TRIPADVISOR CERTIFICATE OF EXCELLENCE WINNER 2019 and Travellers Choice Award 2020

COVID-19 After every guest departure the property will be cleaned and fully disinfected for the next arrival. Our guests safety is of prime importance.

'Casa in Piazza' is located in a residential, pedestrian only part of the historical center of Vasto, Abruzzo, Italy. Only a minutes walk from the many bars, restaurants and boutiques and main piazza. It's location is perfect for those wishing to immerse themselves in the local life and colour and experience 'REAL' Italy. The town is situated just above the Adriatic coast in the unspoilt region of Abruzzo. Vasto is easily accessible from Pescara Abruzzo airport in 50 minutes, or Rome in 3 hours by direct air-con coach. The house is within walking distance 15 mins (down steps) of the beach. Vasto marina beach (25 mins walk, or 5 mins by bus/car) has miles of golden sand where you can hire sun beds and umbrellas, motorboats and pedalos. The beach is very wide, sandy and gently shelving.

Please note the perfect location of my property in the historical center of town close to restaurants and cafes NOT the outskirts (where most holiday property is located)

The house has an open plan ground floor. kitchenette with oven, gas hob and fridge with freezer compartment. cool bag and chillers are also supplied. The shuttered front window by the dining table (seats 4) has views out onto sunny piazza. There is a comfortable sofa and a smart TV. We provide a range of holiday reading books, guide books and a large range of DVD's as well as a brochure on the local and surrounding area, with maps and recommendations. Free unlimited Internet.

The marble stairs lead up to the large family bathroom with w.c, bidet, basin and vanity unit with mirror, heated towel rail, radiator and bath with shower over. The high ceiling in the bathroom is full of character with wooden beams. and a window into a cobbled street.

The bedroom also has a high wood beamed ceiling and features a king size bed with side cabinets, lamps, 2 double wardrobes, small table and 2 chairs and French doors leading to a small Juliette balcony with views over the sunny piazza. Air-conditioning is available in the bedroom for a supplement of €7 a day (usually only needed July and August)

Beach towels, beach umbrella, cool bag and chillers are provided.

There is free street car parking 2 mins walk from the apartment or you can park in one of the car parks around the town or multi-story car park all within a few minutes walk of the house. A car is NOT necessary here unless you want to explore further afield.Car hire is available in Vasto.

The tourists here are mainly from Rome, and it is geared very much to the outdoor Italian lifestyle. The town can become lively in the high summer months, where we like a passagiata and to gather in the piazzi or in one of the many bars or cafes. English is not widely spoken but we do provide a phrase book! Vasto is the perfect location for either a beach holiday, or a city break at any time of the year.Sleeps maximum of 2 people.

* Free unlimited Wifi internet is available in the property*

check in is after 15:00 until 20:00 check out before 10:00 Late arrivals after 20:00 may incur an extra fee of 25 euros and are only accepted only by prior arrangement.

Vasto is a charming medieval town and has plenty to offer for a weekend or for a fortnights holiday. Cultural events are put on throughout the year for visitors, most of which are free to attend. Concerts, opera in the palazzo gardens, rock bands, food and wine tasting, film festival and Siren Fest music festival.

Fresh fish and seafood is a Vasto speciality, as is suckling pig (porchetta) Our local wines for fish are Pecorino and Trebbiano and Montepulciano d'Abruzzo for meat. There is a farmers market with local produce and a weekly market on Saturday too.

There are lots of pavement cafes, restaurants, bars, shops, art galleries, museum and castle are all within a couple of hundred yards of our properties. Also a gym, tennis court and running track.

Thank you for this great review! We are so glad that you 'enjoyed everything'! Our casa is located in a quiet piazza only a stones throw from the lively bars and sea front restaurants with beautiful sea views and of course all the historic sights. All of this is detailed in our brochure that we send to every guest, so we are glad you found it all so helpful. Really happy that you found everything you needed in the casa too. We look forward to hosting you again when you return to Vasto! Regards, Judy and James

Response from the owner
Thank you so much for this perfect review! We are so happy that you had such a wonderful time here for your wedding anniversary .Our beautiful beaches here in Vasto have just been awarded the Blue AND Green flags for 2019. I'm glad all your wine from the vineyard trip made it back to the USA in one piece! I think that when you have drunk it, you will just have to return for more. You are right, 4 days is really not enough to make the most of Vasto, there is so much to see and do. Next visit maybe a trip to the Trabocco for lunch, or a day trip to the Tremiti Islands? Hope to see you back again soon, Best wishes, Judy and James

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us this review. We are so happy that you enjoyed your time here in Vasto in our casa in piazza. Our recommended way to get to Vasto from Pescara airport if you don't drive (and don't want the hassle of getting a bus then coach then taxi or the train) is for us to send a car for you, it is super quick and hassle free! :) Glad you enjoyed the vegetarian restaurants here and the seasonal dishes, there is something for everyone in Vasto, (it's not all pizza and pasta here in 'real' Italy!) Hope to see you both again for more adventures in Vasto. Regards, Judy and James
