Farmhouse flat in Contrada Lazzaretto Ortona Italy

Prices from £295 per Week
A recently converted ground-floor stable in a historic 18th-century farmhouse overlooking the sea amid vineyards and olive groves in a rural hamlet now becoming a holiday area, as it is near the beach. It has old wooden doors, traditional brick arches & vaulted ceilings, & has been carefully restored in a simple rustic open-plan style to respect the original structure. The beach is less than 5 minutes away by car, & within an hour you can be 6000 feet up in the mountains. The house lies midway between the popular seaside resort of Francavilla (which holds a spectacular firework display over the sea, which you can see from near the house) & the medieval port of Ortona with its Aragonese castle, promenade overlooking the port & cathedral, reputed to contain the remains of St Thomas the Apostle. Here too is the Regional Enoteca, where you can taste & buy a wide range of Abruzzese wines or sit over an aperitif and antipasti before dining at one of the town's excellent seafood restaurants. Accommodation comprises a bedroom with 2 single beds, separated from the living room by screens; a living room with a sofa bed and 2 armchair beds, and a large dining table with seating for 8 people; a large bathroom with washbasin, bath, shower, toilet and bidet; and a small kitchen with sink, draining rack, gas hob, cooker hood, microwave oven and fridge-freezer. All towels and bed linen provided. Apartment cleaned once a week. We also supply a kettle, toaster, clothes rack, hairdryer, washing machine, iron and ironing board, Internet access, DVD player and some DVDs, some books, playing cards, board games, auxiliary heating (halogen and kerosene heaters), insect screens & an electric insect killer. A cot, high chair & playpen can be obtained if required. No pets and no smoking indoors please. We will provide you with a comprehensive set of notes supplying information about the flat, our favourite local shops & a list of places we like to visit. On arrival you will find some essential food, mineral water & a bottle of wine so you don't have to go shopping immediately. Ground-floor access, no stairs. There are 2 small steps, set apart from each other, but moveable ramps can be provided to facilitate wheelchair access, if needed. Opening on to the back garden the house has a sheltered paved area with a barbecue (shared with the owners when present), where you can sit and eat out, using the parasol, table and chairs provided. There is also secure parking available at the rear. Reviews 'We had an amazing family holiday here. It was our second visit & it never disappoints, whether you come in spring or in summer. The farmhouse flat is lovely: modern in all the right places, but retaining all the rustic charm of the original stonework. The patio was excellent for eating out & the boys loved the space for playing. The location is perfect: just a couple of minutes from the beach by car, where loungers can be hired for just 2 euros a day & there are lovely little cafés offering meals very reasonably. The friendly staff at the Punto Verde were great with the kids & there is a bar for the grown-ups too. There is an excellent local pizzeria (Toni & Lucia's) where the food is great & prices ludicrously low. Pefect accommodation, perfect location, wonderful holiday.' (Kevin & Geneviève Chesters)
