Property for sale in Abruzzo - house in L'Aquila province

An historic villa for sale in Abruzzo, this beautifully restored old house has lots of room and plenty of land.

La Fenice dates from 1832, as evidenced by the engraved fountain in the verdant courtyard. Beautifully realised in stone, the house is surrounded by greenery. From this delightful country idyll you can see the ancient town of San Pio. Hidden behind a wall bordered by mature trees and plants, at the end of a long tree-lined lane, the property appears majestic and imposing, completely renovated after a fire destroyed it seven years ago.

The owner's sons, two architects, lovingly restored their family home. The adjacent family chapel suffered no damage, and is home to many of their family functions.
