About this property

Idyllic Villa, with Infinity Pool, 4 air conditioned bedrooms & stunning views.

Nestled atop a picturesque hill, and cooled by summer breezes, our stunning villa overlooks the charming town of Torino di Sangro on the unspoiled Trabocchi coast in Abruzzo. Surrounded by spectacular views of the Majella mountains and the ocean, you'll find the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday.

Our villa allows you to enjoy the local Italian village's charm from a comfortable distance while providing ultimate privacy and relaxation. Swim in the refreshing infinity pool during the day or take a 10-minute drive to one of Italy's cleanest and safest beaches for a wonderful beach experience.

Only recently upgraded, the house now includes a children’s bedroom with four bunks and an additional bathroom/laundry room. We have also installed air conditioning in all the bedrooms and strengthened the management team.

Set within private, gated grounds, our villa features a beautiful garden and several terraces for al fresco dining. Inside, the open plan kitchen, dining space, and comfortable sitting room with large leather sofas offer a cosy space to unwind together.

The ground floor houses two double bedrooms and a bathroom, while upstairs, you'll find the master bedroom and bathroom alongside a minstrel's gallery with a comfortable sofa overlooking the local village. The roof veranda, furnished with a wrought iron table and chairs, sets the perfect stage for evening suppers in the balmy summer air.

For those seeking more energetic activities, a games room provides table football and table tennis matches. This space is also ideal for children, as we offer two sets of bunk beds in the games room for extra sleeping arrangements. A new bathroom is located off the games room, housing a washing machine for your convenience.

Villa Farfalla is designed for guests who appreciate a harmonious and respectful atmosphere, providing the perfect balance of relaxation and enjoyment in the heart of Abruzzo.

Beautiful villa with stunning views
We loved our stay here, the villa is situated in a stunning spot and within an easy drive of Pescara (take the coast road from the airport for a slower journey with lovely views). Everything was well equipped and comfortable. Vivien and Rob were on hand for any queries and very responsive. If you like wildlife you will be in your element as you can sit by the pool bird watching for hours, the view extends all the way to the sea, and there are various walks from the villa as well. We had four adults staying, with plenty of room. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful, restorative stay on a hillside
We loved staying in this property. We had originally intended to just stay a couple of days as a stop over but loved it so much that we drove back over 200 miles to stay there again! The house is comfortable, warm and well equipped. We stayed in January and were very warm and comfortable. The views all around the property are absolutely magnificent. The owner, Viv, is very easy to communicate with and Ana Maria and her husband very helpful and supportive without being at all intrusive. Thanks so much to Viv for a wonderful couple of stays.

Stunning tranquil location
We had a lovely time in Villa Farfalla. The property is very well equipped, our 3 year old especially loved playing with the toys and in the pool. We enjoyed visiting the local village, nearby beaches and relaxing by the pool while taking in the stunning views. Ana Maria and Domenico also provided us with a fabulous seafood dinner. Thanks for your hospitality, Alex.

About the host

Hosted by Vivien Stevens

Host profile image
I am originally from New Zealand, but have spent a great deal of time in the UK. I am married to Rob, who after a long career as a Naval officer, retired and worked in the marine industry. He is now working on a project to bring Tidal energy to the Isle of Wight. We have two lovely children who are both married to delightful people. We have four gorgeous grandchildren who all adore coming to stay in Villa Farfalla. Our summer holidays are now spent at the house with the grandchildren in and out of the pool. The children's bedroom come games room is ideal for them to play and sleep in.

Why they chose this property

Having spent 4 years living in Naples, we fell in love with everything Italian and couldn't resist buying our wonderful villa. We chose Abruzzo as we loved the idea of owning a house by the sea and near the ski slopes. The region is unspoilt by tourism so you will have a truly Italian experience. There are wonderful vineyards nearby and the local produce stalls groan with fresh vegetables and fruit in the summer months.

What makes this property unique

Villa Farfalla is an extraordinary place. It somehow has a unique charm and everyone who visits is always surprised by the beauty of the views and the villa's position on the top of the hill. There is something very special about hearing the gentle tolling of the church bells from the village whilst taking in the breathtaking views of the beach and mountains. We love the solitude, but also the practical aspects of being able to whizz down to the village for provisions. The beaches are all mostly uncrowded and there are plenty of beach cafes and bars. Gelato can be found in almost every flavour imaginable!
