Abruzzo, Pescara, Manoppello, Italy

Fully restored stone house with outbuilding surrounded by two and a half hectares of land. Located a few hundred metres from a stream and about two kilometres from the hilltop town of Manoppello.

This charming two bedroom house was meticulously renovated about 15 years ago keeping the traditional stone walls and arches.

The ventilated wooden roof and thermal insulation expose the wooden beams, while the original terracotta tiles preserve the original style of early 20th-century country houses.

The vaulted ceilings expose the original sandblasted bricks, and the plaster has been removed from the walls to reveal the stonework.

On the GROUND FLOOR there is double access to the house: from the living room and from the kitchen; a large kitchen, a utility room, a living room with fireplace and wood-burning stove.

A convenient internal staircase leads to the FIRST FLOOR with two double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower.

The property is completed by an outbuilding which is currently used as a tool shed but could be converted into a hobby room.

All windows have double glazing, solid wood frames and shutters, and mosquito nets. On one side of the house, a large porch gives an additional living space.

The house can be reached via a paved municipal road and a gate gives access to the property.

MANOPPELLO - PESCARA PROVINCE

Manoppello is a beautiful, small town, located on the top of a hill. It is 257 metres above sea level and affords panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Inhabited since pre-roman times, it now attracts both pilgrims and art lovers alike. There are many 18-19^th century civic buildings and churches, constructed and characterised with ‘pietra di Manoppello-, the renowned local stone. The town is probably most famous for its Holy Relic, a piece of cloth which supposedly bears an image of Christ-s face. It is kept in the Santuario del Volto Santo.

Manoppello has a range of facilities including a mini-market, bakery, pharmacy and post office. There are also bars and restaurants serving local delicacies.

It is an ideal base for those wishing to enjoy outdoor life and participate in open-air activities. The Maiella National Park is close by, providing many exciting adventures together with winter sports at the ski resort of Passo Lanciano.
