Im Paradies angekommen
Es war einfach traumhaft, die Wohnung, die Aussicht, die Ruhe, der Pool, die Gastgeber….Die Casa della Zia liegt sehr abgelegen, aber es gibt einen kleinen Lebensmittelladen in der Nähe mit allem, was man braucht. Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen, vor allen Dingen die Abende auf der Terrasse. Wenn wir nochmal in die Abruzzen fahren, dann auf jeden Fall zu Peter und Julie.

Perfetto! Super holiday!
Jools and Pete are true super-hosts! Warm and welcoming; kind and genuine. Casa del Zia is as described and the photos a true reflection. This lovely couple go above and beyond- they met us at the airport and we followed them to the villa in our hire car. They purchased an air conditioning unit to make us more comfortable in the heatwave. They are knowledgeable about the local area and have many recommendations to make..restaurants, beaches, gelaterias and activities. We have numerous holiday highlights, but one was going for Sunday lunch at the local agriturismo. A perfect way to immerse in Italian family culture. The facilities at the villa are superb and the pool is a real luxury treat! Thank you to you bothJools and Pete.

Perfect stay at great hosts!
We stayed four days at Casa Della Zia and we really enjoyed the cosy and clean villa. There is a fully equipped kitchen in which we could make some great Italian lunches and dinners to enjoy at our perfect private roof terrace with stunning views. The swimming pool is lovely and to be used privately as well. The hosts are lovely and extremely hospitable, they're really welcoming and make sure that everything you want or need is covered: they drove us to a lunch and a winetasting, that they arranged for us, because there was alcohol involved, and Julie also went to the pharmacy and hospital with us to help us there since we don't speak Italian. Such great helpfulness and so friendly, great people to be surrounded by and have .

Wunderbare Tage in einer traumhaften Umgebung!
Es gibt keine aufmerksameren Gastgeber! Auch sie machten den Aufenthalt zu einem einmaligen Erlebnis in einer weitgehend ursprünglichen Umgebung! Ruhe und Entspannung sind garantiert, im Pool zu schwimmen mit einem atemberaubenden Panorama ist ein unvergesslicher Eindruck.

About the host

Hosted by Jools Thorpe

Host profile image
We fell in love with Abruzzo on our first ever visit and our dream was to live here some day. Life made us reflect on it's uncertainty and we decided to follow our dream of living here sooner rather than later. Providence enabled us to do this in 2014. Julie is an early retiree from the NHS and Pete used to be a senior manager in the Insurance sector. We have 2 friendly dogs who love having visitors - Just don't let them con you into thinking they need feeding every time they see you!

Why they chose this property

We wanted somewhere we could make our own and which would provide us with our home plus a holiday property. In selecting the property we asked ourselves what we would want a holiday villa to be. The abandoned villa that would be totally renovated to become Casa della Zia ticked all the boxes and more.
We both loved the location - the views are stunning and the community is warm and welcoming.
As a towny Jools can't get over the variety of the wildlife she has seen just in our olive grove - wild boar, badgers, foxes, deer, a little owl and a Kite (the avian variety that is!).

What makes this property unique

Abruzzo is something of an undiscovered gem.
The people here are strong and kind and welcomed us unconditionally. The sense of community is fantastic and has reminded us what we had lost back in the UK.
The fact that we are 40 mins away from the Mountain top and ski resorts in one direction and 30 minutes from the sea in the other direction offers so many possibilities of things to do with your day. However it is very tempting just to relax and enjoy the immediate area.
The fabulous weather, food and wine was another reason to come!
