Countryside retreat with panoramic views

Set over two floors with sweeping views across the Fino Valley, this spacious countryside apartment is ideal for longer stays in rural Abruzzo. The large terrace is a standout feature — perfect for slow mornings, outdoor meals and sunset views. Well suited to couples who enjoy space or two friends travelling together, it’s a relaxed base for exploring the hills between the Gran Sasso mountains and the Adriatic coast at your own pace. The space Le Colline grande is one of four characterful apartments within a beautifully restored stone building that was once an olive press. Set in the peaceful Fino Valley, it offers a true rural Abruzzo stay, with open views across rolling countryside that stretch all the way to the Adriatic Sea on clear days. Its location makes it an ideal base for exploring Abruzzo — from the Gran Sasso foothills and national parks to medieval villages and the coast. This spacious two-bedroom self-catering apartment is arranged over two floors, making it particularly well suited to two couples, friends travelling together, or guests staying longer who appreciate space and privacy. On the lower floor you’ll find a bright open-plan living area with a well-equipped kitchenette, dining table, and comfortable seating for relaxing after a day outdoors. This level also includes one of the bedrooms and a separate bathroom, creating a practical and comfortable layout. A feature stairwell leads to the upper floor, where the second bedroom sits beneath traditional exposed beams, along with a second bathroom. The split-level design allows guests to enjoy shared space while still having privacy and quiet when needed. Outdoor living is a real highlight. The apartment has two private terraces — an open-air entrance terrace on the lower level and an upstairs balcony — both offering panoramic valley views. They’re perfect for slow breakfasts, outdoor meals, or a glass of wine at sunset while soaking up the surrounding countryside. Le Colline grande is ideally placed for exploring Abruzzo by car or motorcycle and is particularly popular with cyclists, hikers, and walkers. From gentle valley routes to hill climbs, village walks, and mountain trails, the area is a fantastic base for outdoor-focused and slow-travel holidays. You’ll find yourself at the foot of the mountains, near the Gran Sasso, within 20 minutes, while the Adriatic coast is around a 45-minute drive away — making Le Colline grande an ideal mountain and sea base to explore Abruzzo. Nearby medieval villages such as Castiglione Messer Raimondo, Bisenti and Cellino Attanasio are perfect for gentle exploration, while Atri and Penne offer lively markets and historic charm.
