Pacentro house rentals

Casa Rosa proved to be a home away from home. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We made good use of the outdoor spaces for breakfast, lunch and drinks at sundown - the view was spectacular. The house was nicely furnished, comfortable bed and great warm showers. Jo had 2 of everything!! The home was perfectly located to explore the Abruzzo region. Jo’s recommendations on restaurants and info on towns and villages was invaluable. We definitely picked a good home, a beautiful village in a spectacular region.

This home is located in one of the most beautiful places I have visited in Italy. Pacentro is friendly and delightful and the mountains and valleys spectacular. Sitting in the garden for breakfast and dinner was unforgettable with the ever changing light and mist on Mount Majella as a backdrop. Parking is surprisingly easy and safe provided you take the correct small back road up to the house. We spent much of our week there in both Majella and Abruzzo National Parks and visiting the rare Romanesque churches with their 12th and 13th century paintings. If you are interested in such things then I suggest San Tommaso Becket (near Caramanico Terme) with its sculptured lintel and frescoes, San Pietro ad Oratorium - in a forest not far from Capestrano (may need to ring the number on the gate for the friendly volunteer to open) with very special Byzantine inspired pantocrator Christ frescoe, Santa Maria ad Cryptas (in Fossia) with intact 13th cent frescoes cycle) and Bominaco church and Oratorio, with 13th century fresco cycle (ring number on gate for a guide). If these don't interest you then the many spectacular hill top towns may. All up a week wasn't enough in this great part of Italy as there is so much to do and see.
