The ground floor of this 120 year old stone farmhouse is available for rent: it comprises 2 large rooms, kitchen, bathroom and large outdoor seating area under a shaded stone pergola. The house itself is in an isolated position, in the middle of its own olive groves and peaceful gardens. The solid construction of the ground floor walls (some 80 centimetres thick) guarantee a pleasant temperature, even in the hottest of weathers, and the stone pergola (placed on the shady side of the house) affords shelter during rainy weather and is ideal also in the heat of the summer. The house itself is shaded by walnut and mulberry trees, and the ‘wild’ gardens are a mass of roses, oleanders, rosemary, lavender and sage. There is also an orchard of some 40 fruit trees. Its position, 500m above sea-level, between the hilltop towns of Guardiagrele and Casoli, affords stunning views of the Maiella mountain and the ancient olive groves of the Caprafico plateau (which date back to roman times). It is completely tranquil and undisturbed with no through traffic – the nearest neighbour is a three minute walk away.
