Beautiful stone holiday house with an incredible view on the Maiella Mountain.
Casa Elvira Basilico is located in Contrada Basilico in the municipality of San Valentino in Abruzzo Citeriore (PE), small beautiful village in the heart of the hills of Pescara, at the gates of the Maiella National Park, in a quiet unspoilt countryside, with spectacular view of the Maiella Mountain, the valley and the Adriatic Sea. The house is a single house / villa, from the nineteenth century and built mainly with the white stone of Maiella, recently refurbished respecting the original building. While immersed in the green hills of Maiella National Park it is still easily accessible as it is about 25 Km from Pescara airport, and less than 10 minutes from the exit of the highway A25 Roma-Pescara. Casa Elvira Basilico can easily give a comfortable hospitality up to 10 persons. The main house can guest up to 8 people and consists of two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom located on two different levels, a spacious living room with sofa bed, a bright studio with a table and a sofa bed and a fully equipped kitchen. The house is provided with useful mosquito nets on the windows. The independent dependance, located in the garden, can accommodate two more people and has a small kitchen and private bathroom with shower. For the outdoor life the house has a large terrace with outdoor sofas, accessible both from inside and outside the house, with a wonderful view over the Maiella Mountain, the valley, the surrounding mountains and the Adriatic sea. It also has a garden equipped with gazebo, table, chairs, and small barbecue (to be eventually shared with the guests of the depandance, however, to ensure total privacy, can be rented on request with payment of a small extra amount). The house is provided with sheets, towels, kitchen supplies. Free wifi internet connection in the entire house. Flat screen Satellite TV with foreign channels.

This property is amazing! It was so clean and well-equipped for 9 of us. The view is absolutely stunning. We loved the guest house and outdoor patio/terrace. Stefano responded to any question we had. Thanks for a great experience!

Living quarters are not as shown - bedrooms have no privacy as one has to walk though an anointing bedroom for shared toilets- some TLC needed

Thanks for the review anyway I need to precise that it is not accurate. The house has three bedrooms with toilette for which everyone can use his own. When you are more then 6 persons we need to prepare another room + sofa in the living room and for this reason inorder to go to the toilette you need to walk trough another bedroom. This is why we rent only to family groups or friends the all house so the inconvenience when you are more then 6 it is easily solved and we can also offer the house for a very reasonable price for groups more the 6 people.
Nessun problema al nostro arrivo, tutto come da programma ricevuto dal proprietario (sempre disponibile ad ogni richiesta). La casa si trova in un punto facile da raggiungere in macchina e in una zona in piena tranquillità. Gli interni sono come da descrizione, è dotata dei servizi e del necessario per una breve vacanza. Sicuramente qualcosa ha bisogno di un rinnovamento ma tutto buono nel complesso.
Casa funzionale (a parte la scala interna e, meno, anche quella esterna), però tavolo esterno in "giardino" sotto gazebo poco fruibile per grande caldo di giorno e troppe zanzare la sera.

Grazie della recensione. Preciso che la scala interna, come da descrizione della casa, è una scala d’emergenza che gli ospiti possono comunque utilizzare. La scala esterna a chiocciola è invece comoda per salire al piano superiore della struttura. Quest’anno il caldo è stato eccessivo e per le zanzare all’esterno è sempre consigliabile uno spray. Fortunatamente la casa è fornita di zanzariere. Cordialmente
La casa è molto carina, spaziosa, pulita e ha un terrazzino panoramico che si affaccia sulla Majella, Morrone e Gran Sassso. Ottima per famiglie o gruppi di amici.
Lovely building, well equipped and comfortable.
The owner was very helpful and also made some excellent recommendations for local restaurants and services.
Highly recommended!
Abbiamo passato un bella vacanza in questa casa grande, pulita e molto attrezzata come cucina; sembrava di essere a casa nostra. La posizione a San Valentino è vicina per effettuare passeggiate per famiglia. In loco per ogni ns. esigenza siamo stati seguitissimi. Una esperienza da ripetere.

Prachtig gelegen ruime woning met heerlijk dakterras. Uitstekende prijs kwaliteit verhouding
Prima verblijf gehad in dit huis, ondanks de grote hitte begin augustus. Omschrijving van het huis klopt goed met de werkelijkheid. Uitstekende uitvalsbasis voor wandelingen in relatief ongerepte natuur. Toerisme staat nog in de kinderschoenen in dit gebied met bergen, ravijnen, slaperige dorpjes en oude stadjes. Zeker een aanrader als je rust en natuur zoekt.

Tranquilità e pace!
Appartamento adatto a famiglie, pulito e ben organizzato nella sua essenzialità.
Comodo per visitare l'Abruzzo e il Parco della Maiella in particolare.
Segnalo solo che manca l'asciugacapelli, portatevelo!

Grazie per la recensione, volevo solo segnalare che la casa ha un asciugacapelli. Purtroppo gli ospiti che erano stati prima di voi l'avevano messo in un armadio e non l'hanno lasciato a vista come di solito facciamo.

Una dimora con una storia da raccontare
Una casa accogliente che si sviluppa su 3 piani. Ogni locale è in grado di armonizzare elementi del passato con altri più moderni e di trasportare gli ospiti in un viaggio nella tradizione locale, come racconta l'ampia cucina, con un tavolo attorno al quale ci si siede volentieri a chiacchiere, così come il cortile sottostante. Il "locale" che ha lasciato un segno più profondo, però, è stato il terrazzo: un luogo accessibile attraverso una ripida scala, ma che offre una vista meravigliosa, infondendo una sensazione di pace e serenità. La casa, ben attrezzata, è a pochi minuti di auto dal paese, dai supermercati e, soprattutto dal Parco della Majella, un'altra piacevole scoperta da non perdere. Se ci tornerei? Non vedo l'ora.

"Un logement confortable, disposant d''une pièce fraîche en cas de canicule (essentiel cet été). L''environnement est parfait : situation idéale, proche des promenades du parc de la Maiella, comme des rivages de l''Adriatique; vue impressionnante sur les montagnes, et voisins absolument charmants. Les propriétaires sont très disponibles pour fournir leurs conseils sur la région."

"Siamo stati benissimo!Ab...
"Siamo stati benissimo!Abbiamo trovato una casa pulita, comoda, spaziosa e fornita di TUTTO (asciugamani, tappeti, lenzuola, piumoni, stoviglie, accessori vari da cucina ecc); dei proprietari gentili e sempre disponibili..pace e tranquillità in un contesto geografico caratteristico, molto rilassante, con una vista dal terrazzo mozzafiato!
Infine dei vicini di casa simpatici, cordiali, disponibili, assolutamente non invadenti e che anche a dei ragazzi che vogliono divertirsi lasciano fare di tutto senza mai lamentarsi (grazie anche all''alto livello di insonorizzazione di casa elvira).
Noi speriamo di tornarci al più presto e la consigliamo a persone di qualsiasi età...
La casa è a 3 km dal carrefour e da altri negozi di vario genere per ogni necessità ed a meno di 20 km dagli impianti sciistici di passo lanciano."
