Beautiful stone house, high in the medieval mountain village of Roccacasale

My house is located near the top of the picturesque, medieval, village of Roccacasale which nestles on the side of the Montagna del Morrone, just inside the Majella National Park and only a few kilometres away from all the national and regional parks of Abruzzo. It is only 9km from the beautiful historic town of Sulmona, very close to the thermal spas at Popoli, a 40 minute drive from miles of pristine sandy beaches at Pescara on the Adriatic coast and only a 30 minute drive from ski resorts. The house itself has been lovingly restored, is made from Majella stone and has two large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large attractive living room with two balconies, a pretty fruit garden with a large BBQ, a fully equipped kitchen and a roof terrace with staggering views of the surrounding mountains and the village below. It is perfect for anyone who loves walking,the outdoors, exploring mountain villages and castles, or for simply relaxing on the terrace enjoying the view with local food and wine.

We had a great time in Abruzzo staying at this property. The property has ample space, is very quiet and a great price. It has great views of the valley and is near Sulmona and just an hour from the beaches in Pescara. There is plenty of space and plenty of beds. Having three bathrooms was great. Mark was very helpful and easy to communicate with leading up to the stay and during the stay. If you want to stay in a roomy place to experience a real Italian village this is it. You will not see any other tourists here. The sunrise and sunset on the balcony were beautiful.

Cleanliness Not Up to Par
Mark was super friendly and available to give us an initial tour of the property and to answer questions about activities, grocery store, etc. We love the little town and it's residents who all know Mark. The views from the property are breath-taking and day trips to adjacent areas convenient. The price to rent the property was outstanding. Parking was available but not close. We drove a Jeep Compass, which made it difficult to navigate the narrow, curvy road - rent the smallest car possible for your group. We made the steep trek to the property with our luggage, not for the faint of heart. The space could definitely use some organization and deep cleaning - the appliances and dishes needed to be washed before we would use them. The bathrooms were OK but needed some minor cleaning and repair. The beds are doubles, not queen or king,making it more comfortable for couples to sleep in two separate beds. The bedding was clean but not clean and crisp as we have experienced in other properties, making us feel a bit leery about the freshness. The space is huge and would be great for a large group that may be in the area for a ski or hiking trip.

really very nice play to stay, nothing to complain
We (a Dutch family with 2 children) had a great time in this nice an comfortable house. There where more then enough beds and even 3 bathrooms. The contact with the owner was really good and he even arranged access with the internet for the days we stayed. The village is very quiet in this time of the year. We were not so lucky with the weather but the surrounding and the sceenery is beautiful with lots of nice old little villages to walk around. We even did a daytrip to Rome (1,5 hour by car) which was very easy. Tip: park at one of the parkingplaces near the metrostation outside the center. It's just 1,50 euro for 12 hours, and again 1,50 euro for a metroticket (15 minutes). The combination mountains and city was great. We advise everybody who wants to visit this region to stay in Marc's house, you won't get anything better for this price.

Most wonderful place
Most wonderful place, plenty of room and an astonishing roof terrace with a great view on the valley. Location on top of a traditional mountain village is beautiful. Only car parking is a challenge.

Une maison spacieuse, typique, chaleureuse, pour un séjour exceptionnel dans un cadre exceptionnel
- L' emplacement de la maison dans un village d'une grande beauté, la maison elle-même et ses dépendances, ses équipements, la disposition des espaces de détente et de convivialité, la propreté des lieux : sur tous ces critères, nous ne sommes que très satisfaits (la description de l'annonce est bien fidèle à la réalité). - Encore merci à Mark, le propriétaire, pour ses conseils et la gentillesse de son accueil. - La maison est un excellent point de départ pour des visites touristiques et culturelles, comme pour de la randonnée. - Pour toutes ces raisons, il est évident que nous recommandons chaudement un séjour dans cette propriété et dans la région.
