About the host
Hosted by Jools Thorpe
We fell in love with Abruzzo on our first ever visit and our dream was to live here some day. Life made us reflect on it's uncertainty and we decided to follow our dream of living here sooner rather than later. Providence enabled us to do this in 2014. Julie is an early retiree from the NHS and Pete used to be a senior manager in the Insurance sector. We have 2 friendly dogs who love having visitors - Just don't let them con you into thinking they need feeding every time they see you!
Why they chose this property
We wanted somewhere we could make our own and which would provide us with our home plus a holiday property. In selecting the property we asked ourselves what we would want a holiday villa to be. The abandoned villa that would be totally renovated to become Casa della Zia ticked all the boxes and more.
We both loved the location - the views are stunning and the community is warm and welcoming.
As a towny Jools can't get over the variety of the wildlife she has seen just in our olive grove - wild boar, badgers, foxes, deer, a little owl and a Kite (the avian variety that is!).

What makes this property unique
Abruzzo is something of an undiscovered gem.
The people here are strong and kind and welcomed us unconditionally. The sense of community is fantastic and has reminded us what we had lost back in the UK.
The fact that we are 40 mins away from the Mountain top and ski resorts in one direction and 30 minutes from the sea in the other direction offers so many possibilities of things to do with your day. However it is very tempting just to relax and enjoy the immediate area.
The fabulous weather, food and wine was another reason to come!
