About this property

Sulmona -Abruzzo- Prezza -Rural Central Italy Villa

Giamia Villa, built originally in 1885 by my great great grandfather (Cesidio) for one of his sons (Pasquale) who had six sons of his own (Raffaele, Giulio, Costa, Modesto, Damiano (my grandfather) and Armando). I was born in a very small part of this house in 1949. As time passed the house fell in disrepair and was abandoned for thirty years. In 2006, returning to Italy after 39 years and seeing it in the condition that it was in I decided to buy it. I had to pay a percentage of the value to 21 different owners. In the last three years we have completed the renovations and have now a premier tourist rental property.

From the extra large balconies (400 sq. ft.) we have a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains, lush green river valley below and well cultivated lands in the vicinity. Sounds of water rushing and birds singing is the norm throughout the day and at night you could see the milky way and all its stars due to the clear atmosphere that is delightful to breathe in.

Thanks for the assistance -The penthouse unit -is 650 sq. ft, ceramic flooring in the kitchen and dining room, parquet flooring in the bedroom, cathedral wood ceiling heavy exposed wood joists, wood trim throughout, extra large shower.

We have other apartments available, please contact us for details.

A different side of Italy
After walking down Italy from the Swiss border to Rome, staying in towns large and small, Sulmona offers yet another aspect of Italian life. WIFI marginal but Michael was a very kind and attentive host who worked to ensure we had a great break in his apartment. We found it easy and interesting walking around the area, a trip by train to Pescara on the Adriatic Sea, catching the bus into town. We did feel we were able to sense the rhythm of the place and certainly enjoyed afternoons on the expansive and scenic deck.

Nice holiday flat with huge balcony in central Abruzzo
Walking in the mountains of the national parcs in Abruzzo is wonderful. This holiday flat is situated near 2 national parcs and one regional nature parc. It takes no more than one hour by car to go to all the interesting places. There is a huge balcony with a wonderful view of the mountains. It is very quiet and within 10 minutes you can go by car to Sulmona (nice typical italien town)

A relaxing Italian getaway!
Large comfortable suite with a full kitchen. Huge balcony with a panoramic view of the mountains. A garden like no other; flowers, fruit trees, vegetables of all sorts. Fountains & ponds..... A perfect place for an Italian getaway!

GiaMia Villa September 2015
My wife and I had the good fortune to choose G V for our stay in Abruzzo. By the time we arrived we had had enough of the touristy places, being jostled about and finding ourselves in crowded places. As advertised, it is quiet and peaceful and while it feels almost remote when you are there, it is only a few minutes’ drive to Sulmona where there are enough activities, restaurants and nightlife to fill anyone’s calendar. The Adriatic beaches are less than an hour away, kids were back in school so not crowded and the “Indian Summer” weather meant we could spend more time at the beach than we had originally planned. The pace here was more relaxed and we had a huge terrace for morning coffee and even dining al fresco when we didn’t feel like going to a restaurant. With a fully equipped kitchen in the apartment it was a lot more fun to shop at the open markets and make a meal. Mike, the owner, had us picking fresh veggies and fruits from the abundant gardens. He has transformed the property by adding small lakes and ponds with waterfalls and a large deck that looks perfect for a wedding or party. A river runs along the edge of the property down at the bottom of the hill and a dozen cows are in the nearby pasture. The best part, for me anyway, was the HUGE shower with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Every place else we stayed had a tiny box that you could barely turn around in, much less reach down to pick up a dropped bar of soap!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Giammarco

Host profile image
Immigrated to Canada in the late 1950's with my parents as a nine year old boy, grew up in Toronto where I had my schooling, got married and started my career. Moved out west to Calgary, Alberta in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in 1977. Started a new career in Real Estate Developer and Property managing that is still ongoing. In 1997 returned to Italy after 39 years, memories of my birthplace, its peaceful tranquility, and sense of home led me to invest in my home village (Campo di Fano) with a population of 300 relatives of mine. I invite you to come and share my piece of paradise.

Why they chose this property

I Thank the good Lord for giving me the opportunity to do a feel good project from my heart. Peaceful setting surrounded by Olive groves, vineyards, mountains and rivers, it was the place of my birth and I felt that I had to somehow set my roots here again in a village where we are all related and you are welcomed with open arms.

What makes this property unique

I have purchased over 60 Acres of land that we are now clearing and planting a vineyard, assorted fruit trees from peaches to kiwi fruit. Wide varieties of rose bushes and countless of other flowering plants, bushes and shrubs. Most of all socializing with the many relatives that I am surrounded with in our village. Come and be part of this setting with me.
