About the host

Hosted by James and Judy

Host profile image
I am English, and I retired young (under 40) and live in Vasto, Abruzzo with my wife Judy. We bought a holiday apartment in 2006 for a holiday home for ourselves, and loved it so much here that within 3 years we had moved here permanently! We then bought our Casa in Piazza in Vasto for rental. We spend most of our time snorkelling or fishing or at our country house in the garden. In the winter, we drive up to the Maiella mountains, just over an hour away and go skiing. We have settled into life in Italy very well, and have befriended many of the locals, which has in turn given us local knowledge and an insider view of Vasto that most visitors or tourists would not experience. We are now happy to pass on our knowledge to our guests. We supply a brochure in all our casa outlining what to see and do in and around Vasto, including recommended restaurants, information on food and wine, transport, maps, parking and much more. We inform all our guests on arrival of any special events taking place in the town during their stay. Please read our great reviews! We have many happy repeat guests!

Why they chose this property

In 2006 we were looking for a holiday home in Italy, and stumbled across the fairly unknown Abruzzo. It's beautiful countryside and lively towns drew us to it along with it's huge sandy sweeping beaches. Vasto is one of the very few Medieval towns that sit along the coastline, close enough to walk to the beach. Most are located in the hills a good drive away from the sea. This is what makes Vasto so special. The town has grown into a sophisticated holiday resort for wealthy Romans, many of whom have a second home here for the summer. The town is still relatively unknown elsewhere, and therefore unspoilt by tourism. If you want a 'real' Italian holiday, then come here not only for the beaches, but the beautiful town itself and all it has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Whilst you might find other properties for rent in Abruzzo, almost all will be located in or near hilltowns a long drive from the coast. In Vasto, we have the best of both worlds, with beautiful scenery, and a town with a sea view and walkable beach. There really is no need for a car here, unlike other hill towns, as everything is right here on your doorstep.

Our Casa in Piazza is on the perfect location within the historical center as it's in a quiet Piazza. but just a minutes walk from the restaurants and the panoramic walkway around the town with views of the Adriatic coastline.
