We made the move from Warwickshire, England in 2014 to this spectacular and unspoilt part of Italy. We have not looked back. The challenges, renovating an old farmhouse, learning a new language, settling into a new community have been invigorating as have the delights of the local wine and cuisine. Our background is in education both in Secondary schools and in management training. The latter will continue here in this beautiful settling, offering management development and team building courses for individuals and corporate groups. We live on site and will be available during your stay to assist in any way that we can.

This area of Abruzzo has much to offer whether you are looking for an active or more relaxed break. From mountain walking, cycling, skiing and water sports to soaking up the history of churches, museums, hilltop towns or the Gustav Line. Runners, triathletes and 'Ironmen' will find the perfect training environment here - hills, mountains, good cycling terrain and open water. We are perfectly situated for pursuing hobbies such as painting and photography, and may just inspire you to 'write that book'. The area is well served by restaurants providing traditional local cuisine and wine.
