Amazing modern house set in olive grove with mountain views. Has all amenities. Lovely hosts. In a great spot to sample the delights of Abruzzo of which there,are many.

Thanks Francesca for your great hospitality.

Everything a small family could need for a peaceful rest in the country surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. Wonderful hosts. And beaches, shops and restaurants a short drive away.

(Soggiorno dal 16 al 31 agosto 2017) Cosa possiamo aggiungere a ciò che di positivo è stato già evidenziato nelle precedenti recensioni? Siamo in difficoltà e sicuramente ci ripeteremo. Villa spaziosa, moderna e ricca di ogni possibile comfort per rendere piacevole la nostra permanenza; giardino curatissimo all'interno di un parco di ulivi secolari; ampia piscina anch'essa curata al meglio... ...e se ciò non fosse già sufficiente, Tommaso e Francesca ci hanno fatto sentire come a casa nostra dal primo istante in cui abbiamo messo piede nella villa. Ci hanno fornito consigli su tutti i posti da frequentare: ristoranti ("obbligatoria" una cena al Trabocco "Punta Cavalluccio"), spiagge e luoghi immersi nel verde dove passeggiare. Dire che non ci hanno fatto mancare nulla è poco, ci siamo sentiti come amici che si conoscono da una vita. Sappiamo già che il nostro ritorno sarà come una piacevole rimpatriata. Non sono state le nostre prime vacanze in Abruzzo e possiamo quindi confermare, infine, il gradevole clima, l'accoglienza della gente del posto e la bontà della cucina. Tra le tante mete che si possono scegliere per le proprie vacanze, consigliamo vivamente almeno una volta il soggiorno in questa meravigliosa location. Mara, Maurizio, Matteo e Massimiliano

No other word then our headline exactly describes this vacation. We had two wonderful weeks with perfect weather, in a perfect house, with a perfect garden and a perfect pool, perfect beaches and perfect sightseeing spots. As many reviewers already said before: the Abbruzo region offers so much possibilities to experience the real "Italy" far away from any mass tourism. In addition to that, coming back to Villa Emilio after a wonderful day of sightseeing, feels like being in your own little paradise which was so relaxing. The landlords of the house take care of the vacationers from the first minute and offer a full concierge service for free. Whether it was a reservation for dinner, information about sightseeing spots, information about parking possibilities, organization of tours in a winery, etc. One WhatsApp message was enough and minutes later you had the perfect answer/solution. Dear Francesca and Tommaso, thank you so much for such a wonderful holiday. I am very sure we will come back to see you again in the near future.

Hello again We are now the fourth time here, and what a surprise, everything just as we expected. Perfectly maintained garden, clinically clean house, fast WLAN. Francesca and Tommaso are always available for any special requests and questions with utmost friendliness. Definite 5 stars. Martin & Maia

Wat een heerlijke villa!!! Rust, ruimte en een top ontvangst. Niets is teveel gevraagd, gewoon top service. Ik zou deze woning zeker aanbevelen en wij keren er zekers terug. We hebben pech gehad met het weer maar het is daar normaal nog schitterend weer. Te doen : indien wijnliefhebbers zekers Collefrisio doen (en plaats maken in de auto), gaan eten Trabocco, Ferrara, olijfoliedegustatie Oropuro ( Cantin'arte). Special thans to Tommaso and Francesca. Big kisses from us and Oggy.Ciao Ciao xxxxx

We can agree on all the comments writen before. We saw the pictures of the villa when searching for a holiday house and could not believe that this is real. We did not know the Abruzze before and decided due to the look if the house. When we arrived and the door opened we were really absolutely overwhelmed. The fantastic huge garden area with the pool and the stunning architecture of the house was really fabulous. And Francesca and Tommaso are such lovely people, they did everything we might have needed and introduced us to the beautiful area of the Abruzze. It was really everything perfect and fantastic. A highlight was also the dinner with both of them on our last evening. We have 2 new friends now and can only absolutely recommend villa Emilio for holiday in paradise.

Una volta chiuso il cancello dietro alle proprie spalle si approda in un altro mondo, dove ti lasci tutto alle spalle e potresti benissimo spegnere il cellulare per staccare completamente la spina del cervello. La villa è veramente bella, c'è poco da dire! Tenuta benissimo, maniacalmente, pulita, elegante, lussuosa e raffinata. Ci ha colpito molto la gentilezza e la disponibilità del proprietario Tommaso, sempre reperibile e pronto per qualsiasi evenienza. Ci ha aiutato a trovare ottimi ristoranti in zona e spiagge vicine lungo la costa adriatica. Abbiamo affittato questa villa per fare uno shooting fotografico di moda e devo dire che l'ambiente piacevole della casa ci ha reso tutto più facile. So che prima o poi ci ritornerò! :)

Chiudi il cancello e sei in paradiso.... è l'esatta sensazione che ti da l'arrivo a Villa Emilio,per una settimana ti dimentichi di tutto e ti godi una meraviglia di casa e un paesaggio rilassante e straordinario.Grazie a Tommaso e Francesca abbiamo trascorso una settimana veramente "in vacanza",coccolati dalla splendida piscina e da tutti gli abitanti del paese.Da non perdere la cena al Trabocco di Punta Cavallina,perfetta...peccato non averlo vicino a casa!! Grazie Francesca e Tommaso ....sicuramente ci rivedremo! Claudio Sabrina e Isotta

Liebe Francesca, lieber Tommaso, wir hatten wunderschöne Ferientage in Eurem liebevoll gestalten Haus. Das Wetter meinte es nicht ganz gut mit uns, das war aber überhaupt kein Problem, mit einem romantischen Kaminabend und einem lichtdurchfluteten Haus haben wir es uns gemütlich gemacht. Besonders wollen wir uns bei Euch über eure herzliche Aufnahme, die tollen Reservierungen (Essen, Besichtigung einer Nudelfabrik etc...) bedanken. Rundum ein Urlaub zum wiederholen. Unser Hund Spencer kommt auch sofort wieder, er wollt eigentlich nicht mehr abreisen. ciao et mille gracie Ellen, Matthias und Spencer

Sorry, Francesca and Tommaso we have to write in german to express our feelings.... Es ist nicht richtig, dass wir nur 5 Sterne vergeben können, hier ist alles mindestens mit 6 oder 7 Sternen zu bewerten. Das Haus, der Pool, der Garten, alles ist noch schöner wie auf den Photos, einfach paradiesisch. Aber das allerbeste sind Francesca und Tommaso.... Wann kommt es schon vor, dass man auf solch wunderbare Menschen trifft, deren Herzensangelegenheit es ist, dieses herrliche Abruzzen und seine Menschen vorzustellen. Wir haben uns verliebt in diese Region und in die Menschen......und wir waren sicher nicht das letzte Mal hier, es gibt noch viel zu sehen. Danke für Alles!! We are still dreaming of the Villa Emilio and Abruzzo..... Kisses Silvia, Rainer and Louis

This was our first visit to Villa Emilio and Abruzzo. The villa itself is surrounded by olives trees and vineyards - a haven of peace and tranquility - with views to the mountains beyond. The house itself is truly special: modern and comfortable, it is pristine, well cared-for and spotlessly clean. It offers everything you could possibly need and more. Sadly, our holiday was only a week and we would have loved to have been able to stay longer! As if the setting, the house and the lovely pool were not enough, the owners, Francesca and Tommaso, gave us a wonderful welcome and it is largely down to them that our holiday at Villa Emilio has been unforgettable. Nothing was too much trouble and they were always happy to give recommendations or advice on places to visit or restaurants and local specialities to try and so on - Tommaso particularly is very keen to introduce visitors to his little-known and very unspoiled region of Abruzzo. Francesca and Tommaso were charming, kind and genuine hosts - yet, at the same time, never intrusive. The area attracts very few foreign tourists and is definitely worth a visit. Don't miss the chance to have a delicious meal in wonderful surroundings on a traditional trabocco (fishing jetty over the sea) - fresh fish in a beautiful spot over the waters of the Adriatic - we had a lovely evening - thanks again to Francesca and Tommaso! Great pizza at La Berlocca, wonderful ice cream at the Copa de Dora, and the neighbouring vineyard of Collefrisio is also worth a visit. I feel like we have just scratched the surface of Abruzzo - but we will definitely be back as soon as we can!

Dopo due anni abbiamo deciso di ritornare per una breve vacanza a Villa Emilio. L'accoglienza del proprietario e' stata dir poco fantastica, la casa tenuta come un gioiello dentro e fuori tanto da farti venir voglia di non andare più via. Ci siamo affidati al proprietario Tommaso per farci vedere nuovi posti di questa bellissima regione qual'e' l'Abruzzo. Consiglio a tutti di pranzare sul trabocco Punta Cavalluccio per mangiare un ottimo pesce sul mare, fatevi portare nelle aziende vinicole una su tutte Colle Frisio dove assaporerete un ottimo vino con magnifica veduta della valle del moro. Per cena vi consiglio il ristorante La Berlocca dove la pizza e' buonissima. Per chiudere questa casa e' perfetta per chiunque voglia vivere il lusso in serenità' coccolato e guidato in tutto dalla proprietà' che renderà la vostra vacanza indimenticabile. Grazie Tommaso , Francesca ... e Audrey( la mascotte), Alessio e Miria

We did not believe the pictures were real, but it is so beautiful as the pictures are. The villa is more than beautiful in the natural area of the Abruzzen. We felt like in a dream which became true. Francesca and Tomasso, the owner did the very best to make us feel happy every day. They know the best restaurants and places to go. We became true friends, and that is the best one can get in life. Thank you both. Jacqueline and Joerg

Die Fotos waren so schön, dass wir kaum zu glauben wagten, dass es in Wirklichkeit auch so schön ist. Aber es ist und war soooo schön. Aller Komfort, wunderschöne Einrichtung, alles um sich wohl und glücklich zu fühlen. Ein Traumhaus in einer wunderschönen Umgebung. Francesca und Tomasso taten alles um uns zu verwöhnen. Die köstlichsten Restaurants und Ausflugsziele fanden wir dank ihnen. Wir begannen diese wunderschöne Gegend zu lieben und haben nun wunderbare Freunde mit Francesca und Tomaso gefunden. Danke für Alles. Es war perfekt. Herzlichen Dank Jacqueline & Jörg, Frankreich und Schweiz

This was our second stay at magnificent Villa Emilio, our first stay was in 2012. Our children are now age 2 and 5 and they absolutely loved it - so did my wife and I again. The house, pool and garden is fantastic - it is as good as it looks in the pictures. The sourrounding area is also fabulous, wtih a nice town and beaches in Ortona and further along the coast. Francesca and Tommaso - thank you for a lovely holiday. Everything from greeting us at the airport to delivering pastries to the boys:) Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful holiday in villa Emilio. Thanks to Tommaso and Francesca for their friendship and availability to show the beauty of the sourrounding area. Definitely we'll came back next year. Greg

Questa estate abbiamo passato la vacanza in Villa Emillio. I titolari Francesca e Tommaso ci hanno accolto in maniera calorosa e amichevole. Abbiamo trascorso tre settimane fantastiche grazie alla loro cortesia e ci hanno fatto sentire come se fossimo a casa nostra. La casa situata vicino la citta’ di Ortona e meravigliosa, studiata e strutturata in maniera eccellente e curata nel minimo dettaglio con tutte le comodita’ che si possano desiderare. L’ospitalia’ dei proprietari e’ stata piu’ che eccellente, ci hanno portato per escursioni e fatto visitare Ortona e il mare sulla barca, il tutto con una grande dose di cordialità grazie all'atmosfera semplice e familiare. Ho molto piacere nel dire che siamo stati cosi’ bene che siamo diventati molto amici con Francesca e Tommaso e non vediamo l’ora di tornare a trovalrli. Durante la nostra permanenza è stato tutto oltre le nostre aspettative e consigliamo a tutti di passare le vostra vacanze in questo posto fantastico. Zuzana & Radek & Stella & Miro ed Ilaria

If you like travel in a country without to much tourists,near ocean,in real Italy you have to visit Abruzzi ,Ortona and Pescara are very nice towns. Thank's to our friends Francesca and Tommaso.They made everything to make our stay in Abruzzi ,fantastic.This rare house is maintained in a impeccable way. The environment in vineyards and olive trees with huge pool is very convenient to the relaxation. The closeness of the city and the sea make this house unique(only) and perfect place for the discovery of fines vineyards whose closest and welcoming is COLLEFRISIO. We have so many things to discover in this magnificent region that we shall return certainly. Grazie mille per tutti Michèle and Normand

Dear Tommaso and Francesca Thanks for your hospitality during our lovely two weeks in your most amazing Villa. We have travelled before to many different places in Italy and we have to say that Abruzzo was a big positive surprise for us, the food, the wine, the people the beaches and last but not least the ice cream mmm……. For other readers we are a family of four with a small dog that just loved to run around the large fenced garden full of olive trees. The swimming pool was always most welcomed to cool down during the hot days or to play around with our children. The owners were great and organized for us what ever we wanted, the beach, a boat trip or just a restaurant. If you are looking for modern house, which are not many in the market then this is a must and explore Abruzzo which don’t have many tourists other than Italians that are enjoying the region. We will surely return again. Magnus and Maja

We had a wonderful two weeks at this amazing house. Our family of four, two children aged 0 and 3 enjoyed the house, pool, garden, hospitality and everything else. We also had a visit from my parents for a week. The owner were hospitable and helped us with everything possible. A visit to the nearby wineyard Collefrisio is much recommended. If you have the opportunity - rent this house. You will not regret it. David Smestad with family Oslo, Norway
