the whole process. I will highly recommend this amazing spot.

We came here after spending several 'big city' days (Barcelona & Rome), and this was exactly what we needed! Unbeatable views, fabulous outdoor sitting area, full kitchen, pool, books, puzzles, games - what more could you need? Beautiful beaches are about a 25-minute drive, and you can walk to the charming town of Palmoli in about 20-minutes. The hosts provide an extensive list of activities, beaches, and restaurants. We miss it already!

Ett superfint hus med härlig terass, fint inrett och med sköna sängar. Precis så charmigt som det ser ut på bilderna. Vi bodde här under 9 varma dagar i augusti och trivdes väldigt bra. Ägaren svarade blixtsnabbt på våra frågor och såg till att fixa fläktar och annat när det behövdes. Vi fick dessutom massor av trevliga tips på restauranger, badplatser och annat att göra i området. Kan varmt rekommenderas till den som gillar en lugn, lantlig, genuin atmosfär.

Underbar utsikt och omgivning. Rent och fräscht hus med alla nödvändiga faciliteter. Sköna sängar. Såg precis ut som på bilderna, fast bättre! Härlig pool! Var dock väldigt varmt på nätterna, hade gärna haft en fläkt alternativt myggnät som täckte fönstren.

The house was comfortable and accommodate our grown family of 7 very nicely. The view at all times of the day was lovely. The surrounding villages are a little quieter than expected, but the sea was not far away. This was a great place to relax and get over jet lag before tackling Rome.

Wow wow wow. This place is AMAZING. So sad we didn't stay longer! Gorgeous views--you can't stop staring at the rolling hills, lavender and butterflies everywhere. The house is so functional and beautiful and comfortable. I can't say enough good things about this house--we will DEFINITELY be back.

Wer Ruhe sucht ist hier goldrichtig. Das Ferienhaus liegt allein am Hang oberhalb eines Olivenhain. Es herrscht absolute Stille und außer ein paar Tieren der benachbarten Bauern ist nichts zu hören. Nach Palmoli kann man zu Fuß laufen (ca. 20 Minuten den Berg hoch) und ans Meer braucht man mit dem Auto ca. 30 Minuten. Der Pool ist super, sauber und herrlich erfrischend. Die Kommunikation war top. Die Umgebung ist wunderschön und die kleinen Bergdörfer einen Besuch wert. Wir waren Ende August , Anfang September da und durch die bereits abklingende Saison war es schön leer und nur noch vereinzelt Touristen anzutreffen. Zusammenfassend war einfach alles super.

Where should I begin? This place was spectacular - I wish I could award more than 5 stars. We wanted a nice, peaceful location in rural Italy to relax a bit during our 2 week honeymoon, and this was exactly the spot we had in mind. Gunilla (the owner) was very responsive and helpful in providing advice on activities in Abruzzo, and Craig was also helpful in meeting us at the villa and providing us with additional information. The villa itself is beautiful - secluded with a patio overlooking the mountains of Abruzzo, nice grill, multiple chimneys, great kitchen and living area, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Unfortunately, it wasn't warm enough to use the pool, but we spent hours just sitting on the patio enjoying the view of the mountains and surrounding olive groves during the day, at sunset, and at night in front of a roaring fire. Palmoli, the nearest small town, was interesting to explore, as were Vasto, Termoli, and Santo Stefano di Sessiano (amazing!!). We took a day trip to Trivento, which is a beautiful historic mountaintop town in Molise. Craig booked a reservation for us for a Sunday afternoon lunch at a local agriturismo, which served us an unbelievably delicious Abruzzo lunch. Finally, we met the next-door farmers, Giuseppe and Evelina, who were a pleasure to interact with - even though they didn't speak English and we don't speak Italian! We purchased wine, olive oil, vegetables, eggs, and lamb from them - all fresh from their farm - they even invited us into their house for coffee and pastries. We felt so at home in this villa and area and would love to visit again someday.

Jättefint hus med härlig uteplats, stor pool och en uteplats med utsikt man inte kunde se sig mätt på. Fräscht och fint inne med gudomligt sköna sängar, stort plus. Kanske något torftigt med husgeråd och porslin men annars toppen. Grannens trevliga hund som delade altan med oss hela veckan och fåren med bjällror runt halsen som betade i omgivningen bidrog stort till trivseln. Tyvärr fanns varken adress eller gps kordinater med i vägbeskrivning så vi som kom från en annan flygplats än den rekommenderade hade aldrig hittat huset om inte en vänlig man i omgivningen gjort sig tid att köra före oss fram till nedfarten. Kändes lite trist att det tog ett par extra timmar pga detta. Huset ligger fantastiskt vackert men vägnätets skick och utformningen gjorde att det tog längre tid att ta sig runt i omgivningen än beräknat, kanske för att vi hade en relativt stor hyrbil och inte kunde brassa på som italienare utför kullarna. Men å andra sidan är det ett fantastiskt hus att bara vara i så behovet av att lämna det var begränsat.

We had a wonderful stay in a wonderful house! We spent eight days in Gunillas house and it was a very nice vacation. The house is very nice furnished and everything you need is there. Mostly we prepared our meals at home (sometimes with the grill) and enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere around. Thank you very much to Karen and Dave for welcome us and offering so much good food, oil, red vine and other special delicasies. Perhaps it would be a good idea to cover the pool by night because we always had a lot of insects in it. For following guests we remark that the last meters to the house are a little bit difficult to drive (especially with bigger cars) but it's manageable :) Vasto is really a nice town with beautiful restaurants and beach. We can recommand this house to all guests who prefer holiday in a wonderful but quiet area.

An excellent option for vacation in the mountains, you can enjoy the fresh air and the tranquility of the mountain and being just a few kms from the beach . the house is very comfortable and has a beautiful view of the mountains. the city of Vasto is a few kms and you will find excellent restaurants, good shops and markets I highly recommend

Lovely house and wonderful surroundings. A bit hard to get the car down to the house but we managed. The house was very clean and tidy, one of the neighbors who welcomed us and gave us the key got to be such a help with finding restaurants and doing true italian things. We some minor problems with the house but everything was solved during our stay and Gunilla always helped us when we called, or Karen & Dave. We didn´t know that it would be quite as far to restaurants and places to visit when we got there. You can walk up to Palmoli but it´s very steep and you walk mostly in the forrest. The surroundings was just wonderful and when you wake up in the morning and look out at the valley you just loose your breath. Vasto was a really nice town where we went quite a few times. There is also an absolutely amazing fish restaurant between Montefalcone and Montemitro. You just HAVE to go there the food is awesome. We had never learned so much about Italy and the surroundings is it hadn´t been for the truly wonderful neighbors K & D. The house was really nice and the pool was useful in the sunny days. We stayed for 4 weeks so we really got to test the house and we have made some suggestions to Gunilla but in all we had a marvelous time!

We decided to go to Italy only a few days before leaving home and came across this house on the internet. The contact with the owner was very easy and everything was arranged instantly. The owner was very caring and gave us a lot of useful tips about our stay and the surroundings. Our contact on site was an extremely friendly native English-speaking couple who made our arrival (and departure) very smooth. The house is simply fantastic, especially the view from the master bedrooms and the terrace. We spent most of the days and evenings by the pool (great for our two young children) or on the terrace from breakfast til dinner. Candles and discrete outside lightning makes sure the ambiance is right. Inside is very clean and well furnished. The inside feels brand new while some old charm has been preserved as it is an old and completely refurbished farmhouse. You feel quite isolated (what we were looking for) but a few very friendly neighbors live a couple of hundred meters from the house. If you come in late as we did try to bring some basic amenities as there are only charmingly tiny grocery stores in the nearest 20km with limited opening hours. The kitchen is well-equipped and we cooked most of the food ourselves as there are not many restaurants around and it is often easier to eat at home with kids! Palmoli, a small local village, is just next-doors and if you are sporty you can go there by foot through the "bush". I personally enjoyed shopping from the local butcher who can provide all the meat you want but English will not take you far which enhances the Italian submersion! It you want to swim in the sea instead of the pool you can find beautiful beaches in Vasto and Porto di Vasto (less commercial). We can certainly recommend this house to anyone!

We stayed in this gorgeous home in August. We booked it for two weeks. The access to the property is a bit tricky but once there, you are in total seclusion. No other homes can be seen from the property. The views of the mountains are phenominal. The home was exceptionally clean, well maintained, well furnished and the furniture is way better than any rental we have seen before. Our kids ages 4 and 7 enjoyed the pool. Gunilla was extremely easy to work with and made our stay enjoyable. She also provided some good information about the area. We cannot say enough good things about our stay. We would recommend this property to all our friends and families.

We arrived late in the evening, exhausted from work, and were greeted by the fantastic views, candles on the terrace and local wine ready for the glasses. Immediate relaxation. The standard of the property is very high, every detail seems to have been chosen with much care. We particularly enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen, and outside (try pizza on the grill!). The local wine is delicious and food markets in the nearby villages filled with fresh cheese, charcuterie and vegetables/fruits. If you are looking to shop for more than a simple lunch or dinner, go to the markets or the large grocery store in Vasto. The views are breath-taking. Time is well spent on the terrace and by the pool side. You may also hear bells from the sheep browsing nearby. We loved that. As we got ready to leave and looked back on our stay, we realized that we had hardly left the house. The location and property offered all the tranquility and comfort we had looked for. In summary, this is an haven for wellbeing. We can't wait to go back.
