Overview
Description
If its complete relaxation and tranquillity you’re after, this spacious and comfortable house is ideal. Nestling in the green hills and valleys, between Bisenti and Castiglione Messer Raimondo, with amazing views of the Gran Sasso mountain range. Ideal for walking.Plenty of outdoor space for great summer living but also plenty of places to sit in the shade at the house.
Table outside on the 1st floor terrace can seat 14 for meal times, or table in the kitchen for cooler times.
Private swimming pool and stone built fire pit for sociable barbecue
Take the chance to practise speaking Italian, you’ll find very few English speaking locals in this truly unspoilt region. Closest beach half an hour away at Montesilvano. Or mountain walking, approximately one hour away at the ski resort, Pr ati di Tivo, or the stunning plateau at Campo Imperatore and other areas.
Do your shopping in the local village of Bisenti with everything you'll need in 2 supermarkets, butcher and pharmacy plus 2 very friendly bars for a coffee or something stronger and watch the village life pass you by.
Julia and Colin, our super friendly managing team will ensure your every need is met whilst staying at the house.
If you would like the catering taken care of for a celebration or any meal we have contact with a local chef for your every need. We like to visit the local agriturismo, Colle Paradiso for home cooked local food at an unbeatable price.
If it gets too hot or its raining the lounge can be transformed in to a cinema room with a huge selection of DVDs to choose from.
Our house really is the ideal place for a large family or 2 families looking for a quiet relaxing holiday in beautiful italian country side surroundings.
we have owned the house for 20 years and have never had a bad holiday there.

Leave ReviewWonderful holiday house set amongst stunning Italian scenery
By Lauren on 28-Jul-2024Our large family group of 10 adults and 6 young children had a fantastic time staying in Christine and David's house near Bisenti. It was very spacious and comfortable and surrounded by such a beautiful landscape of hills and mountains it is hard to do it justice with words. The pool was great and we have many happy memories having a lot of fun together every day in it. We sat out on the terrace watching the most amazing stars at night and were blown away by the number of shooting stars we managed to see. We visited the local restaurant at Colle Paradiso, a short drive away, and were so much lovely food we couldn't finish it all. The local town of Bisenti was charming and we were lucky enough to see a religious ceremony with the local people in costume parading through with a donkey. The beach at Montesilvano was nice and we also enjoyed getting the cable car from Fonte Cerreto to Campo Imperatore and some of us managed to climb to the top of Corno Grande. Christine was a brilliant host and did everything she could to make sure we had a wonderful holiday. We would highly recommend staying at Christine's house. Thank you Christine and David for a fantastic holiday!
Great holiday hideaway in a relatively undiscovered area
By Jon Boswell on 29-Aug-2018It was great to find a part of Italy that is entirely unspoilt by tourism even in high season. The house enjoys spectacular scenery as well as being within easy reach of the Adriatic coast. The locals are friendly and there are a number of good value places to eat. The house is well laid out with good facilities and plenty of space for two families of four. We particularly enjoyed the large balcony (with great views), the pool and the fire pit area! It is definitely better value than equivalent houses in better known regions of Italy, and I can certainly recommend it.
Superleuk vakantiehuis met een fantastisch uitzicht !
By Jean V. on 01-Aug-2018Zeer mooi vakantiehuis met leuk zwembad en fantastisch uitzicht op de bergen ! We verbleven hier met 2 gezinnen (8 personen) gedurende één week. Je moet wel rekenen dat je voor de dichtsbijzijnde winkels (supermarkt, bakker, slager, apotheek, ...) 15 minuten mag rijden... maar wel met een geweldig uitzicht tijdens de rit ;) Het strand (Montesilvano) ligt op een klein uurtje rijden. Proef zeker de verse arrosticini van de slager in Bisenti en boek een etentje bij Agriturismo Paradiso ! Kortom een geweldige vakantie in de Italiaanse bergen.
Great villa in a spectacular setting. Stunning views from the balcony and BBQ area and a great pool.
By Mikey M. on 27-Jun-2018We spent a week as two families of four at Christine’s place near Bisenti and we had a wonderful time. The villa is well equipped, particularly upstairs in the main living area. It was clean and tidy, and had all we needed. There is a large balcony wrapped around two sides of the villa which was great for lounging about and gazing at the incredible mountain views, with a big broad table perfect for meals in the evening sun. The downstairs living area is slightly simpler but perfectly nice. Outside, the pool was perfect for us and the kids, and we had a good few days doing little more than relaxing in and out of the water. At the front is table tennis and table football, and a glorious little bbq area hidden away which has the most spectacular view I’ve ever had whilst grilling! It was tricky to find as first timers, and sat nav will be of no help to you, but the Teramo and Abruzzo area was well worth the drive. We had a lovely couple of days at Pineto beach, and a delightful visit to San Lorenzo vineyard (after which we couldn’t resist taking some bottles home and putting our baggage allowance at risk for the return flight!) A week was too short, and we’re already itching to go back!
Italy at its best
By Kevin L. on 08-May-2017There are no pictures that can do this house and its surroundings true justice, it really is a case of see it to really believe it. Here is a really spacious comfortable and well equipped house that gives you the home from home feel while you drink in the beauty of the Abruzzo region. This house also benefits from a great support team to welcome you and should anything go wrong they are just a phone call away 24/7. We recommend this place whole heartedly and shall be returning.
A piece of paradise
By tino on 30-Aug-2014This house does exactly what it says on the tin ,its comfortable. its peaceful, its beautiful,its so well equipped,it was a perfect base for our family of 8 adults to completly chill out . The fact that the owners are willing to share this piece of paradise is beyond us , we were there for a week we relaxed and really chilled out ,the weather was perfect but even if it had rained there was enough to do ,the level of service from the couple that look after the house is again excellent. It was everything it claimed to be and we would return.
