Description

A charming detached, characterful stone cottage in a small hamlet near to the 11th century town of Crecchio.  It is certified as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, with its narrow cobbled streets, and stone clad houses, Crecchio is renowned for its castle where King Umberto II spent his last night in Italy after being exiled.

The house is a short distance from Crecchio, and being in the centre of the hamlet, was used as a gathering place for the neighbours who would come and dance the night away after a long day working in the fields. It-s most suited to those who want to immerse themselves in an authentic Italian community, with an informal and relaxed atmosphere.  Only 40 minutes from Pescara airport and 10 minutes to the nearest motorway, it has been designed as a lock-up and go, and would be ideal as a holiday home, rental investment or permanent residence.

The rustic wooden entrance doors open into a large, airy, living, dining and kitchen area. With beautiful flagstone tiles, beamed ceilings, and a traditional brickwork kitchen, complete with original pizza oven, the approximate 50sqm area, with its high ceilings, and patio doors leading out to the 60sqm terrace provides ample space for entertaining.

The bespoke wood and iron-work staircase, set against the thick stone walls, is a focal point on all three levels.  The spacious first floor landing leads to a single bedroom with original floor tiles, basin, and countryside views from the Juliet balcony.  A set of doors from the landing leads to a bright dual aspect double bedroom with a Juliette balcony and roll top bath. The shower room next door has been tastefully designed, making the most of the exposed stone.

The staircase continues to the second floor, which is a converted attic.  It is open plan and currently used as a bedroom and relaxation area.  There is an a bathroom, plus balcony with a sea view while to the front, the Juliet balcony has a lovely mountain view.

The open aspect of the house, with its large windows and different views, gives a feeling of being immersed in the countryside, without the isolation.

A council-owned narrow strip separates the house from the summer space next door, complete with swimming pool, gazebo, covered kitchen area and private parking.

Within easy reach of all amenities, only a 10-minute drive to the nearest beach, and one hour to the Majella mountain, this attractive stone cottage has been lovingly renovated with fine taste, offering a very comfortable and welcoming home in which to explore the beautiful region of Abruzzo. 

CRECCHIO - CHIETI PROVINCE

A small village which is surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. This pretty settlement is found 208 metres above sea level, and it has maintained its medieval character. It is dominated by the presence of the ducal castle where the Italian Royal Family stayed on their last night in Italy before their exile in 1943. Housed inside, is now the Byzantine and Early Medieval Abruzzo Museum exhibiting many interesting archaeological finds.

For the 2,871 inhabitants there are shops, restaurants and bars in the nearby town of Canosa Sannita, less than 3 kms away.

What we do for you

We help you realise your Italian property dreams by providing exceptional, friendly and personal service. This is delivered in the selection of suitable properties to meet your initial brief, followed by arranging property viewings. Our network of specialists will guide you throughout the sales cycle with financial, translation and legal services until purchase completion. We aim to make the whole process both enjoyable and stress free!

An optional, post sales property management package, provides ease of mind while you adjust to your new culture and environment. We are always focused on your priorities and needs.

Our properties

We work with key residential and licensed agencies in Italy. Each of our associates brings to us a large and varied portfolio of properties. This allows us to provide you with the widest selection of properties in the Regions of Abruzzo and Molise and across all price ranges.

We market these properties on our website, Rightmove and social media channels. This gives them exposure to both a UK and worldwide audience. From a holiday home on the Adriatic coast to a permanent house in the historic town of Penne, we can find your ideal property. We can also suggest restoration projects and land allowing you to build your own.

Our services

We promote property for sale in Abruzzo and Molise on behalf of our network of Italian estate agents, all of whom are registered with the FIAIP (Federazione Italiana Agenti Immobilliari Professionali), which is the industry’s governing body. This ensures that all documents and the final contract, in relation to your purchase, will fully comply with Italian laws and provide you with complete protection.

We also market property on behalf of private property owners who may wish to deal with us directly for ease of language and locality. One of our local colleagues can visit the property to take photographs and prepare a property description, if required. Once again, the contract will be overseen by an FIAIP agent, ensuring peace of mind.

Once you decide to purchase a property and contact us, our sales team will analyse your detailed property requirements before conducting a thorough search of all the properties that might suit. The next stage is normally a trip to Abruzzo and Molise, not only to view a selection of these properties, but to relax and enjoy the local ambience. This is a vital part of the purchase process as the area will become an important feature in your future life. Not only do we advise on property viewings but we also facilitate the entire viewing trip with recommended places to stay and areas to explore.

Once a property is decided upon, we leverage our local network of professionals to assist you through the process of obtaining tax certificates, opening bank accounts, validating property deeds and local planning consent, through to the necessary translation of documents and obtaining the best possible currency rates for the purchase transaction. We can even put you in touch with companies specialising in Italian mortgages, if required.
