Full Description
‘Il Refugio’ is a
charming, traditional, stone house, full of rustic Italian character, such as
the vaulted ceiling in the kitchen, beamed ceiling in the lounge and terracotta
tiles throughout. The property is set in
beautiful countryside with lovely views all around, including amazing views of
the mountains, but is only a 10 minute drive from the popular, ancient walled
town of Penne. The house and grounds are
accessed directly from a quiet, tarmac road.
It is composed as
follows:
GROUND FLOOR – kitchen
with walk-in larder, lounge, storage room, utility/bathroom.
Internal stairs lead

FIRST FLOOR – 2
bedrooms and bathroom, with bath tub.
The ‘pièce de
résistance’ is surely the garden, with its spectacular views of the Gran Sasso
mountains. There is an expansive paved area around the house, which is flat and
spacious. The large, permanent gazebo and covered patio areas give shade,
whilst there are plenty of sunny areas too – perfect for sun worshippers and
shade seekers alike! The garden was
designed with entertainment, fun and relaxation in mind, and it has certainly
succeeded. The covered areas mean that
it is ideal for all-weather outdoor eating.
Plus, the abundant amount of outside lights around the patio area and
the confines of the garden, give so much light that meals can enjoyed outside
at any time of day or night. The garden, including some of the meadowland, is
fully fenced, with a gated entrance, providing security and ample parking.
There are lots of mature trees and a shed provides extra useful storage.
From the ornamental garden
around the house, you can follow steps down to the meadow areas and woodland. First, you will encounter a swing, plus a
picnic bench on a flat grassy area below the garden. Then, there is nature walk with access to the
river through private woods, which create a haven for a host of birds and
wildlife. Within the extensive grounds
of ‘Il Refugio’, you can enjoy a piece of the beautiful countryside of Abruzzo,
without having to leave home!
