Casa Alba is our newly renovated farmhouse overlooking the hills towards Atri and the sea. If you are looking for a very spacious and well appointed house to relax and explore the real Abruzzo then this is the place for you. The upstairs accommodation comprises 4 large bedrooms (3 ensuite) and a family bathroom. Downstairs there are 2 more separate bedrooms (no need to walk through one to get to the other), a large bathroom with huge bath and very spacious shower. On the ground floor there is also a utility with washing machine, drinks fridge and commercial quality sink; a cosy sitting room with woodburner and large TV; and a spacious open-plan kitchen diner (10 metres or 32 feet long) with American style fridge, dishwasher and long dining table. Outside there are a choice of 4 terraces (large and small) for you to find a spot in the sun (or shade) to relax. The two larger terraces are securely fenced to provide peace of mind to those playing outside with children. The pool is accessed via a gate just next to the main terrace. The closest beach is half an hour away at Pineto. Pineto is (arguably) the nicest stretch of coastline in Abruzzo, as the road is diverted away from the beach and there is a grove of pine trees alongside a pedestrianised walkway following the coast. Mountain walking is within easy reach, approximately one hour away at the ski resort, Prati di Tivo, or Campo Imperatore and other areas. There are 3 golf courses within an hours drive of Casa Alba - The Abruzzo Golf Club, Miglianico Golf and San Donato Golf. Ideal for walking. There are many local, authentic Abruzzese restaurants in the region where you can practice your Italian and eat like a king. Casa Alba is well situated for day skiing at several skiing resorts, including Roccarasa and Prati di Tivo.
