Wunderbarer Wanderurlaub in geräumigem Ferienhaus

Wir waren eine größere Gruppe von Wanderbegeisterten und wollten den Parco Nazionale della Majella erkunden. Dafür war dieses sehr geräumige Ferienhaus ideal. Eine große und gut ausgestattete Wohnküche, zwei Wohnzimmer, eine schöne Terrasse sowie die vier Badezimmer haben dafür gesorgt, dass wir selbst zu neunt noch bequem im Haus unterkommen konnten. Der Blick von der Terrasse: spektakulär! Das Haus ist ein perfekter Ausgangspunkt für viele atemberaubende Wanderungen im Nationalpark. Auch das Meer ist sehr schnell zu erreichen. Lebensmittelladen, Bar, Tanksäule und Restaurants erreicht man innerhalb von 5 Minuten mit dem Auto. Gerne kommen wir nächstes Jahr wieder!

Esperienza nella natura

La struttura è estremamente comoda immersa nella natura in una zona silenziosa e poco frequentata. Adatta a gruppi fino a 9 persone che possono soggiornare comodamente con una buona privacy. Zona esterna ampia per fare colazione e per i pasti principali. Abbiamo usufruito della piscina che sebbene di dimensioni ridotte è una ottima cosa sopratutto in periodi molto caldi come quelli durante il nostro soggiorno. Attenzione che ci sono parecchie scale sopratutto se ci sono persone anziane o con handicap. Disponibilità di parcheggio per più di una autovettura. La dislocazione è mediamente a circa 1 ora di distanza in auto da molte delle attrazioni dell'Abruzzo

Family Fun

We were in the area for an annual reunion - back to Palombaro to celebrate the Festa in the village of our father's birth. The house is lovely - well stocked and maintained. The view is perfect and the location convenient. We enjoyed the pool and dining on the beautiful terrace.

Well situated family house with stunnung views

A group of us, numbering from 6 to 10, mostly adults, stayed in this house last summer. Our interests are hill walking, plenty of that in the local mountains, architecture, lots of local towns to visit, all within an hour's drive, and sampling local restaurants, and occasional visits to the seaside, an hour or so away. The house was well suited to our needs and the swimming pool was an added bonus for us. The little hamlet of Limiti provided two festivals in the space of two weeks. Maria's, the bar, grocers and petrol station was the social centre of the neighbourhood and she was a great help to us during our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Ed Groombridge

About Ed and Carole:
We live in Ascot, Berkshire, with our two young children. Ed is a Regional Manager for a teaching recruitment company and Carole is a freelance Marketing Manager currently studying Interior Design as well (not to mention managing the kids!).
We loved travelling before we had the kids and enjoyed some pretty luxurious holidays in India, China, Mexico, Egypt and many European cities, to name but a few. Holidays these days are about relaxing as a family, de-stressing from our incredibly busy lives, eating well and getting some sunshine.

Why they chose this property

We bought the house in 2006 when we fell in love with Abruzzo the minute we landed! The pace of life is slow in the extreme and every time we visit we feel the stress of our busy UK lives falling away within about 10 minutes of driving down a mostly deserted motorway, tracking the coast line and taking us through the most amazing views of olives, vines and mountains.

We love the complete down to earthness of the local people, the amazing locally-grown food, house wine that's cheaper than bottled water and the amazing welcome we get as a whole family.

Pretty remote, you need a car and a good map (or sat nav!) to get around, but it really is worth it. The scenery is amazing, the beaches stunning, the villages unchanged for decades. This is a true rural Italian retreat.

What makes this property unique

The views, relaxing in the pool looking at the mountains which are sometimes snow capped. The pace of life and the rugged beautiful countryside. A short drive from endless beaches and mountain walking and biking on the summer and skiing in the winter. A total break from city life
