Photos and Description of the Abruzzo vacation house rental

I Terrazzi nestles in the quiet village of Roccacasale, just below the ruins of the medieval castle. Roccacasale is within the national park and the village clings impossibly to the slopes of the Maiella mountains. Above all, this authentic 16th century house with all modern facilities gives the true feeling of Italian mountain village life. It is an ideal base for exploring the mountains, literally on the doorstep, and the surrounding area which is packed with historical and natural marvels. There are bars and restaurants nearby plus the bustling market town of Sulmona 8km away. The Rome Pescara motorway is 5km from the house giving easy access from both Pescara and Rome airports (about 1.5 hours drive to Rome). There are ski resorts nearby, and the beaches of the Adriatic are 30-40 mins away. The house boasts a fantastic roof terrace with a view over the whole area, four good sized bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, lounge area, dining area, and a granite topped kitchen along with a utility room

Abbruzzo is the greenest area in Europe with stunning scenery and a huge variety of wildlife. Within the national park there are wolves and bears. Abruzzo has a thousand castles some perilously perched on cliff edges others forming the heart of a settlement. There are many ski resorts near to the house, catering for all abilities. The beaches of Pescara are within easy reach and there are lakes nearby. Sulmona is world famous for its production of confetti and has a great market. There are many villages and towns with fascinating local customs and delicacies, churches and museums to visit and natural wonders such as the waterfall at the San Venanzio gullies. On a practical level there are many shopping centres nearby for groceries and an abundance of bars and restaurants. Interesting local produce includes pottery, lace, jewellery and honey. During the summer there always seems to be a festa to celebrate something in one of the local villages - an experience not to be missed.
