Casale della Maiella Details

The house is peaceful and quiet, but not remote. The medieval town of Guardiagrele (voted "one of the most beautiful towns in Italy) is 5 minutes away, you can see its old walls and homes along the skyline from the garden as the house is positioned right in Bocca di Valle (Mouth of the Valley) and receives lovely cooling breezes as you sit outside enjoying the fresh, clean air with your aperitivo in hand! The house is surrounded by olive groves and has views of the mountains from one direction and the Adriatic from the other.

The apartment is a large fully self-contained ground floor area of 150 square meters that used to be the original stables of the farm house. Most of the existing structure is still there, including the brick and stone walls, archways and floors. The thick stone walls help to keep the apartment cool in summer and warm in winter. The house is made of the beautiful Maiella stone from the nearby mountains.

Conveniences include a private garden, gas BBQ, gas stove, frig, microwave, kettle, coffee pot, dishwasher and a newly installed rain shower. Basic provisions are supplied.
