About the host
Hosted by Jacquie Rood
Yours host Jacquie looks forward to welcoming you to her home and introducing you to the comforts of the lovely new apartment.
Originally from England I spent 14 years living in Alberta, Canada in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Now my home is in Rapino, a rural and traditional town perfectly situated between the mountains and the Adriatic sea.
Jacquie has worked in the hospitality industry for many years and for the past few years has been involved in the wine business. After years in high quality hotels your comfort at the Majella Garden is her priority. She is also happy to discuss the wines available locally.

Why they chose this property
After looking and exploring all the regions of Italy I found myself drawn to the central area of Abruzzo. Researching the lifestyles, climate and location to the sea and the mountains Rapino was an easy choice. I enjoy winter and summer activities and therefore being so close to Mamma Rosa and Passo Lanciano skiing and snowboarding is a simple day trip. The lovely beaches along the Adriatic coastline provides me with summer leisure of which I hope to share with my guests.
The property is quite different for a mountain village, I am fortunate to have a fairly flat 'lot' therefore the garden has plenty of room for us to develop plants, vegetables, trees and there still be space to lounge under the walnut trees!
My home consists of a 2 storey house, just the right amount of space for myself and visiting family and friends. Attached at the rear of the house is the brand new self contained holiday apartment. Developed from scratch, no expense has been spared with the interior furnishings and decor.
The moment I entered the house I knew I had found the exact property for my future plans.

What makes this property unique
The roof top terrace has great south facing views of the Majella Mountains and in particular Mamma Rosa. The terrace has been refurbished with lovely Italian tiles and hand crafted iron railings with stairs leading down to the garden giving our guests in the apartment access. It is within easy walking distance of grocery stores, bars and restaurants and there are plenty of walks and cycling opportunities directly from the house, no need to drive anywhere.
The Adriatic coastline is long and has many beaches, some free some having facilities so therefore a daily or weekly rate is charged. The sea is lovely and even early in the season the water is not too cold!
Equally close are the ski areas, Passo Lanciano and Mamma Rosa; on the way you will pass the wolf sanctuary and this is definitely worth a stop.
I do recommend a car unless you are planning your stay in Rapino with no day trips, there are buses but not very frequent and limited destinations.
For my guests staying in the cooler months the apartment has full gas central heating and if the sun is limited and the solar panels are not in full force then there is always hot water available from the mains gas.
