Description
This farmhouse in Serramoncesca is ideally situated for the weather, for totally quiet holidays (here) or the night life (Pescara, Chieti etc. only a few minutes by car), for walking/bike holidays, for beach holidays for skiing holidays or just relax in our spacious grounds or on the large south facing terrace, or by the large 12 m pool good for both summer and winter (not the terrace!) holidays. The nearby mountain is 2700 metres and this region was a extra practise area for the recent Turin (Torino) winter Olympics. Chair lift open in summer as well as winter. There are two local restaurants very good, very cheap. Two people can eat in the La Cascina for 22 euros - that includes the wine and water! And if you fancy a visit to Rome - it is only 1.5 hours by car - so a good day trip if you leave early!
Our house is situated right on the edge of the Majella National Park. There are numerous picturesque villages around. From the farmhouse, one can walk down (through our grounds) to the river - and follow it to the sea at Pescara (if you are feeling really energetic!) but 10 minutes walk from Serramonacesa is a leafy glade where one can walk alongside a small river with some wonderful small waterfalls - and in the summer one can even get wet under them! Lovely for picnics. Serramonacesca has two well equipped village shops, two bars , a doctor and pharmacy, and ofcourse several local, not too expensive, local restaurants. A car is really necessary, but a bus leaves the village every hour for surrounding areas. About 30 minute drive is a superb gorge one can walk through (providing you have a head for heights) again with magnificent views. Tennis is available together with basketball/netball/5aside football pitch.
The house is totally secluded just 5 min. from the sleepy village of Serramonacesca. The house, facing South (so sun all day) is situated in nearly 5 acres with 200 olive trees, walnut, fig and pear trees. There is a choice of several outside eating areas with tables and chairs and off the kitchen is a large pergola with vines growing. If the sun does get too hot then the large Open Room (with 1m thick stone walls) offers further choice with some beautiful Italian antique furniture. The very small river is good for fishing -(according to the locals). One of the many places to eat, the very large terrace (12x6 m) is equipped with a gazebo and large round table with six chairs, swing seat and several hammocks. The log cabin by the pool has a small bathroom with toilet (not connected) and can sleep an extra 2 singles and only 20m from the main house, if extra bedroom facilities are required.
