Description from owner

Description

Masserie di Marsilio is a secluded, private borgo (historical village) tucked away in the foothills of the Majella mountains in the little known region of Abruzzo

After a five year restoration, we opened in 2015 with a range of accommodation in traditional stone buildings. The restoration has focused on the reuse of existing materials to blend traditional architecture with progressive design. This has provided a unique destination for couples, families and groups alike

Abruzzo offers a warm Mediterranean climate with easy access to both the coast (25 minutes) and mountains (35 minutes). Although secluded, Masserie di Marsilio is only a five minute drive or half an hour’s walk from the town of Casoli (five restaurants, bars and supermarkets); with Pescara airport (50 minutes) and Rome, Naples and Ancona around two and a half hours away

SPECIFICS OF THE PROPERTY

• Two well-appointed, air conditioned, double bedrooms (one available as a twin)

• Front bedroom with two south facing balconies

• Fully equipped and stocked designer kitchen with integrated dishwasher

• Siting room / dining room with angled sofa bed for an additional two guests, if required. Extending glass table for six

WHAT MAKES MASSERIE di MARSILIO DIFFERENT

• Defined by its protected, tranquil position and unique character – unrivalled views, with the sea and snow covered mountains both visible from parts of the property

• Responsible tourism – nominal impact on the environment, keeping Masserie di Marsilio’s footprint to a minimum through the extensive reuse of existing materials, air source heating, solar hot water, rainwater harvesting, recycling and LED lighting

• Guests can benefit from the proprietor’s extensive contacts and experience

• Chefs, baby sitters, masseuses, tour guides and language tuition can be arranged

• Fully inclusive rates – taxes, utilities and the final clean (use of the sofa bed for up to 2 additional guests being the only extra at €165 per week)

ON OFFER IN ABRUZZO

A third of Abruzzo is national park and often referred to as “the green lungs of Europe”. Beaches on the Adriatic coast are clean and plentiful with the closest being a twenty five minute drive from Masserie di Marsilio. The Apennine Mountains cut though Abruzzo and offer a range of sports in both the summer and winter. National parks continue to provide habitat for brown bears and wolves

• Few tourists and a local people unspoilt by tourism

• Natural scenery

• Medieval castles and villages (lots of them..), monasteries, Roman remains, Museums and Art History

• Food and restaurants – these are in abundance locally, untouristy and range from €10 to Michelin starred

• Mountain and Eco tourism - hikes and mountaineering / rock climbing to suit all levels

• Coast and beach tourism – 12 Blue flag beaches
