Magnifique La Casa Foelas est un endroit extraordinaire. Nous y sommes déjà allés 2 étés et nous y retournerons encore. Il y a beaucoup d'endroits à visiter aux alentours et la maison est magnifique, reposante et la piscine rien que pour nous est parfaite. Merci à Jane et David pour leur gentillesse et leur disponibilité. Je recommande à 100%.

2 semaines à Casoli Superbe villa au cœur des Abruzzes, la piscine avec vue est magnifique ! Un barbecue, un braséro, une table, un hamac, des transats et un étendoir pour le linge sont présents à l'extérieur. Une machine à laver, un frigo + réfrigérateur et un lave-vaisselle en cuisine. Maison moderne surtout pour le pays. La climatisation dans les chambres et le salon le prouve ainsi qu'une grande douche à l'italienne. Des jeux de société ainsi que des DVD sont à disposition. Il y a également des recommandations sur la région afin de faciliter les visites. Tout ce qu'il faut pour passer un bon moment de repos, il faudra cependant prévoir une voiture pour vous déplacer dans la région et accéder à la maison. Jane a toujours été prompte à nous répondre et elle a, en plus, une personne sur place qui vient au besoin nettoyer la piscine ou fournir des renseignements (voir même changer une ampoule 😉). La maison est pour vous seuls et il n'y a pas de vis-à-vis, que demander de plus ?!

Petit coin de paradis Après cette période de confinement nous avions besoin et envie de nous retrouver mon époux et moi. Cette maison a répondu en tout point à nos attentes. Le lieu au calme sans être loin de tout, l'accueil parfait, la maison exacte voire même plus, que la présentation. La réactivité de Jane lors de nos échanges, bref une destination méconnu des français, mais à découvrir au plus vite.

New year break Wow, what a fabulous week we had. The Casa is beautifully and tastefully done, with so many nice touches. We dipped into the supply of dvds and books during our stay, browsed the maps and tourist information. The drive from Rome airport is straightforward and very scenic! No tourists around in mid January, but we found only a few in most parts in June when we were last here. Hope to come again soon!

Enjoyable Abbiamo trascorso una piacevolissima vacanza a Casa Foelas. La casa è gradevolmente arredata ed equipaggiata in modo efficace con tutto ciò che può servire. Siamo stati benissimo, zona tranquilla dove poter godere della piscina ad uso esclusivo durante tutta la giornata. Siamo stati contentissimi e soddisfatti della scelta. Jane è sempre stata disponibilissima e la corrispondenza con lei è stata sempre pronta, efficace ed utile. Un grazie anche a David per la sua disponibilità e collaborazione in loco.

Beautiful with amazing view I visited casa foellas with my boyfriend early September as a relaxing break following a busy city stay in Rome. To start, the weather was amazing, not too hot (around 28-30 degrees) but still warm enough to enjoy the pool overlooking a beautiful scenery Activities were not sparse, with the Le Morge beach only half an hour away in the car and other tourist attractions like Roccascalegna and roman ruins, we never found ourselves bored, the nearby restaurants also provide some delicious meals, I especially recommend Pizzeria Trattoria and Serranella, when you're feeling a bit too lazy to cook in the fully equipped kitchen! The owners thought of everything you could possibly need to ensure a relaxing holiday was had and I’ll be sure to visit again

Idyllic This is our second visit to this charming property in such a quiet location. Since our last visit the owners have continued to make improvements with a lovely new covered patio, great for sitting out during the day to avoid the strong sun, and at night. There is also a now a pool (not having one last year didn't detract from our enjoyment because our visit was earlier in the season). This seems to have complemented the property well and was a welcome relief from the heat. Its design seems to blend in with the landscape and provides great views across the valley. Whilst the property is on a quiet lane away from the hustle and bustle there is local inexpensive eating just a few minutes away by car and the local town, Casoli, is worth visiting on market day.

Traditional, cosy house set in the Italian countryside in semi-rural location close to shops and restaurants The house is set in a semi rural location in a quiet lane in the Italian countryside close to Casoli. The views are stunning and the home is extremely comfortable and cosy with all amenities on hand. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. There is a supermarket and a few shops within a 5 minute drive together with a handful of restaurants. We visited 2 of the local restaurants and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. The house is within 45 minutes from Pescara airport or 2.5 hours from Rome, 15 minutes to the beach and 1 hour to the main ski resort. The owners were great to deal with and we really enjoyed our stay, we have recommended it to friends already and can't wait to return!

Well appointed villa and a great place to relax Communication with the owner, Jane, was flawless. When we booked she quickly sorted out a Tripadvisor induced problem and was extremely quick in answering our queries. The villa was spotless, both inside and out. I believe there was enough kitchenware to provide for a family of 10! The villa was very comfortably and tastefully furnished. David, the on-site manager (who lives just up the road), was very helpful and a mine of information regarding places to eat out at and to visit. There was also a large number of guides and maps available. The villa is situated in a very quiet area and it was the perfect place to just sit out on the patio and relax and recharge your batteries. It is obvious that Jane has put a lot of thought into the way in which she has tastefully furnished and equipped the villa and we can't give it a strong enough recommendation.

Ottima soluzione!! La casa è divisa in 2 unità, con una famiglia di amici abbiamo affittato l'intera struttura (l'appartamento al piano superiore ha un posto letto in più ed è leggermente più grande). Le unità sono complete di ogni elettrodomestico e di tutta la biancheria necessaria (abbiamo trovato anche i teli mare). All'esterno il giardino non è enorme ed è in discesa in quanto la casa si trova in collina, per i bambini è quindi difficile scatenarsi, però c'è comunque un gazebo per mangiare all'aperto, un caminetto e delle sdraio per rilassarsi. In 4 adulti e 3 bambini di 3/6 anni siamo stati veramente bene. I proprietari sono inglesi, però per eventuali problemi o indicazioni, nella casa poco distante abita David (persona gentilissima) che aiuta gli ospiti. La posizione è in leggera collina, lontana dalla confusione ma poco distante da: supermercato e negozi (8/10 minuti), Fossacesia (25 minuti), Vasto (meno di un'ora), Lanciano (25 minuti).

After a truly picturesque – and easy – drive from the airport, Casa Foelas can be found in the friendly hamlet of Guarenna Vecchia (old Guarenna).

There is lots to do in the area and both the coast and the beautiful national park are just 25 minutes away by car.

The flavours of Abruzzo cuisine are deep-rooted in the region’s history, with its hundreds of years of experience in farming the land and rearing livestock.

It makes the area a perfect place for foodies with a number of superb restaurants less than 10 minute walk away through the countryside and olive groves.

And it is a great place to stock up on top quality olive oil, cheeses, pasta and wine as well as salami (Italian charcuteries), honey, liqueurs and many other Italian specialities.

Easy to get to – Casa Foelas is less than 3 hours from Rome or Naples

Fly to Pescara airport which is about 45 mins from the house by car. Car hire is available at the airport. Flights are several times a week from Stanstead.

Or fly to Rome either Ciampino or Fiumicino. Most airports have flights to Rome. Hire a car and drive over to the house. Travel time is about 3 hours but the drive is breathtakingly beautiful and easy once out of the airports.

Or fly to Naples and again drive over to the house – it takes about 3 hours. Another option is to fly to Bari – this is a new route that opened up in 2017. Again hire a car and the drive to the house is about 2 and 1/2 hours.

For more travel information please see our Reservations page.

Free loan of preset sat nav for guests travelling from the UK.

Don’t worry about how to find us, we will send you the sat-nav co-ordinates for the house or, if required, included in the rental price is the loan of a pre-programmed sat-nav with directions to Casa Foelas.
