1480m high villa, surrounded by woods and sun.

The villa, located 1480m above the sea, is spacious with wooden interiors and a terrace exposed to the sun with a beautiful view of the beech woods. It can be reached comfortably by car. In winter it is possible to leave the house with skis on. The house is warm in winter and cool in summer. Other things to note Marsia was in the '70 and '80 a well-known ski resort with shops and restaurants. Since the ski facilities were abandoned, it's now just a quiet place, with no renovation and some abandoned buildings. You need a couple of days to get used to it... Horses and cows are habitants you would usually meet (also within the garden of the house), but foxes and other animals wish to meet with you as well. Aside from walking, cycling etc. there is just one camping with a restaurant close by. If you wish to experiment playing in a very old tennis court, you are free to do so, but you should accept the idea to play with cows and horses as well. If you expect some (even basic) entertainment, this is not the right venue for you. If you wish to relax and forget about work, if you like walking in the wood (the biggest beech forest in Europe they claim), then this is actually why we like to stay there. 20m by car, though, there is a very nice old village (Tagliacozzo) with many restaurants which can be quite crowded/trendy in summer and offset the isolation of Marsia. There, you will also find shops and buy food.
