Gorgeous house with amazing view
I visited casa foellas with my boyfriend early September as a relaxing break following a busy city stay in Rome. To start, the weather was amazing, not too hot (around 28-30 degrees) but still warm enough to enjoy the pool overlooking a beautiful scenery
Activities were not sparse, with the Le Morge beach only half an hour away in the car and other tourist attractions like Roccascalegna and roman ruins, we never found ourselves bored, the nearby restaurants also provide some delicious meals, I especially recommend Pizzeria Trattoria and Serranella, when you're feeling a bit too lazy to cook in the fully equipped kitchen!
The owners thought of everything you could possibly need to ensure a relaxing holiday was had and I’ll be sure to visit again

Perfectly peaceful
My husband and I enjoyed a fantastic holiday here. The house is clean, tidy and well equipped with plenty of space although to be honest we didn’t spend much time indoors. A car is essential to get around but it’s location makes the property secluded and wonderfully peaceful.
We were met at the house by David who gave us a tour of the property and advice on places to eat and beaches. Every 2 or 3 days he contacted us to make sure it was convenient to come along and clean the pool and tend to the garden and he was always available by phone if needed.
The covered terrace is the perfect spot to eat, read and relax with great views of the valley below and the hillside beyond and in the evening it becomes enchanting with lights twinkling in the dark.
The pool deck is a real sun trap so the parasols are a welcome addition and the pool itself is a good size and beckons after a hot day sight seeing.
The nearest place to eat is within walking distance at just over 1km away and there are plenty of places within a 10-15 minute drive for grocery shopping. As the house is situated midway between the mountains and the coast there is a diverse range of things to do and see.
Take plenty of insect repellent. We visited in July and there were lots of things with an inclination to bite but that’s the countryside for you.
Jane, the owner, was a real pleasure to deal with: replying promptly to my questions and supplying relevant information in plenty of time.

We spend our summer vacation here near Casoli (Abruz). The house is a traditional 'casa' with a modern interior. The pool is a must have during the summer time. The beaches are very close and beautiful, e.g. near Fossacesia. The owners and housekeeper are very friendly and helpful in all situations.

If you want a peaceful, rural getaway then Casa Foelas is the place for you. The coast is easily accessible as are the mountains and the airport. A car is a must but you don’t need to drive too far to find a beach, dramatic scenery, a Roman ruin or ancient castle. A lovely pool and views make this smallish but tastefully decorated apartment seem so much more spacious. We loved it and wished we’d had more time to explore what the area had to offer. The owners and local agents were very friendly and helpful.
La casa foelas est vraiment magnifique!!! Nous avons passé des vacances extraordinaire, tout y est pour passé de superbes vacances (piscine, paysages, tranquillité, le confort, les plages à proximité, ...).... nous y avons passé nos plus belle vacances... Je n'ai pas assez de mots pour expliquer à quel point tout est parfait. Nous reviendrons l'année prochaine... nous aimerions passer notre vie là-bas. Et merci à Jane et David pour toutes les informations utiles et leur sympathie.

Mooie plek om de Abruzzen te verkennen
Mooi huis en van alle gemakken voorzien, zoals uitstekende bedden, airco en goed werkende WiFi.
Helaas was het water van het zwembad te warm om verkoelend te werken.
