About this property

Medieval Townhouse in the heart of Pacentro

Lying in the Majella National Park of the Apennines Mountains, Il Fascino di Pacentro (The Charm of Pacentro) is a 700 year old 2 bedroomed medieval terraced home situated in the historic mountainous village of Pacentro, Abruzzo, Italy.

Just 2 hours from Rome and 1 hour from Pescara Airport, Pacentro is ideally situated for exploring this rich and diverse region. With mountain walks on the doorstep, the Adriatic beaches just 1 hour away and many historical towns and villages to explore our holiday home makes this the ideal place to be!

Voted as “Uno dei Borghi piú belli d’Italia”, “One of the most beautiful villages in Italy”, the village of Pacentro is a community of medieval passageways and piazza’s.

This lovely 2 bedroom home near the castle in the village is in walking distance of the village shops, restaurants and bars. Everything you need to cook a gorgeous meal or enjoy a bbq outside is available for your use. The galley kitchen is equipped with all you need including a Lavazza Espresso coffee pod machine.

The entrance living and dining room is comfortable and cool and leads to the galley kitchen. This is a lovely and cosy room with a large fireplace. The main bedroom on the first floor has a king size bed with a chest of drawers and hanging rail. Doors open fully and have fly screens to a small balcony (not large enough to sit on). The bathroom with shower, toilet and washing machine is modern and on the opposite landing to the main bedroom. Up to the last level is the 2nd bedroom with twin beds and two small windows with views over the village and castle wall. The main living room boasts views of the castle wall and from the balcony towards the mountains. There is a comfortable sofa and is our favourite place to play games, read and relax with a pre-dinner drink. All windows in the house have fly screens.

Please note we require a minimum of 3 night stay.

Memories made
Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the property manager and although I couldn’t speak Italian, we were able to make it work. The property manager was also able to accommodate my early departure. The property was perfect for our family of 5. We didn’t mind the 10 minute walk or so to the center of Pacentro. The third floor was a little warm to begin the evenings but the property had fans and it cooled off quickly at night. Communication between the property manager and owner was perfect! They answered all my questions in a timely manner. I would definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity to visit again.

Vacanza nel medioevo
La casa è affascinante, sembra di vivere in un castello, le descrizioni del sito sono corrispondenti, rapporto qualità/ prezzo buono, unica nota dolente sono i cagnolini del vicino di casa che a volte possono interrompere la magica tranquillità del posto con il loro abbaiare. Pacentro è un Borgo bellissimo, e i paesani sono molto cordiali e socievoli. È la seconda volta che ci fermiamo in questo paese e non sarà l'ultima.

Perfect spot
This little house in Pacentro was exactly what we needed for our short stay. Trish was very communicative, and Maria was friendly and reliable. It was VERY clean. We didn't spend much time in the house as we were in town for a family event, but it was the perfect spot to wind down the day. We would recommend Trish's place to anyone traveling through.

Einmalige Erfahrung in einem Bergdorf
In einem 700 Jahre alten Stadthaus vis-a-vis mit der Schlossmauer zu wohnen, hat etwas sehr romantisches und ist definitiv aussergewöhnlich! Im Haus ist alles, was es für das tägliche Leben braucht. Die Vermieter haben das Haus liebevoll für die Familie eingerichtet. Das Ambiente des Bergdorfes allein ist eine Reise wert. Allerdings kein Objekt für jemand mit Fuss- und Gehproblemen, da das Haus nur zu Fuss zu erreichen ist und die Treppe im Haus (wie im ganzen Dorf) steil.

Rigenerante
Soggiorno magnifico. Abbiamo condiviso la proprietà con una coppia di amici. La casa è dotata di tutto il necessario e anche più. Molto raccolta e suggestiva e Pacentro è il luogo ideale per un soggiorno rilassante fuori dal caos cittadino o punto di partenza per le escursioni. La signora Maria molto gentile. Ci torneremo sicuramente

Più che soddisfatti
Tipica abitazione abruzzese di montagna situata nella parte "alta" di Pacentro, a due passi dal castello. Il check-in è stato estremamente facile e la casa ci è stata consegnata pulitissima e con tutto il necessario per il soggiorno. Va benissimo per chi cerca un esperienza genuina della vita di altri tempi: aria buona, cibo genuino, pochi confort, e gli piace arrampicarsi alla scoperta delle bellissime viuzze di questi paesi. Avere Sulmona a quattro passi è una comodità nel caso si abbia bisogno di tornare alla quotidianità e ci si vuole svagare un po' di più. Numerose anche le possibilità di escursioni e day trips

Appartamento al castello
Appartamento grande in un bel paese, ma un po' scomodo per le valige, zona notte e bagno rinnovato e cucina e zona pranzo da migliorare. Ottimo rapporto qualita prezzo.

borgo meraviglioso
La location è fantastica (alle spalle del castello di pacentro), il paesino è meraviglioso e ben conservato. Per noi che volevamo fare trekking consentiva alcune escursioni lasciando la macchina, altre occorreva prenderla per raggiungere l'inizio dei percorsi. Lenzuola e asciugamani puliti, cucina attrezzata. Abbiamo avuto problemi con la lavatrice che faceva scattare il contatore; vicini cordiali ma un pò rumorosi in quanto si dovevano occupare della mamma anziana affetta da sordità per cui dovevano alzare la voce per farsi sentire. Ma anche questo ti dava idea di un accudimento degli anziani che i figli non fanno mancare, bello!!!

Bella pacentro
Abbiamo soggiornato due notti in questa antica casa nella splendida Pacentro. Posizione fantastica, casa su tre piani vicino al castello. La casa ha tutto quello che può servire (stoviglie, beni di prima necessità, cose per la colazione) e si vede che i proprietari la amano e vogliono condividerla con gli ospiti. Unico neo....pulizia non accuratissima ma forse, in questo momento di pandemia, è più difficile gestire le cose da distanza. Assolutamente consigliata

Hyggeligt bjergby og gode vandreture
Superfint ferielejlighed i en gammel hus med sjæl, til dem der vil gerne have det stille og roligt og ikke behøver luksus som opvaskemiaskine, mikrobølgeovn, WiFi, og fjernsyn. Dejlige komfortable senge. Lidt mørkt og køligt i spisestuen, som er placeret i stueetagen, men i stuen, som er placeret på anden sal er der masse solskin. Køkkenet er lille men veludstyret. Der er kun en DVD afspiller og en lille skærm, så vi hørte bare italiensk radio :). Kæmpe bibliotek med engelsksprogede bøger. Turen fra Skt. Leonardo passet til toppen af Mileto bjerget og udsigten derfra er fantastisk!

About the host

Hosted by Trish Ellse

Host profile image
We are a family who love all things Italy. The people, the food and the mountains! We live and work in Britain and this house was the first we saw and the first home we ever owned. We love the village and want others to see and experience a bit of the true Italy! The region is beautiful with beaches not too far, skiing nearby, lots of activities, shopping and nature. Abruzzo is breathtaking with lots to do.

Why they chose this property

Great location, unique and comfortable. Great food all just a 5 minute walk away including one of Italy's best Slow Food restaurants Caldora.

What makes this property unique

Being in a house over 500 years old in the heart of the medieval part of the village. The village is known as the ancestral village of Madonna the popstar and some American politicians!
