Abruzzo, Pescara, Penne, Italy

In the heart of the historic centre of Penne, within a prestigious and historically significant building, lies a truly unique property offering space, character, panoramic views, and an exceptional level of privacy.

Located on the top floors of the building, this remarkable residence is distinguished by its generous proportions and the timeless elegance of its historic setting.

Access to the property is an experience in itself. A beautifully maintained communal courtyard welcomes you on arrival, leading to a magnificent period staircase that perfectly reflects the architectural character and prestige of the building.

The property is arranged over two distinct internal levels, offering exceptional flexibility for both private living and investment.

THE PENTHOUSE — 4th Floor.

Approximately 25 sq m and is ready to move into. At the uppermost level, is a charming and completely self-contained studio apartment providing an intimate private retreat. The space includes a kitchenette and bathroom, making it immediately suitable for use as a guest apartment, private study, pied-à-terre, or independent accommodation.

The true highlight of this level is the magnificent 15 sq m covered loggia (altana).

Suspended above the historic rooftops, this exclusive outdoor space offers breathtaking panoramic views across the medieval village of Penne and the surrounding Abruzzo hills. A rare and atmospheric setting for enjoying breakfast, reading, entertaining, or simply relaxing while taking in the landscape.

THE LOWER FLOOR

Approximately 190 sq m which is to be customised. Below the penthouse lies approximately 190 sq m of unfinished interior space, providing an exceptional blank canvas for a bespoke renovation. The generous dimensions and flexible layout allow the future owner to create a residence entirely tailored to their lifestyle and vision.

One possible configuration could include:

• A spectacular triple living room
• Large eat-in kitchen
• 3 or 4 bedrooms
• Multiple bathrooms
• Additional spaces for dressing rooms, offices, storage, or other uses.

Alternatively, the floor could be divided into several independent units, making the property particularly interesting as an investment or hospitality opportunity.

An important advantage of this property is that the building has recently benefited from major and extensive structural consolidation works.

The works included the complete renovation of the roof and the building façades, providing an important foundation for the property-s future transformation.

Properties combining historic architecture, generous interior dimensions, privacy, panoramic views, and renovation potential are exceptionally rare. This residence offers the opportunity to create something truly personal within one of Penne-s historic buildings — whether as an impressive private home, an exclusive guest residence, or a multi-unit investment. Above all, the property combines the charm of Abruzzo-s medieval heritage with the freedom to design a contemporary living environment entirely according to your own vision.

PENNE - PESCARA PROVINCE

Penne is a beautiful hilltop town which is popular with both overseas home buyers and visitors to Abruzzo.  It has shops, banks, restaurants, cafés and bars as well as historical buildings.  As you stroll around the town you will see fascinating lanes, characterised by ancient houses and churches, almost entirely made of bricks. This makes Penne one of the most historically significant towns of the area.  It also affords breathtaking views to the mountains.

August is festival time in Penne when the streets are filled with stalls selling arts, crafts and culinary delights.  Not to be missed.
