What a beautiful area to visit - the scenery is just breath taking. Rob and Linda were very welcoming and attentive without being intrusive and nothing was too much trouble - they even gave us a tour of the area so the we knew where to find local markets etc. Excellent recommendations for trips out and restaurants too. It really is a haven to kick back, relax and unwind. Pool setting is stunning and we even swam in late May. We will definitely be back. Thank you for looking after us so well.

If you are looking for a romantic place for 2 or even going with other couples you could not wish to find a more idyllic setting. The driving instructions to get to our villa were absolutely fantastic and for once we did not get lost. Our hosts who live on site could not have been more helpful - places to visit, places to eat and they booked our restaurant as well as giving us detailed directions, places to shop and things to do. The swimming pool was gorgeous and always clean and beautifully kept. The villa is perfect for 2, well equipped, spotlessly clean and well maintained, and the air conditioning made the hot days and evenings a pleasure. Even beach towels were provided which was great especially if travelling with limited suitcase space. Our trips out to the seaside and mountains were delightful and all with fantastic driving instructions from our host. Our host informed us about local events happening in the evenings with firework displays and indeed the two that we attended were absolutely spectacular. So, if you are looking for a place to rest, relax, read, swim, sunbathe and be on your own then look no further. Thank you so much to David and Pauline who helped make our holiday so enjoyable.

This was our first visit to Abruzzo and we werent disappointed. If you are looking for somewhere away from the crowds this is it. A beautiful setting with spectacular views set amongst olive groves. The villa was very well appointed and we appreciated the ground coffee and other little touches. A lovely swimming pool and David and Pauline were always helpful and gave us lots of tips about the area and even printed out individual directions to help us negotiate the windy roads to get us to our destination. We are keen walkers and tried several of the well known trails of differing lengths and difficulty from coastal paths to mountain peaks of the Majella National Park. Newton, Hampshire, England

We spent four days in villa Pesco Falcone and our break was relaxing from start to finish. David made sure we had excellent driving instructions to get to the villa and we did not get lost once. The villa is situated well off the beaten track with stunning views over the olive clad hills in which it is set and the dramatic mountains beyond. Throughout our stay David and Pauline were both so friendly and helpful, suggesting days out for us and making sure we were well looked after, but never in an interfering way. It was great knowing we could ask for directions and suggestions if we needed them. The temptation was to stay and sit by the pool enjoying the view by day and eating on our terrace of an evening, but the hospitality we received at a local restaurant suggested by David and Pauline prompted us to return there on our last night. The views from the villa are amazing and you could hear a pin dro p it is so peaceful. The villa itself was wonderful, very well equipped with lovely homely touches. The region of Abruzzo is a wonderful place and is so quiet and unspoilt. Thank you so much David and Pauline for such a wonderful holiday, we will definitely be back. Sarah and John. West Sussex, England

Believe the reviews that say David and Pauline have it right...it is a lovely villa, in a delightful location - everything clean and welcoming, just right after a journey from the UK. Wine and beer to welcome the weary travellers, and excellent "pre-arrival" instructions and helpful hints. The "welcome book" is filled with helpful hints, clear directions and instructions (do your shopping at Scrizz - the ladies sing while stacking shelves!) Filling our days relaxing by the pool, and wandering the lane at night listening to crickets and watching fireflies...just magic. We didnt want to leave, and have already started planning our next adventure in Abruzzo. Thank you, David and Pauline!!! Debbe and Brian. Swansea, South Wales

My wife and i, and another couple, enjoyed 4 nights at this lovely spot. David and Pauline were amazingly friendly, helpful and instructive. Perfect for hosts to visitors unsure of the langage and the location. Each day was special as the small towns, wonderful restaurants and local sights were tackled one by one. And through it all, as a refuge from the activity was the perfectly peaceful patio at our Villa. From their, you could see much of the Abruzzo countryside with unobstructed views. We also used the fully stocked kitchen to make two dinners so we could sit on the patio and enjoy the lovely evenings with our friends. We felt we were in a private estate in the Italian Hills! We totally enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it to anyone travelling to or through the Abruzzo region. Make sure to follow the restaurant suggestions that David and Pauline have in their well written booklet of everything to do in the area. Or just chat with them...as they are perfectly available and willing to help. Thank yous to David and Pauline for making our trip so memorable! Gary, San Francisco, USA

Wij hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf in Villa Pesco Falcone. David en Pauline hebben ons een bijzonder welkom gevoel gegeven en we werden echt in de watten gelegd. Vanuit de villa kun je veel mooie en interessante plaatsen in het gebied bezoeken. David zorgt dan altijd voor een gedetailleerde routebeschrijving. Ook het (zand)strand is niet ver weg. Wij hebben heerlijk gezwommen in het zwembad en genoten van de rust. Jurjen. Netherlands

We can thoroughly recommend this as a relaxing, peaceful location for couples looking for somewhere off the beaten track and well away from tourist resorts and crowds. After a reassuring chat with David, prior to our booking, we were emailed detailed directions and helpful hints before our arrival. Inside each villa a most useful welcome book has been complied, which includes useful instructions and places to visit. David and Pauline are perfect hosts, friendly and welcoming and are on hand to give directions and recommend or book restaurants. The villas are most comfortable, well maintained and extremely well equipped, including thoughtful touches like an umbrella, torch, plasters and a selec tion of books. The terrace area offers amazing views of the surrounding countryside where you can sit back with a bottle of wine and enjoy opportunities to observe the local wildlife. The pool area is delightful, peaceful and private and well looked after. What more could you want? The photographs and information on the web site say it all! Thank you David and Pauline for a most enjoyable stay and for making us feel so welcome. Jill, Kent

We were looking for a quiet, relaxing break and Villa Pesco Falcone gave us exactly that, very well equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The view from the terrace is a joy to behold and so very peaceful. The pool is clean and a refreshing distraction from the sunshine. David and Pauline are great hosts and we found their information and communication second to none. They are always available to offer help, book restaurants or give directions. They have an extensive knowledge of the local area and are able to give accurate, honest information regarding local sights etc. Abruzzo is typically Italian and has a lot to offer, the Adriatic one way, the mountains the other - there is so much to see if you so desire or just laze by the pool watching the red kites soaring on the thermals -wonderful! We would not hesitate in recommending Villa Pesco Falcone to others. We will be back. Peter, London

Thank you David & Pauline we have had a really fantastic time… as regulars to this area we honestly feel that finding Villa Pesco Falcone has put the icing on this already impressive cake! We now cant think of a better place to unwind and relax, especially sitting by (or in) the pool staring out at the ever changing mountains and hills, Its been the perfect place for our Abruzzo holiday. Youve created a haven of peace and tranquillity which restores the soul. I will have no hesitation in recommending this to friends and family and know that they will have an equally wonderful time. The Abruzzo region of Italy has so much to offer in the way of great scenery, excellent walking, interesting historic sites, brilliant shopping in the larger towns such as Pescara and fabulous restaurants at great prices… I don’t think we will ever tire of it. The villas offer everything you need and more for a self catering holiday with great quality fixtures, fittings and furnishings… welcoming touches such as wine, basil and lemons. David & Pauline really have thought of everything, they check in discreetly to ensure your having a great holiday offering hints, tips, directions and sharing their local knowledge…they have obviously worked very hard creating the right balance for a perfect getaway and we are so glad they did! Please can we come again… Tracey and Neil, Northumberland, England
