From the initial contact to our final departure, everything was superb. All our questions about the area and transport were answered even before we booked. On arrival, we received a warm welcome with drinks and nibbles on the terrace. The apartment far exceeded our expectations. The bed was so comfortable, the furnishings top class. Lots of little extras. A nice bottle of wine, milk, water, tea bags and coffee to get us started. The views from our private terrace were amazing. It was so relaxing, we felt so at home. Stephen and Kate were always on hand to give us advice on where to eat, shop, etc. and were a mine of information. And the people in the village so friendly. Maria from the local store and bar welcomed us warmly. The area is fantastic, it was our first visit to Abruzzo and it was everything we had read about. Great area for walking and the coast is about half an hour away. We ate at the Agriturismo, a couple of minutes walk away, and the food was lovely. Didn't go swimming in the pool there but it looked great. We visited lots of lovely villages close by all surrounded by the beautiful hills and lakes. A feast for the eyes wherever you go. You need a car to appreciate the area. We would certainly recommend it and can't wait to return.

A wonderful place in the most serene setting. Easy to get to local villages, which is a must if you want see the real Italy (just like the website says). The service was fantastic by people I would love to call friends. Can't wait to go back, I am dreaming of it already and I have only been home 2 weeks. Can't get enough of it I really need to go back.
