La Foschia d`Estate is a villa set on a hill in an olive grove with an olive tree- lined private drive, which has been extensively restored and divided into two separate apartments. The first floor is very occasionally lived in by the owner.
The ground floor is offered for rental on a weekly basis, and could comfortably sleep up to 8 people. Perfect for a family or two , in 2 double rooms and one 3 bedded room, with the option of a sofa bed in the dining room for an 8th person.One bathroom ( shower and toilet) is shared between a double and triple room, the other is for the master bedroom.A separate utility room also has a toilet.There are dining and sitting areas and spacious fully-equipped kitchen with electric oven, gas hob and large family- sized fridge .There is plenty of outside dining space under the loggias and a very large lawned oleander- hedged garden with olive trees for shade , surrounded by agricultural land.
The property has spectacular magical views over the Abruzzo countryside, of the mountains to the west, and of the sea to the east. It is set in a completely rural very private and secluded environment, although at the bottom of the drive in the centre of the tiny hamlet is a very small shop, bar and restaurant that serves arrosticini (a type of kebab) only: a speciality of this part of Italy.
Atri is the nearest ancient town at about 10 minutes drive away, which has all the usual amenities of theatre, old churches, restaurants, supermarkets and banks and even a lively local market once/week..It is famous for the frescoes in its cathedral.
The nearest beach is Pineto,16km away, about a 20 minute drive. It is a sandy beach, and extends for miles to both north and south. Much of the beach has bars, and it is possible to rent sunloungers and parasols by the day or the week. A large section of beach is unmanaged, and shade can be sought under a canopy of pine trees.
