FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO KNOW MORE … - FARM-HOLIDAYS & VILLAGE: our agriturismo has a very large park of 3 hectares (7,5 acres) all surrounding the 2 nearby cottages and one small Tower at its inside, in addition to a large farm all around (producing local vines, olive oil and other typical products). The main house is an historic building from the 1600s, belonged to the family itself. It’s characterized by particular Moorish arches and authentic atmosphere, it’s surrounded by precious original prehistoric menhirs and small pieces of columns from Roman age, both coming from the area itself (which is also a small archeological site). All the spaces inside this country village, furnished with several outdoor equipments, are flat and full of plants, lawns and flowers typical of our Mediterranean climate, besides all the outside areas lighted also with scenographic lights. Some more attractions inside our farmhouse are given by our really friendly pets and small farm animals, which almost always move freely around the park and always are looking for petting … and maybe some food! - COMMON SERVICES & POOL: though being not far each other (ideal also for groups), all the apartments perfectly preserve their own privacy, quite and personal spaces. In the common area there are some free facilities as two small but charming pools (facing the nearby mountains), with an equipped and comfortable large solarium for enjoying the sun and relax in a quite atmosphere. Everywhere there is a good free Wi-fi connection (also inside all the apartments). Besides the personal patio/terrace and small gardens in front of each apartment, there are many very large outdoor areas for common use all around, ideal for reading or, if you like, meeting people. Among these a covered large living area with a small library equipped for relaxing, plus a really big charming tensile structure in a Moorish style with table tennis, football table and more. At its side we also have two volleyball courts and some mountain bikes (on rent). Also these areas are very well lighted, for an evening use. Two washing machines for common use are in the outside area (plus 2 personal ones inside the large apartments). - STRATEGIC LOCATION: we are very close to the high and wild mountains of two National Parks (very rich of history and nature), but just 30 minutes from the beaches (40 min. to reach 2 Marine Reserves), half an hour from Pescara (big commercial and tourist city), with its international airport (several low-cost flights for the major European capitals), and 1.5 h. to Rome (perfect for easy day trips - even with the possibility of direct buses which take 2 hours and cost only 11 €).
