Abruzzo, Pescara, Abbateggio, Italy

In the heart of Abbateggio—celebrated as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in Italy" and known as the "Little Pearl of the Majella"- lies this stunning home. It is a perfect example of architectural restoration where the charm of local stone takes centre stage. The property, which has been completely and tastefully renovated, stands out for its striking exposed stone details that embellish both the exterior and interior, creating a warm, authentic, and timeless atmosphere.

The layout is divided into two independent apartments, making it a versatile solution for a family or for those wishing to start a charming boutique hospitality business. On the ground floor, you are welcomed by a bright living area with a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable double bedroom, and a modern bathroom with a shower.

Ascending to the first floor, there is a second apartment featuring a cosy sitting room with a kitchen, a spacious double bedroom, and a bathroom that preserves original historic details. While every window in the house frames breathtaking glimpses, the true treasure is found on the second floor: a panoramic terrace of 43 sqm offering a 360-degree view.

From here, at a single glance, you can admire the majestic peaks of the Majella and Morrone mountains, the blue silhouette of the Adriatic Sea, and the white stone rooftops of the village.

Abbateggio is an oasis of tranquility where you can rediscover the slow pace of the past. Although the village offers priceless peace, all essential services such as banks, post offices, and supermarkets are just a 5-minute drive away in the nearby centre of San Valentino in Abruzzo Citeriore.

ABBATEGGIO - PESCARA PROVINCE

A small town of 392 inhabitants, located in the National Park to the north of the Majella mountains.  It is 450 metres above sea level and offers panoramas from the Gran Sasso massif to the Adriatic Sea. It also has the prestigious title of ‘I Borghi più belli d-Italia- - The beautiful boroughs of Italy.

The first documents, relating to the existence of a settlement, date back to the 9^th century and the relaxing town is characterised by enchanting narrow lanes and stone houses. The nearby Giumentina valley, which was inhabited during the Palaeolithic Age, is one of the most important archaeological sites in Abruzzo.  It is also dotted with the peculiar ‘tholoi- or stone huts, which were used by shepherds for shelter, whilst tending their sheep.

Abbateggio is famed for spelt production and there is a festival, each August, to celebrate this locally grown grain.  Olives, vines and fruit trees are also cultivated, and both cheese and honey are a speciality. The town even has a delightful shop dedicated to selling cheeses from the local neighbourhood.

The surrounding area offers lots of outdoor activities including hiking, cycling, climbing, horse riding, skiing, and bird watching.
