A beautiful, spacious Italian villa sleeping 12, with a large private pool, spectacular countryside and sea views, air conditioning, full central heating and everything you need for a relaxing holiday in the heart of Abruzzo.

Discover the magic of Abruzzo – Italy's hidden gem

Imagine waking up to spectacular views, enjoying breakfast in the sunshine, exploring beautiful traditional Italian villages and returning to your own fully private villa for a relaxing evening dining under the stars, with olive oil from the olive trees you see surrounding the villa.

Welcome to Villa Vesta!

Our spacious six-bedroom villa enjoys a wonderful position overlooking the Abruzzo countryside.

Whether you are looking for a relaxing summer holiday, a spring escape, an autumn break or even a longer stay exploring this beautiful part of Italy, Villa Vesta offers comfort, space and facilities throughout the year.

Unlike many holiday villas, and for no extra charge, Villa Vesta has full central heating, as well as air conditioning throughout all six bedrooms, making it an excellent choice outside the traditional summer season too.

Space for everyone

Villa Vesta comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests in six generously sized bedrooms, making it ideal for extended families, several families holidaying together or groups of friends.

The property offers an impressive amount of living space, with three separate lounges, two fully equipped kitchens and a kitchenette, and four bathrooms (including the separate poolside shower and changing facilities).

There is plenty of room for everyone to relax together, while equally providing space to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Five bedrooms have large Italian matrimonial beds, and the sixth bedroom has two single beds. All bedrooms have air conditioning, shutters, wardrobes and comfortable furnishings.

Your own private swimming pool

The south-facing private swimming pool, looking towards the mountains, is a real highlight of Villa Vesta.

Measuring an impressive 12 metres by 5 metres, the pool gently slopes down from the shallow end, making it particularly suitable for families with children.

Pool heating is available at additional cost, subject to availability, from May to September.

Around the pool you will find sun loungers, comfortable seating, tables and parasols, providing everything you need to enjoy long, lazy days in the Italian sunshine.

There is also a dedicated poolside changing room with a large walk-in shower, toilet, washbasin and space to change and store clothing.

Wonderful outdoor living

The villa sits within attractive grounds featuring approximately 40 olive trees, together with pomegranate, fig and apple trees.

The garden and outdoor spaces provide plenty of opportunities to relax, enjoy the scenery and experience the Italian countryside.

A shaded pergola provides a wonderful setting for outdoor dining, with seating for up to 16 people at two outdoor tables.

Whether it is a leisurely breakfast, a long Italian lunch or an evening meal with family and friends, outdoor living is a special part of the Villa Vesta experience.

Comfortable living throughout the year

Inside, the villa offers three separate living areas, all with generous seating, giving larger groups plenty of flexibility.

There are two televisions, a DVD player, radio/CD player and a good selection of books.

The kitchens are fully equipped with gas hobs, ovens, fridge freezers, kettles and toasters plus a dishwasher, microwave, espresso maker and plenty of cookware and utensils.

There are two indoor dining areas. The middle-floor dining table seats eight, while the large extendable 3 metre kitchen table downstairs accommodates up to ten people.

For the cooler months, in addition to full central heating, there is a wood burner and open fireplace to create that magical atmosphere.

Explore beautiful Abruzzo

Abruzzo is one of Italy's most beautiful and least discovered regions, offering an extraordinary combination of mountains, national parks, traditional villages, vineyards, countryside and the Adriatic coastline.

Almost half the region is protected through national parks and nature reserves, making it a wonderful destination for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.

There is something for everyone, whether you enjoy walking, cycling, sightseeing, photography, Italian food and wine, or simply discovering the quieter side of Italy.

To the east, the Adriatic coastline and seaside towns around Pescara offer beaches, restaurants and attractive promenades.

To the west, the Apennine mountains provide spectacular scenery, traditional mountain villages and wonderful opportunities for walking and exploring. A book of local walks can be found in the villa.

From the villa, you can enjoy panoramic views in both directions. On clear days, the sea is visible from the upstairs balconies, while the mountains provide a magnificent backdrop to the pool.

At approximately 500 metres above sea level, Villa Vesta also benefits from refreshing breezes during the warmer months, making it a particularly pleasant place to stay during the Italian summer.

A wonderful destination in spring and autumn, as well as summer

Spring and autumn are particularly lovely times to discover Abruzzo.

The countryside comes alive in spring, with green hills, wildflowers and comfortable temperatures for exploring the villages, countryside and mountains.

Autumn brings a different kind of magic, with the olive and grape harvests, seasonal food, beautiful countryside colours and a wonderful atmosphere in the local villages.

These seasons are ideal for walking, cycling, sightseeing, enjoying long lunches at local restaurants and discovering authentic Italian life without the height of the summer crowds.

And after a day exploring, you can return to the comfort of Villa Vesta, relax in one of the three lounges and enjoy the warmth of the central heating when the evenings become cooler.

We can help you organise tours of local vineyards, suggest places to visit, as well as details of local markets and local events.

Local amenities, restaurants and transport

Villa Vesta is approximately 35 minutes by car from Abruzzo International Airport at Pescara and around 35 minutes from the Adriatic coast.

There are several traditional villages nearby, with local shops, cafés and restaurants. A bakery selling fresh bread is just a few minutes away.

Two large supermarkets on the outskirts of Penne, one of the oldest towns in Abruzzo and just over ten minutes away, provide everything you might need during your stay.

There are numerous recommended local restaurants within easy reach, offering the opportunity to enjoy authentic Abruzzese cooking and regional specialities. Our neighbour, Dina, who speaks some English and French, can help with recommendations and reservations.

Direct flights are available to Pescara Airport from several European locations, making access to the villa particularly convenient. Alternatively, Rome's airports provide another option, with the drive to Villa Vesta taking you through some beautiful mountain scenery.

Rome itself is also possible as a day trip for those wishing to combine a countryside holiday with a visit to Italy's capital.

Everything provided for a relaxing stay

We want guests to enjoy their holiday without worrying about the practical details.

A comprehensive information folder is available at the villa, and we also send guests detailed directions and useful information before arrival.

We provide leaflets and recommendations covering local attractions, restaurants, villages and places of interest.

Our neighbour, Dina, is also available to help with anything you may need during your stay.

Enjoy Italy at its best – whatever the season

Whether you are planning a large family holiday, a gathering of friends, a relaxing spring escape or an autumn break discovering authentic Italy, Villa Vesta offers the space, comfort and facilities to make your stay special.

We look forward to welcoming you to Villa Vesta and sharing this beautiful corner of Abruzzo with you.
