Edge of Nature Reserve; a/c 5* views. Great peace & privacy. Mountains & Sea.

This is a very special property with air-conditioning, featured in the TV programme "A Place in the Sun". It is a recently restored and externally insulated traditional house, standing in its own private grounds of 3.5 acres including a wonderful 1.2 acre olive grove.
One guest review says, "The most peaceful place we have ever been".

Both house and olive grove view directly on to the Gran Sasso massif rising to just short of 3000m. Although extremely private, lying along a track of around 800m, it is only 3-4 minutes from the ancient pre-Roman town of Atri that has a Cathedral, several magnificent churches, a theatre, an archaeological museum and many cafes, trattorie and restaurants. It is only 10 -15 minutes from the pine-shaded beach at Pineto. At the same time it is just 45 minutes from Castelli and the National Parks around the Gran Sasso that have wonderful summer walking. So you can choose both. A great advantage in the summer is that we are at 400m altitude. So after the heat of the beach, you can return home quickly in the evening, and enjoy the fresh air much better than is possible close to the sea. Sleeping is easy here - especially with the modern air conditioning.
