We had an absolutely fantastic stay in Abruzzo thanks to the lovely couple,Jules n Pete,who operate this stunning hidden gem. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable and totally equipped for all our needs...we asked/needed nothing!!!It's a bit off the beaten track,but that's exactly what we were hoping for.Jules n Pete went above and beyond to help out with a medical appointment and sorting out a toll fine we accidentally incurred on the way to Abruzzo.Great place to stay, great hosts(including two lovely dogs and four very affectionate cats) and a beautiful setting in a beautiful area..Thanks Jools n Pete...We'd love to return one day and in the meantime will highly recommend your venue to anyone we know looking at Abruzzo for a getaway or holiday.Janelle and Nick

Fabulous

What a gem! Beautiful setting, stunning scenery, Julie and Peter are so welcoming and ready to help with anything. Clean and comfortable villa and the pool is paradise surrounded by beautiful flowers/plants and looks over the mountains. Spent a week not doing much but there's plenty to do for those who keep busy. The best supermarket we found was Conad in Casoli. On the small side but has everything you could possibly need. We had a wonderful week in amazing Abruzzo.

We had an amazing 10 days at Pete and Jools property in the beautiful little hamlet of Limiti. The villa is ideal for a couple and Pete and Jools have thought of everything required to make your stay extremely comfortable. The view from the terrace is amazing and so peaceful. Although we only used the pool a couple of times it is beautifully kept and the flowers and plants surrounding it are lovely. Pete and Jools gave us good recommendations on where to visit and for restaurants and the highlight was a visit to The Home restaurant in Palombaro - definitely recommend. This area of Italy has everything, beautiful scenery from the mountains to the sea, lots of little villages to explore and we particularly enjoyed our trips to Scanno and Rosacarro. Thank you so much Pete and Jools we will return. Hope Max is on the mend.

Perfect stay at great hosts!

We stayed four days at Casa Della Zia and we really enjoyed the cosy and clean villa. There is a fully equipped kitchen in which we could make some great Italian lunches and dinners to enjoy at our perfect private roof terrace with stunning views. The swimming pool is lovely and to be used privately as well. The hosts are lovely and extremely hospitable, they're really welcoming and make sure that everything you want or need is covered: they drove us to a lunch and a winetasting, that they arranged for us, because there was alcohol involved, and Julie also went to the pharmacy and hospital with us to help us there since we don't speak Italian. Such great helpfulness and so friendly, great people to be surrounded by and have .

Perfetto! Super holiday!

Jools and Pete are true super-hosts! Warm and welcoming; kind and genuine. Casa del Zia is as described and the photos a true reflection. This lovely couple go above and beyond- they met us at the airport and we followed them to the villa in our hire car. They purchased an air conditioning unit to make us more comfortable in the heatwave. They are knowledgeable about the local area and have many recommendations to make..restaurants, beaches, gelaterias and activities. We have numerous holiday highlights, but one was going for Sunday lunch at the local agriturismo. A perfect way to immerse in Italian family culture. The facilities at the villa are superb and the pool is a real luxury treat! Thank you to you bothJools and Pete.

Great hideaway for a couple

There are not many properties with a pool that are perfect for couples. Many times you need to either share with other properties or with another house. Here Pete and Jools give you free run of the pool when you are staying with them. They are the perfect hosts and will provide help if needed or equally leave you to yourselves if that is what you want. The accommodation is great with a spacious upstairs living area/kitchen with large balcony (fantastic views). Downstairs is a large bathroom, utility area and good size bedroom. Only downside is no aircon but there are shutters on windows, and fans to help keep the rooms cool. Pete and Jools sorted out our hire car issue for us (flat tyre) with the help of the local garage which is an indication of how generous they are with their assistance. The dogs and cats are lovely and no trouble if anyone is wary of animals, they are very gentle and friendly. Thank you Pete and Jools for making our holiday so enjoyable.

Wedding week stay

Pete and jools are honestly two of the nicest people we have ever met. Nothing was too much for them and they always went the extra mile. We stayed here for 1 week for our wedding in Pennapiedimonte - we arrived to a care package of items for dinner that night due to the time we arrived. They also placed items in the fridge so we were able to have a cold drink / tea ect. On arrival they showed us around, gave us all the information needed for the stay and were so lovely to us from the beginning. As it was for our wedding we had family / friends staying local and they allowed them to come up and spend time with us at the pool and in the house itself. They welcomed my family in on the day of my wedding and even helped the car ect reach us. They offered for me to use their home itself for my getting ready photos and I was so thankful to them for everything they done for us whilst we stayed here. Honestly the best place I have ever stayed. They even gave us a beautiful wedding gift / card and provided a drink for me and my mother / bridesmaids on my wedding day! It’s definitely a home away from home. I will be recommending this gem to everyone I know and even those I don’t. Thank you so much for making a special week even more special. Your home will forever have a place in our hearts. We really are gutted to be leaving. Thank you so much again .

Highly, highly recommended

Casa della Zia was the perfect holiday rental for us. Perched on a hill-side, gazing out on the green valley below, the lovely neighbouring hill-top towns of Palombaro and Casoli, and the beginnings of the mountainous Maiella National Park, we were transfixed. We breakfasted on the sun-drenched upper patio, within easy reach of the well-equipped kitchen. We swam in the wonderful pool, and we lazed on the loungers in the shade beside the pool. We slept deeply in the cool lower bedroom, and showered in the lovely bathroom. We have been fortunate to travel to many parts of the world and stay in all sorts of accommodation, and Casa della Zia was right up there with the best of them. Our hosts, Pete and Jools, were great – on hand if needed, but not impinging at all on our privacy. They were very helpful when we were trying to negotiate through our first week’s isolation and through the bureaucracy of obtaining the necessary antigen testing. Jools’s conversational Italian was particularly impressive! Many thanks to you both. We travelled widely through Abruzzo, visiting L’Aquila, Sulmona, Castel del Monte, Santo Stefano di Sessanio, Guardiagrele, Casoli, Palombaro, Pescara, Ortona, San Vito Chietino, the beach at Le Morge, and Vasto, and seeing some astonishingly beautiful scenery. The Abruzzese were unfailingly friendly and helpful, and very tolerant of our poor grasp of the Italian language. Highly, highly recommended.

Nun sind leider unsere 2 Wochen in Casa della Zia vorbei. Wir haben die Zeit in vollen Zügen genossen. Das Haus ist mit sehr viel Geschmack eingerichtet. Es bleiben keine Wünsche offen. Wir haben in diesem Haus etwas erlebt, was wir noch nie so erlebt haben. In der Mitte von Aufenthalt wurden unsere Bettwäsche und Handtücher getauscht zu dem wurden auch noch die Zimmer gereinigt. Auch unser Hund wurde herzlich begrüßt. den Pool haben wir für uns alleine genutzt. Und Panorama Blick von der Terrasse oder dem Pool war unbeschreiblich schön. Und abends war der Pool wunderschön beleuchtet. Julie und Peter sind wunderbare Gastgeber die sehr bemüht sind dass ihren Gästen gut geht und sie sich vollfüllen. Sie haben immer Vorschläge für Unternehmungen parat und geben Tipps wo man am besten parken könnte. Also wennn nach uns geht vergeben wir 20 Punkte von 10 für dieses Ferienhaus. Wir werden bestimmt wiederkommen.

Beste Ferienwohnung überhaupt

Hier hat einfach alles gepasst! Dies ist die bestausgestattete und schönste Ferienwohnung, die wir je hatten. Alles ist wunderschön aufeinander abgestimmt eingerichtet und picobello sauber. Bei der Ausstattung wurde wirklich an jedes Detail gedacht, zahlreiche Dinge, die wir sonst nicht oder nur zum Teil vorfanden, sind da, angefangen von vielen Ablageflächen und Haken im geräumigen Bad, vielen Kleiderbügeln, Abstellkammer mit Wäschekorb, Wäscheständer, Waschmaschine, Safe,Kühltasche, Küchenausstattung genau passend für 2, und, und, und...Und dann natürlich der herrliche Pool, den wir immer für uns hatten und die tolle Terasse für Frühstück und Abendessen mit atemberaubender Aussicht. Das Ganze toppen aber die beiden Gastgeber Jools und und Pete, die uns mit ihrer warmherzigen und hilfsbereiten Art sofort willkommen hießen. Das Versorgungspaket für den ersten Abend und Frühstück war reich ausgestattet und erlaubte ein erholsames Ankommen, der lokale Laden in der Nähe bietet dann alles weitere Nötige. Privatspäre wird groß geschrieben, trotzdem ist jederzeit Hilfe da, wenn man etwas braucht (wie wir z.B. bei einer Reifenpanne).Man muss sich auf etwas kurvige Autofahrerei einstellen, aber das liegt nicht an der Wohnung sondern der ganzen Gegend. Dafür ist man hier zum Glück noch abseits vom Massentourismus und hat herrliche Natur, Berge und Meer in gut erreichbarer Nähe.Besser geht's einfach nicht.Vielen Dank nochmals an Jools und Pete für zwei unvergessliche Wochen

About the host

Hosted by Jools Thorpe

Host profile image

We fell in love with Abruzzo on our first ever visit and our dream was to live here some day. Life made us reflect on it's uncertainty and we decided to follow our dream of living here sooner rather than later. Providence enabled us to do this in 2014. Julie is an early retiree from the NHS and Pete used to be a senior manager in the Insurance sector. We have 2 friendly dogs who love having visitors - Just don't let them con you into thinking they need feeding every time they see you!

Why they chose this property

We wanted somewhere we could make our own and which would provide us with our home plus a holiday property. In selecting the property we asked ourselves what we would want a holiday villa to be. The abandoned villa that would be totally renovated to become Casa della Zia ticked all the boxes and more.
We both loved the location - the views are stunning and the community is warm and welcoming.
As a towny Jools can't get over the variety of the wildlife she has seen just in our olive grove - wild boar, badgers, foxes, deer, a little owl and a Kite (the avian variety that is!).

What makes this property unique

Abruzzo is something of an undiscovered gem.
The people here are strong and kind and welcomed us unconditionally. The sense of community is fantastic and has reminded us what we had lost back in the UK.
The fact that we are 40 mins away from the Mountain top and ski resorts in one direction and 30 minutes from the sea in the other direction offers so many possibilities of things to do with your day. However it is very tempting just to relax and enjoy the immediate area.
The fabulous weather, food and wine was another reason to come!
