This is a very special property featured in the TV programme : 'A Place in the Sun'. It is a newly restored traditional house standing in its own private grounds of 3.5 acres including a wonderful 1.2 acre olive grove. Both house and olive grove view directly onto the Gran Sasso massif rising to just short of 3000m. Although extremely private, lying along a track of around 200m it is only 3-4 minutes from the ancient pre-Roman town of Atri that has a Cathedral, several magnificent churches, a theatre, an archaeological museum and many cafes, trattorie and restaurants. It is only 10 -15 minutes from the Pine shaded beach at Pineto. At the same time it is just 45 minutes from Castelli and the National Parks around the Gran Sasso that have wonderful summer walking. So you can choose both. A great advantage in the summer is that we are at 400m altitude. So after the heat of the beach, you can return home quickly in the evening, and sleep in fresh air much better than is possible close to the sea.
