The mighty wall against the ground of the garage has been insulated and protected with an impressive filling of filtering material for the outflow of rainwater. The land of approximately 7,500 square meters that extends especially laterally and behind the villa has many productive olive trees and several fruit trees. Two brick annexes have been built on the land and are currently used as a chicken coop, rabbit hutch and small goat stable.

There is the possibility of building a swimming pool in the flat area next to the villa.

There are frequent bus connections to the city of Chieti. The A24 motorway is 10 km away (Manoppello), Passo lanciano (ski resort), the coast with the beaches of the Adriatic Sea and the city of Pescara with the International Airport are approximately 27 km away.

CASALINCONTRADA - CHIETI PROVINCE

Located at 330 metres above sea level, Casalincontrada is a delightful village, set on a hill between the Alento and Pescara Rivers. It is in a great position being almost equidistant between Abruzzo Airport, the Adriatic Coast and ski resorts of the Maiella. The agricultural fields surrounding Casalincontrada are rich in crops and, in particular, olive groves.

The town still hosts a few medieval, structures including the 15^th century city gate and baronial palace. Some of its houses are built from earth (a mixture of straw, water and clay), which was a type of construction, used in several Abruzzo areas, until after World War II. There is even a centre, in the town hall, which documents the construction and preservation of this craft.

The population is 3,022 and is served by food shops, post office, pharmacies, bank, bars and pizzeria/restaurant.
