About this property

Stunning villa with private pool in peaceful olive grove

Casa Toti was completed in October 2011. It is a new build but built in the Abruzzeze style in old Maiella stone. Inside and out are beautiful arches and stunning use of stone. The ground floor has vaulted ceilings and the entire house has terracotta tiles with marble detailing. Beneath the traditional features is a totally up to date house with underfloor heating, central cooling system, photovoltaic energy panels and every mod con! A large hall leads into the kitchen/dining room and then into the sitting room. Both have French windows onto the shaded veranda with a large table for outside dining and a comfortable sofa and armchairs from which to soak up the view.
There is 1 bedroom downstairs, with French doors onto the veranda, with an en suite shower room suitable for the elderly or guests with mobility problems.
There are 3BR on the 1st floor, 1 with a balcony, and the 5th bedroom is in the tower, also with its own balcony. All bedrooms have en suite shower rooms and lovely view.


Outside areas: The swimming pool (open May to end of October) has Roman steps and is 14m x 6m with a diving board. It has stunning views to the mountains and is surrounded by a terrace area with plenty of loungers. The veranda has everything for summer, outdoor living and has steps down leading to the pool area. Bedroom 1 leads out onto the veranda and bedrooms 2 and 5 have balconies with table and chairs facing the mountains. The house is set in an olive grove of approximately 120 old olive trees.

Beautiful Villa with Spectacular views
Casa Toti is the perfect place for a family vacation. Located away from the crowded tourist attractions, it is the perfect spot to experience the beauty, tranquility and friendly people of Abruzzi. It is also a beautiful place to just stay put and relax by the pool. Accommodations were spacious, comfortable and clean. Everywhere you turned was another breathtaking view. We were a large group with ages ranging from 3 to 83 years of age. Everyone was pleased with the accommodations and amenities. There were absolutely no complaints during our entire 5-week stay. The property is well maintained by Luigi and Gabriella. We looked forward to friendly conversations with Luigi each day in Italian and English with the help of google. Plenty of helpful local information was provided in a Welcome Book by Jane who was always available and responsive to our questions and need for assistance. The surrounding Abruzzo area is beautiful, with mountains ,beaches and the villages of Penne, Elice, Castiliente and Citta Sant Angelo close by. The restaurant at the bottom of the hill is a big plus and the food is excellent. We totally enjoyed the Abruzzi experience and highly recommend Casa Toti without hesitation. You do need to rent or hire a car at this location.

Absolutely Perfect!
We were a group of 9 adults and absolutely loved our stay in Casa Toti. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need, the pool is not heated but it was warm enough and cleaned every morning by Luigi or his wife. The views are stunning and pictures do not do it justice. Communication with Jane was super easy. The only downside: mosquitoes! Definitely bring bug spray if you plan to spend some time outside.

A taste of heaven.
One cannot describe the experience of arriving at this magical setting. The house itself is beautifully appointed; but the location, the view, and the maintenance of the grounds and pool are stunning. Perfection would have be achieved if only the kitchen had been somewhat cleaner and the sofa upholstery freshened.

Perfect!
Casa Toti provided the backdrop to a once in a lifetime vacation. It was an absolute pleasure to stay in such a beautiful yet laid back home for a week. All systems worked as advertised, the kitchen was well appointed, and the pool was very clean and inviting. The surrounding area of Abruzzo is beautiful, with both mountains and sea close by. We wpuld recommend this villa without hesitation.

About the host

Hosted by Jane Young

Host profile image
When I'm not at Casa Toti in stunning Abruzzo, I live in Salisbury, UK and co own a shop in Stockbridge selling Italian shoes and accessories - property and shoes being 2 of my passions! I used to be a music teacher which combined my other 2 passions - teaching and music. With 3 children - who have left home and are scattered across the globe, life is busy.

Why they chose this property

Casa Toti was a new build. I bought a beautiful flat olive grove and spent months planning the position of the house as well as the design of the house with lots of input from a great friend and of course a fantastic local surveyor. The views are stunning all year round.

What makes this property unique

Because it was a new build we could aim to be as energy efficient as possible. The central underfloor cooling system is a fantastic alternative to air conditioning, keeping the house at a constant ambient temperature in the heat of the summer months.
