Property for sale in Abruzzo - restored house in national park

A village hideaway in the heart of Abruzzo - this property for sale in L'Aquila province is the ideal spot for those wanting to get away from it all. Completely renovated and in a medieval town with breathtaking views amid the rocky mountain peaks.

'La casa nel borgo incantato' has a breathtaking view of surroundings that seem to melt into the skyline. The beautifully cultivated fields about, which have been farmed since medieval times, surround a lovely old village once owned by the Medici family. They brought the grandeur of the Florence court to this town, which was an important centre of the wool trade. Of late, the town has come back to life, with a group of enlightened entrepreneurs opening an hotel here. Everything has been renovated and restored in the utmost sympathy with the fabric of the place. There are little speciality shops, a tea room and a linen store, wool and embroidery shop.

The surroundings form one of Italy's finest national parks: the National Park of the Gran Sasso and the Monti delle Laghi, in which you can find the highest peak (3000m) of the Appennine chain. A geological wonder, a natural gymnasium for the most competitive Alpine climber and home to some of the most diverse natural species of the animal world.

Somewhere to love and live but also to respect above all.

The property consists of an ample living room with corner kitchen (on the lower floor) that opens onto a small pinewood area, offering a fresh respite in those hot summer days. On the upper floor (which would be the ground floor) another living room, a bathroom with shower and a bedroom with private access. All has been renovated in a very conservative but sophisticated style preserving the natural stonework and arched stone ceilings that make this an exclusive and prestigious property. Parking is available on the outskirts of the village's surrounding stone wall.

Distances from here include L'Aquila 28km, Sulmona 56km, Rome 149km, Teramo 82km, Castelli 47km, Isola del Gran Sasso and the sanctuary of Saint Gabriele 62km, Campo Imperatore 13km and Pescara airport 84km.
