We had an absolutely amazing stay in Casa Trastulli. Everybody involved with running the Villa were fabulous, friendly, always there to help and Tony the owner came back to any questions I had straight away. We stayed as two families with 5 teenagers. They loved having the top floor to themselves. I loved the ensuites and the outside and the views were just breathtaking. The pool was used all the time and everything was thought through and catered for and the villa was comfy and in immaculate condition. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone and we will definitely return. The town was full of very friendly people and we made some lovely friends - a huge thank you for some very happy memories to Tony and his team xxxx

This house was amazing. It was spacious, clean and well-equipped with a fabulous pool, a lovely garden and near to amenities (but felt very private).The owner Tony and his local representative Antonio could not have been more helpful in making sure we had everything we needed and making suggestions about things to do or where to eat etc.I really couldn't fault it - we had a brilliant holiday there and there is so much to do in the local area, we will have to come back!

A great stay!

We had a fabulous 2 weeks at the villa. We enjoyed lazy days by the pool during the hot daytimes. The Villa is well situated for visiting typical Abruzzo villages and the Trabocchi coast. The villa has everything you need for your holiday and was ample big enough for 6 adults and 3 children. The sunsets from the balcony were beautiful! Having aircon in the bedrooms was such a great addition during the hot evenings. Tony’s instructions and communication throughout the whole process was fantastic, so helpful! Antonio checked in on us and made sure we had all that we needed. Tina, the cleaner, gave us lots of recommendations for places to visit and places to eat! Would highly recommend this villa if you’re after a real piece of Abruzzo in the countryside.

Perfetta casa nelle colline Abruzzesi. Bei spazi molto confortevole con tutti gli optional ad esempio due griglie una a gas e una a carbonella in pietra. Centrale a breve distanza dalla Maiella ma anche dalla costa dei Trabocchi. Bella esperienza peccato che siamo stati una sola settimana

Family get together and friends wedding

House clean, mosquito window nets broken upstairs, window security upstairs for children?, top floor bathroom window broken, outside patio needed good sweep as waterbomb balloons scattered about as they were on balcony. Mop not functional, bbq not useable(dirty) although brick/charcoal bbq excellent and one lounger broken, although promptly replaced. Could do with house name on house as road name not on all satnavs. Despite minor comments above a brilliant holiday enjoyed by all with good facilities, private/secluded good security, accommodation,pool, Castel Frentano has all you need but Conad supermarket not far away in Lanciano and the jewel in the crown Antonio ( local knowledge advice and his cooking)

Lovely stay in a 3 level house with nice garden and great pool. Fully equipped house with fantastic kitchen. Excellent contacts with owner Tony ( his guide about the house and the region is the best I have ever seen) and with local contact Antonio who is the Italian hospitality in person. The location of the house is great, halfway beach and mountains, and close to the city of Lanciano. Recommended!

Ideaal vakantiehuis voor 2 gezinnen

Verscholen tussen de bergen en het strand ligt dit mooie vakantiehuis in de regio Abruzzo. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien en biedt voldoende plaats voor 2 gezinnen met kinderen. De sleutelhouder is zeer attent en zorgt ervoor dat het de gasten aan niets ontbreekt. Het huis is sfeervol ingericht en beschikt over een afgesloten tuin met veel privacy. Castel Frentano ligt ideaal als uitgangspunt om de Abruzzo te verkennen, Lanciano is als stad dichtbij met ruime voorzieningen om te winkelen en boodschappen te doen. Het contact met de eigenaar verloopt perfect, hij verstrekt veel en goede informatie over het huis en de omgeving.

Perfekter Familienurlaub

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen und erholsamen Urlaub in Castel Frentano. Das Haus war sauber und alles hat reibungslos funktioniert. Es ist alles Vorhanden um sich selber zu versorgen. Wir haben jeden Abend für uns gekocht und die Zeit zusammen genossen. Der einzige Nachteil waren die Mücken. Aber das tat unserer Stimmung keinen Abbruch. Der Pool und der Garten sind sehr sauber und gepflegt. Und ideal für Familien mit Kindern. Da wir zwei kleine Kinder dabei hatten waren wir nicht auf großer Erkundungstour jedoch ist das Dorf und das Meer (Casalbordino, ca. 30 Km vom Haus entfernt, in Richtung Vasto) sehr schön. Es gibt auch ein Einkaufszentrum in Lanciano( ca. 8 km von Castel Frentano entfernt) das haben wir genutzt als es schlecht Wetter war. Der Kontakt lief immer Reibungslos ab. Alle haben sich bemüht dass alles für uns gepasst hat. Allen voran der Abend an dem Antonio für uns gekocht hat. Nehmt das Angebot an, ihr werdet es nicht bereuen. Er hat uns auch zur Seite gestanden wenn wir etwas gebraucht haben oder fragen hatten. Wir kommen gerne wieder. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Authentic italy

We had a fantastic stay in castel frentano. The house pool and outdoor spaces were fantastic and it was a nice walk into town. The view from the upstairs balcony was amazing and Antonio was very helpful. We loved the amazing villages of Abruzzo and the fact that it wasn’t over run with tourists. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a lovely week.

Great family venue

Stayed this summer with my sister, two families consisting of 4 adults and 6 children aged between 16 and 7 and the house accomodated us easily. The property was spacious and clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Highlight of the holiday was the pool which was in almost constant use hosting many games of water polo and the likes, very good for the younger children who were not strong swimmers as they could still take part in the shallower end of the pool. We were blessed with incredible weather and were very thankful of the air con! Most of our time was spent poolside but we also ventured to the beach Casalbordino, on the first visit the sea was calm, warm and clear and we spent hours in the water swimming and around the rocks watching small fish, the second visit found the sea much rougher and we all had fun in the waves. Local Oasi supermarket in Lanciano was great for supplies and gelato, the staff were very friendly and spoke fantastic English. We stumbled across a local festival in Pretoro in which the hill top village is lit up at night and street food and goods are sold along the winding roads which twist up through the town, it was a very honest look at modern Italy celebrating its old traditions, Thoroughly enjoyed out trip.

Holiday home Casa Trastulli in Castel Frentano

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Trastulli in Castel Frentano. The property is a lovely spacious house with two bedrooms on both second and third floors; a cosy lounge, dinning room and well equipped kitchen on the ground floor. Possibly better equipped that most properties we have stayed in France, Spain and Portugal before. We made good use of the kitchen and the BBQ outside in the lovely enclosed garden. A welcome pack was left for us on arrival, which was much appreciated as it was evening when we arrived. Antonio, the Property Manager was on hand to check we were okay and helped us very quickly to address any issues. We had some problems with our shower overheating and he got that sorted out really quickly. He also helps ups find a really good local winery (which we went back to twice!) and even cut my daughter's hair for us (he is also the local barber)! Highly recommend asking him to cook for you, as his 5 course meal was delicious. The village is only a 15 minute walk and you can find most things there. We ate the most wonderful ice cream in the local Galateria. Be warned huge portions, but highly recommend. The bakery sold wonderful fruit filled croissants and be sure to try the local Bocconotti Montoriesi pastries. There is lots to do from visiting the wonderful sandy beaches, to going to the Majella National Park to tasting the excellent Abruzzo cuisine and local wine. The list is endless. We loved the Abruzzo region. We will definitely be coming back again.

Fantastic house in a fantastic relaxing environment

We were two families with four adults and four children betweeen 6-9 years old. Had a fantastic time at the house, it never felt small, all necessary equipment is there, and it has a very nice standard to it. The knifes in the kitchen would need some sharpening though :) We enjoyed every moment of the house, the soroundings and the pool of course. Under one hour drive takes you to really nice beaches and mountains. You can do running from the house down in the valleys between all the grape plantations. Stunning views. Would love to come back again.

A beautiful and well equipped house in Abruzzo

We all (seven persons) had a really nice week in Casa Trastulli in the village Castel Frentano. The house was so nice with its four bedrooms with great views, three bathrooms and the well equipped kitchen and dining-room The garden and the swimminpool were perfekt for us. We spent most of the evenings at the house looking at the sunset and often had our dinner at the terrace or the balcony. All of us liked Castel Frentano. We went to the beaches and the small villages by the sea almost every day (about half an hour to drive). We also made a trip to the mountains (Passo Lanciano) and to the beautiful old towns Guardiagrele and Lanciano. We had a lot of help of the notes, books and maps left in the house. Thanks to Tony and family!

THE ESSENCE OF ITALY

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this beautiful, but less familiar corner of Italy. The villa is perfectly clean, spacious, well appointed and cared for by the helpful Antonio who, as a lifelong village resident, is also a mine of local information. It's a converted old house, so has distinctive character but has been completely refurbished with a nice spacious modern kitchen/dining area - ideal for family meals. The location on the outskirts of Castle Frentano is perfect, just 20 minutes or so to the coast and some lovely beaches, coves, gelateria and fish restaurants and a similar distance to the mountains with extensive opportunities for trekking, mountain biking and so on. But if you prefer to relax and enjoy rural Italian life with great local wines and farm produce you would struggle to find a more authentic place. There is a brilliant Conad supermarket just 10 minutes away in Lanciano with everything from electrical goods to an unexpected sushi bar (!) but we shopped mostly in Castel Frentano itself, experiencing the delights of the grocery store, the baker on the main street (delicious pizza slices for a picnic) and Antonio the butcher's. And don't forget to try the local sweet cake delicacies - Bocconotto, fantastico! We only had a few days to explore, but there is so much to see in the local area - from picture perfect hilltop medieval towns to immaculate war graves, endless beaches and rugged mountains. This is Italy, unmistakable, timeless, beautiful, hospitable.

A wonderful taste of Italian life

Our stay gave us a wonderful taste of Italian life and a chance to truly unwind. The villa was clean, comfortable and authentically furnished with all the home comforts. With only three people we were spoilt for space and so this house would be ideal for larger groups and families too. Outside you have a large terrace with a striking view over to the small village of Castel Frentano, just a short walk away, and the perfect place to enjoy breakfast in the sun or the local vino in the evenings. We spent most of our time outside making use of the large garden, pool and a BBQ. The owners have clearly spent a lot of time in the area and surrounding villages as they passed on a wealth of local knowledge. With their recommendations we found some real gems, particularly the seafood restaurants that are less than 20 minutes away. The local host Antonio met us with a warm welcome and Italian hamper, and was eager to go the extra mile for anything we needed. But the slower pace of Italian life suited us fine. Make sure you try the Bocconotto pastries in the local bakery Bottega, they're famous for a reason! Overall our stay was enjoyable and hassle-free, and we would highly recommend to others visiting the Adriatic coast. We just wished we'd had longer!

Large Comfortable Villa with Superb views

We stayed here for a week in September. The villa is huge and sleeps up to ten. It is well equipped and comfortable. The view from the upper terrace towards Castel Frentano is superb, particularly at night. Castel Frentano itself is disappointing as it is very run down and neglected and without much in the way of restaurants. Nearby Lanciano however is a delight, particularly at night. A little further away Guardiagrele is another delightful hill town and both of these towns have good restaurants. The reason for the poor rating is that the swimming pool is not fit for purpose. It is only 8 metres long. We knew that but what I could not have guessed it that it is a paddling pool with a deep end! The shallow end of about one third the total length is barely two feet deep. Any attempt to swim a length will give you grazed knees, arms and feet! It is OK for kids to paddle in but even for them it would be much safer without the seven foot deep, deep end. The villa is on what seems like a quiet road during the day but there is a rush hour every morning at 5.00 am until 7.00 am. OK I guess if you use the air-con or open windows on the garden side. Unfortunately the alarm system which the owner recommends being on at night includes the garden side upstairs windows. We had a problem with a very noisy pool pump but to be fair the owner got that fixed immediately and we were able to enjoy the peace of the garden again. Last thought is general to the area. It is real, traditional Italy with very pretty hilltop towns and amazingly good restaurants. Be aware that in September many of these restaurants shut unpredictably and we spent many hours searching the internet for a restaurant we could book each night. Very often these were a long drive away down the appallingly broken local roads. Even finding the restaurants was difficult as sat-nav and phone maps sometime failed to get us there. When you are right outside it may still be difficult to find because, in the old towns, many restaurants have just a single door onto the street. It is usually well worth the effort though as the food is amazing. The flip side to this is that there are miles and miles of pristine, empty beaches in September because the lidos just pack up and take away almost all of the umbrellas and sun loungers - Heaven!

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Tony

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
Tony is a mid 50s retired sales director from Chester UK. Lynne is an interior designer with her own business. We bought the house in 2004 and spent 18 months doing it up. We are married with two young daughters, now at university, Kate aged 24 and Megan aged 22.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

We wanted to buy a house in an undiscovered part of Italy & Abruzzo really fitted the bill. You can literally go 2 weeks without hearing anyone else speaking English. The scenery is just fantastic, not quite as rolling as Tuscany, but all the bright colours you expect of Italy in summer. The beaches are some of the best in Italy (Rough guide 2013) & having travelled to many different areas in Italy since buying the house, we always think that Abruzzo is just the best all round.
Having the mountains 30 minutes one way and the coast 20 minutes the other is what we always wanted & we've got it. Siamo molto fortunati!

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

Every year we discover a little bit more as the girls get older. Their current favourites are Aqualand at Vasto, snorkeling at La Foce and Go Ape! at Bocca di vallee.
Me, I prefer cooking a meal and getting a few local friends round for a couple beers, tasting a few Jamie Oliver dishes and singing along to a few tunes...
