A Truly Outstanding Experience for our Holiday
Review Submitted: August 19, 2011
Date of Stay: July 2011
On arrival at the villa our first impressions of the villa well exceeded our already very high expectations. David and Pauline greeted us in a most friendly manner and showed us to our villa. The 'guided tour' was professional and yet friendly and as a result we very confidently settled in and unpacked. Within half an hour we were enjoying a glass of Abruzzo vino rosso by the pool and the holiday had started. The villa is extremely well appointed and was finished to the highest standards, including the excellent shower room and mezzanine bedroom, the view from which is outstanding (Our first morning greeted us with a wonderful rosy dawn over the distant mountains).
The terrace is lovely and provided a great place for lunch and eating out at night. We balanced eating in with meals out at some of the lovely ristoranti in the locality. There is really something for every taste and, as the area is not touristically developed, the quality is outstanding and the prices very reasonable (two courses and a litre of vino rosso was approx 30 euros for 2).
David and Pauline offer discrete support in terms of information, directions to places and bookings for restaurants.
The peace and quiet is exquisite and it is possible to while away the hours watching the kites who nest in the nearby trees or the golden eagles that soar high above the ground. The gentle breeze ensures that the temperature does not rise to stifling levels.
The pool is lovely and provides a great opportunity to cool down. Given that there is a maximum of six people around the pool the setting is idyllic.
We have never returned to a place but the fact that we rebooked whilst on our holiday serves as a testament to our views of this fantastic place where the batteries can be fully recharged in this lovely part of this wonderful country.

Owner's Response: Although David's booking for 2012 won't be the first repeat we've had, it's the first time in our short existence that a repeat booking's been made while our guests have actually been relaxing on their sunbeds by the pool enjoying their current Villasfor2 holiday ! Our grateful thanks to David and Lynda for this wonderful compliment and we look forward to seeing them back !
